- YES, you CAN paint laminate furniture! You just need to know the "secret!" This video reveals the secret to painting any laminate surface and creating a durable, beautiful finish!
A lot of the furniture you purchase today is laminate. Repainting it the right way so the paint does not easily scrape off is simple and does not require much work.
In this video, I show you how to identify laminate furniture and then show you the simple steps to successfully paint it with a durable, long lasting finish.
A lot of IKEA furniture is laminate so the the techniques I review with you in this video will always work to refinish IKEA furniture.
Only a few supplies are needed and a few minutes of your time to makeover any laminate furniture.
I have used this technique many times and know from experience that the final finish is durable and will remain beautiful for years to come. (Of course, the thing that takes the longest, is the time required to let the primer, paint and finish dry!)
When furniture flipping for profit, you need to be able to finish a piece of furniture quickly but you also need to ensure that the refinishing will stand the test of time. When doing a furniture makeover of laminate furniture, you can use these same supplies if you choose to spray them on or hand paint based on your preference.

Some people show the process really well but don’t really teach it or explain it well. You did both! Thank you for this video!
I have a laminate dresser and night stand I can’t justify replacing and this video helped me feel good about my decision now that I know how to paint them properly!
Can't wait to try this in my kitchen . Iv watched more videos but not as clear as this one now I'm 100% confident to do it !
So helpful- going to tackle a laminate desk for my craft room! Thank you!
Thank you so much, so many instructions just go to chalk paint but never include a finishing method. You've helped so much. It's greatly appreciated.
Great information, thank you!
Super helpful with great context for each step of the process.
Wow what a great finish! 👍🏽
Great tutorial! Thank you!

Woah, such detailed instructions. thank you so much 👏
I have been thinking about painting my old laminate wardrobes for years but didn't know exactly how to do it, but now I do, I also have a sideboard I need to do ASAP, it's in a bad way, wish me luck. Xx
Great video thank you very detailed explanation
Very interesting and well done, thank you!
I've been wanting my kitchen cupboards done for a while now
They're high gloss and I asked for a quote from a professional. He quoted me just under three grand, UK pounds. I dont have a large kitchen, ten doors ranging from half width to standard but I wasn't going to pay that amount. Now I've found this video, I have the confidence to tackle it myself. Thank you for this video ❤
The aged gray is sooo pretty
Hi Amber. Yes, I like the color a lot too!
I love this video so easy to understand and very helpful l bought two night stand and I was in a hurry and I just got back home and looked at them and found out they were not solid wood. Thanks again
fabulous. thank you so much, so educational/ im going to be painting my laminate night stand.
Thank u! This was very helpful.
Great video simple, clear step by step .I’m encouged now to try it on my laminated desk..
thank you ❤
Your videos are really helpful!
Glad you like them!
Love your videos! It helps so much to show my boyfriend why I can’t just buy and resell without really putting the work in :)😊
Excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thanks Paola!
Just found this video which has been really helpful- I have 2 sets of laminated drawers that I'll be doing - thanks for saving me some money- much love from Scotland uk
I am glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the info
You are very welcome!
I did not think it was possible to paint laminate furniture. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
You explain everything so nice. Your work is impeccable and i watch alotttttt of furniture flip channels/shows. God bless.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you very much, your video is really helpful. As I am making a wall unit with four IKEA bookshelves . I need to paint them on the laminate. I got a great guidance from your video. Thanks again
Glad it was helpful! BE certain to scuff sand and use primer!
Use a vinyl sealer or shellac to stop bleed through. Smell isnt bad for that small of a piece, cleans up with denatured alcohol
you are awesome
I just love your videos so knowledgeable and I love the jazz music in the background I am a new subscriber thank you
Yeah! Thanks for subscribing. I too like the jazz but in more recent videos I am switching it up because I had some complaints :-(
This is very helpful. I have a bathroom sink cabinet that is laminate and needs refinishing.
Hi Mary I am glad it was helpful! I would recommend using an OIL BASED PRIMER since the bathroom sink cabinet may be prone to get wet. Let me know how your project goes.
Very helpful, thank you. Just found your channel.
Glad it was helpful!
