Paint advice for Rockpanel Ply

The Rockpanel Ply boards are primed with an undercoat from the wood processing industry, which you can finish with the colour coating of your choice. The paint solutions suitable for wood products should in principle also be suitable to finish Rockpanel Ply, provided that the paint manufacturer’s recommendations are followed. Always consult your paint supplier and the paint manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
