Hi all,

I recently tried to paint my headboard white. It was wooden before I painted it. Visited a paint shop and explained what I was doing and I was given a tin of white paint (can't remember the specific make). It wasn't chalk paint.

Now here's the issue - I tried to paint the headboard after sanding it and the paint keeps peeling. I'm not sure what to try next. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
D

No, pure grip is water based and wont kill heavy staining. BIN is shellac and will block more or less anything.