I was looking for something to put over paint to protect it! Nothing I looked at said it was for over paint. I will use the Verathane that you used. Hope it works good. My furniture is laminate.
Hi.. Great video. Thank you. Out of the 2 primer you showed, which one did you use? Or do you use a combination of both? Or can we use either and it doesn't matter?
Also what are your thoughts on shellac base primer for laminates?
great Job!!!! I will try it with a big dresser and a little bit nervous.
You can do it!
Great video! Which primer do you recommend for painting an Ikea bookcase, Zinsser Bull's Eye 123 or Cover Stain?
Enjoyed your video. Very helpful! Question about primer paint you used, did you use a combination of both you showed or just one? If you used a combination, how much of each did you use? Thank you again for videos!
Very helpful!! I would like to know what you do with the back of the chest of drawers & the side table. Also, what do you do to the handles that are on these pieces. Thanks!
Hi RIta. I just released the video with the complete refinishing of the gray dresser. Here is the Video link
czcams.com/video/zThp3b-fCQE/video.html
Curious is there something inherently better about using chalked paint vs other paints for laminate refresh or is that just what was preferred for the “look”?
Chalk paint can be thinned easily so the paint brush marks are minimal. It also adheres well to various surfaces and finishes. Give it a try and you will see what I mean!!! Latex is think and leaves brush strokes. It can sometimes peel off. Chalk paint sticks! BUT you should always put a sealer over chalk paint to protect it!!!
Nn😂😢😢😝😁😢b
I'm not sure if I missed this info in your video or not. Do you clean your pieces as the first step in your prep process ? Also, many other creators recommend Howard's Feed and Wax for drawer slides and guides, as well as wood nourishment. Do you advocate that product as well?
Love your channel, just found it. very instructional. on this video I had two questions. 1) you choose chalk paint, why? could one use interior house paint? why or why not? I ask because the color I want to match needs to be custom mix like they do at paint stores and I do not think that they will do that at like Sherman Williams stores etc.,
2) now you used a sponge for the clear coat, could you have used the disposable roller like you did for the primer? why or why not? thank you. I look forward to learning more.
Hi Lyndon. Thanks for all your questions 1) I am using chalk paint because it is very durable and easy to apply. Have you ever used it? It is quite different from any other paint I have used. You can actually go to Home Depot and they will color match the Behr chalk paint to any color you want. They can also mix it in any of the colors on the "wall". I do not like to use latex paint because it peels off in time. Watch my video where I tested different brands of chalk paint and tested them for durability. I painted a piece of metal with chalk paint and one week later after it had cured I had to actually use paint stripper to get it off the metal!! Here is the link to that video: czcams.com/video/wS8TLTD-vg0/video.html
2) If you use a disposable foam roller to apply sealer you will get tiny bubbles in the sealer. If you use a car washing sponge you can very quickly apply a thin coat with no streaks, brush marks or bubbles. Give it a try- you just might like it! OF course if you use a sponge, you may need to apply 3-5 coats to get the proper thickness but it goes on so fast that you are done in no time. Plus it dries real fast when you use a sponge.
Shellac for my primer as primer ruins my rollers and or brushes and it's much easier!😅😅for laminate😊
do you use poly on the whole piece? not just the top?
Thank you for the tips. Is this a storage unit that you used as a work space?
Hi Nancy. I was temporarily in a storage unit until my permanent space was available. I am now in a climate controlled well light 750 square foot space that I have found very comfortable to work in.
Can I use foam roller instead of brush?and also for polyurethane?
Great video thank you. Just wondering, at what stage are you supposed to use Krud Kutter or Sugar Soap? As I notice you didn't use either. Thank you.
I always wash the piece before I prime it. I frequently use Krud Kutter to wash it.
If I’m painting dark laminate a black color, can I prime with water based stain block primer instead of oil?
Wow you wipe on the polyurethane 🤩😍 what type of sponge is that? Do you do light coat or a bit thicker? Thank you!
Hi Nancy, I use a car washing sponge that I cut into segments. I put on multiple THIN coats. They dry very fast so it does not take long to put on 4+ coats.
Can do I have to use polyurethane on a satin finish?
