Do you have some old laminate furniture that you want to give a second life? Then this easy project will teach you everything you need to know.
Step 1: Prepare your furniture
Take out your drawers. Place them on the protective paper, you don't want to get primer on your
floor! Remove any dust or dirty spots, use a cloth with warm water and clean your furniture.
Step 2: Apply the primer
We use shellac based primer. That helps the paint to stick to your furniture. Give your primer a
good stir before applying. When you don't use a primer your paint will scratch off over time. Use
an oil based roller and a roller tray.
Step 3: Apply the paint
After you have enough layers of primer on your furniture, we are going to start painting.
Now you can enjoy your furniture even longer!
