Let me be the first to tell you this: With the right preparations, you CAN paint laminate furniture and it WILL look good. You just need to follow the following steps

I’m not really fond of laminate furniture and do my best to avoid it but sometimes the pieces just have to do (budget reasons). The good news is that you can personalize and update the furniture by painting the laminate and it’s not too difficult to do.

The tutorial shows you how to sand the laminate first, apply primer with a foam brush then allow the primer to dry for several days (she explains why in the tutorial). Next apply your paint, reassemble the pieces and voila! a nice looking piece of furniture for your home (that doesn’t break the bank).

Please visit the site listed above for complete details, nice job! Also see this quick tip sheet for painting the back of a bookshelf (to really perk the piece up): How To Paint Bookshelves.