Hello! I Really like your thorough teaching style! I was wondering if your storage unit that you are working in has electrical outlets? It seems like a good idea as I don't have room for a workshop in my home. I'm Deborah (using my partner's youtube channel) Thank you~
Hi Deborah. I was only in a storage unit for a month until I found my workshop . Now I am in a 750 square foot area that is part of a retail /office center. I am so much more comfortable here with air conditioning/heat , electricity and better lighting. No there are no electrical outlets in a storage using so everything I used was cordless/battery operated. Thanks for watching!!! Please give my video a thumbs up so CZcams knows it has value and will show it to others!
Meant to ask if you recommend using chalk pain on kitchen, bathroom cabinet and countertop?
Hi Evelina. I have never painted a counter top but would never use chalk paint for a counter top. I have never heard it recommended. Chalk paint is fine for kitchen or bathroom cabinet provided you prime it paint it and than give it 4-6 coats of sealer.
It is my understanding that laminate and engineered wood are not the same. Can you do a video on restoring an engineered wood dresser?
Can you recommend chalk pain on kitchen and bathroom cabinets?
Hi Evelina- refer to my response in your prior post.
I used a latex paint and it's fully dry and it scratching, what finish should I use?
I’m doing diy project. Can I do this process to my kitchen cabinets?
Yes you can!
I wonder what did you used for the polyurethane? Was it a brush, a spong or what?
I used an car washing sponge that I purchased from Dollar Tree and then cut it down. It works great! I used water based polyurethane.
Oh yes good idea to use sponge for primer😅😅
Can you take a paint with primer and turn it into chalk paint
I've watched many channels and am just staring in flipping furniture. So many say be careful applying poly to the "light" colored furniture because of yellowing. You don't mention this. Do you find that this Varathane Ultimate doesn't yellow light colored finishes? I am fixing to flip and dining table and am concerned about yellowing. As yourself if I am going to sell a piece I want it to be as high quality as I can make it.
First and foremost- most yellowing on white furniture is not due to the sealer as much as it is due to bleed through. Therefore I always use an oil based primer any time I am going to paint furniture white. In addition, if I have pine knots in the wood I ALSO spray the knots with shellac. I prime it even if I am not sanding it to bare wood. I repeat- I ALWAYS PRIME WOOD FURNITURE THAT I AM GOING TO PAINT WHITE. I prefer spray primer- it goes on quickly, does not require sanding in between and seals the wood better than water based primer. The only time I have had a problem with water based poly turning yellow is when I have some drips- the drips will sometimes turn yellow. So I make certain I do not have drips. I too am very concerned about white furniture turning yellow- I believe the primer is most important.
Yoiu need to hold the products up to the camera for longer. I’m not a slow reader, but I couldn’t read it before it was gone! Otherwise, thanks for addressing such a common application!
You don't mention it in the video, but did you apply only one coat of polyurethane? Is more than one coat recommended? Do I need to sand in between if I apply more than one coat of polyurethane?
I usually put 3-4 thin coats of water based polyurethane on a piece. I only sand it with crumpled up newspaper to get off the "nibs". Of course you have to be careful that you are in a dust free environment. I never paint or apply finish outside- too much dust!
Was that a sponge you used to add the polyurethane coat? 🧽🤔
It was a car washing sponge that I got from Dollar Tree. I cut it into sections. Love using it!!!
@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit Oh wow, tools come in all shapes & sizes
Did you clean the piece first? It just looks a little dusty...
Just to clarify .... this "laminate" is "formica" correct? Because there is also wood laminate.
Hi Glory. "wood laminate" is veneered wood. A laminate surface on furniture is usually a synethic plastic like material with wood grain printed on it. Formica is a much thicker and harder surface used on kitchen counters. I do not believe they put formica on dressers. Formica is a brand name. However, Formica is a kind of laminate.
Where have you been? Did you just quit doing makeovers?
lol......
I really don't like texture.
Thanks for watching!
I don't think I would put the time and money into a piece like that one, honestly. It's low quality. I looks nice finished but still is worth very little.
Good information is annoying that she goes from talking to randomly having txt on screen for 5 seconds that took loads of time away from me while having to rewind or pause randomly
Too much talking in the beginning… Just get to the pith
Too much talk, sorry I unsubscribe.
