We’re glad you asked! Not only can you paint Ikea furniture, but painting laminate is actually a less time-consuming process than learning how to paint wood furniture!
What You’ll Need:
-
Tack cloth & water
-
Wood filler (optional)
-
Particle mask and a dry, well-ventilated space
-
Drop cloths
-
(3) Mini foam rollers & (3) paint trays
-
150 and 220 grit sandpaper, or palm sander
PRO TIP: If your final paint color will be dark, consider tinting your primer to a similar color as your finish paint.
-
Detail Brushes, Top Coat Paintbrush or a Furniture Paintbrush Kit for tight corners and hard to reach spots
-
Paint & mixing sticks
-
A water-based polyurethane topcoat sealer. Topcoats come in matte, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss finishes to give you either flat or shiny finishes. This choice comes down to personal preference.
