Choosing the Best Paint for Plywood

There are a few things to take note of before you purchase your plywood paint. First is the paint finish as there are many choices.

The Amount of Paint Needed

Does your project require a lot of paint, like a floor, or is it something smaller? Most paints come in gallons and can cover quite a large area.

Do You Need a Primer Before

Most painters would recommend priming in all cases, as it helps the paint to adhere better to surfaces.

How to Paint Plywood

Gather Supplies

You should always gather everything you will be using, so you don't have to go looking for anything while you are busy.

Prepare the Plywood

Once you have placed drop cloths down, you can then mask off any areas you do not want the paint to get on.

Prime The Plywood

Make sure that you match the primer with the type of paint you are using, which would likely be water-based.

Paint The Plywood

Apply an even, thin coat of paint. It is better to have more thin coats than to apply fewer thicker layers of paint.
