Paint Peeling

nlgutters

I just painted my office today and i'm having some issues.

First it is my own house and office(Don't get angry)

The guy before me put up sheets? of fake wood? I'm trying to paint over it and just turn it white to brighten up the room

I put on some oil based paint and now when you touch it it peels off.

What do i need to do to get the paint to stick?

Do i need to now scrape off what i have done?

Thanks

Paneling needs to be roughed (sanded) or liquid sanded (Gloss off) and primed before it can be coated with anything, at this point you are going to have to move to another house.

bummer.




Scrape loose paint, sand down and spot prime bare areas with gripper primer (there are many on the market) and re~coat with paint.

When you say fake wood sheets, is it wood paneling that has a the wood / grain effect that is really just a synthetic covering ? You can remove a switch / plug plate and see the edge of the material. Is it masonite hardboard or thin particle board ?

Is it near a kitchen that would result in cooking grease or other build up on it ? If so the oil based paint will not stick as you say. Generally, there's some contamination on the surface that would keep it from sticking. Even of you didn't prep in any way there still should be a good coverage and adhesion. Is it just in spots or can you remove whole sections of the paint layer ? If its fake wood paneling, is the wood paneling layer coming off too ?

You'll get some remedies here and I have some in mind too but lets find out what you have there, the fake wood material and conditions first.

Its a wood grain particle board in 4' sheets.

No grease
wood not coming off
whole sections of paint

It has been a while since I used oil, but I would give it another day to see if it gets better. Sounds like it may have just skinned over and isn't dried at the surface. If not you will need to scrape off any thing you can, sand the edges to feather them out, prime ( I have had good success with Gripper bonding primer sealer from Glidden It is latex) then paint.

I think Wise is right. You should have wiped with wilbond, sanded with 220 then primed. Good luck.

Perhaps it's time to do away with the wood paneling and just sheet rock teh badboy? Probably take about as long as cleaning up the oil paint mess...

any kind of panelling has a factory finish you should have sanded the room down to break the finish then your oil base paint would have held, now you can take a 4" razor blade scraper, they use them to strip wallpaper, just shave all the paint off, then sand I would prime using Benjamin Moore's Freshstart Primer, then use the oil so you get a durable finish. Good luck

No, There is no magic product that you can put over a peeling product to lock down both products, either touch up or strip off and start over.

Yes that is all you can do, because our products are only as good as the surface the are going over.
