How to Paint Laminate
by

When I needed storage for our bathroom makeover, I found a way to paint an old laminate cabinet to make it fit the design.
Yes, you CAN paint laminate! It just takes a little extra prep work so that the paint doesn't scratch or peel off the surface. I used Old Village paint in Cabinet Makers Blue on this piece for our new bathroom makeover.
My parents had this old bathroom cabinet stored in their garage for years. It was the perfect size for our new bathroom makeover, but it needed a makeover of its own.
After lightly sanding the surface, I primed with KILZ adhesion primer. This primer helps to keep the paint stuck to the laminate surface.
The newly painted cabinet looks so nice in our made over bathroom, providing closed storage and extra color.

Diana Deiley on May 25, 2016I too LOVE that color. Me, I would have kept going and painted the vanity to match. Seriously, a very nice calming color. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
