How to paint laminate furniture
Transforming laminate furniture can be simple and effective with the right products. Follow these steps for a flawless result, without primer, thanks to our multi-purpose Reflow paint , available in all colors to meet your customization desires.
1. Preparing the Furniture
Start by disassembling the drawers, doors and all removable parts. This allows you to paint each element without the risk of dripping and makes it easier to apply the paint.
2. Light sanding with Scotch-Brite
Before sanding, clean the surface of the furniture with a microfibre cloth and Force 5 Cleaner to remove dirt and grease residue. This solvent-free product is ideal for preserving the surface.
Then, lightly sand the surface with an abrasive pad such as "Scotch-Brite" to reduce the shine of the laminate, this will improve the adhesion of the paint and facilitate the application of the first coat while increasing the covering power.
3. Applying Reflow Paint
With Reflow paint , there is no need for a primer. Reflow adheres perfectly to smooth surfaces, and it can be produced in any colour to suit your preferences. Apply the paint in thin, even coats. For optimal application, use:
