Vinyl Control Panel overlay - To prime or not to prime?
« on: August 04, 2009, 02:34:48 am »
I'm starting to paint my cabinet. I'm going to use a Vinyl cp overlay similar to Happ's pica

I need to know if I should prime the CP area and sand smooth or just leave it bare MDF then apply the vinyl?

I'm using Kilz2 primer if it makes a difference
I'm not using a Plexiglass overlay over the Vinyl.

Thanks in advance!

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

You should prime. The vinyl won't adhere to the bare MDF all that well.
