You CAN paint laminate furniture! YAE! In this post I share with you the BEST paints for painting over laminate. After you have painted your piece of laminate furniture no one will even know that it was laminate!
Before painting laminate furniture make sure to fill in any scratches or holes with wood putty. Also if any laminate is trying to peel off take a small amount of Elmers glue and glue it back down.
You will need two to three coat of Annie Sloans Chalk Paint. Once your project is fully painted you can seal it with clear wax. Wax is very durable and will provide a lasting finish! It is also water repellent!
Close up of the drawers with dark wax added. I took a fine tip brush and added dark wax. I lightly wiped away the excess wax with a shop towel. I Also did a whitewash on the hardware.
Completed desk! Do you like this desk makeover? If so I'd LOVE to hear! Leave a comment below.
