  We are usually asked how to paint an existing laminate counter, and if it's also possible. Yes, countertops can be painted by you, but you have to prepare the countertop surface carefully beforehand with special primer. Heres how.
  
  (1) Wash the countertop with some ammonia-based cleaner or some warm ammonia diluted with water. Get it as clear as you can, removing all dirt and grime. You might desire to put strips of low-tack painters record on any cut across the counter, when the area is dry.
  
  (2) The next step is to prime the counter surface with a connection primer, this will ensure the paint will stick to a non-porous surface. Good quality bonding primers are XIM 400, Sherwin-Williams PrepRite, or Zinssers Bin. Follow the primer companies instructions; intend on letting the primer setting for around 24 hours before painting. The smell may be strong, so consider opening windows and closing the space faraway from the rest of the home when working with these items.
  
  (3) When the primer is dry, its time for you to paint your chosen new color paint to the present laminate counter. Nothing changes a kitchens seem quite so much as countertop finishes, so make certain youve matched swatches to your current colors devices, flooring, walls and all. Use water based paint; the chemicals in oil based paints may leech into your food, that is not really a good thing, if your laminate countertops are used by you to prepare food entirely on. Apply two to three thin layers of paint, allowing them to dry between each layer. If you like, and are feeling creative, you can stencil-paint some patterned edges on your laminate countertops new foundation color as well at this point.

  (4) The final step would be to seal the color. Three layers of satin or high-gloss non-yellowing memory will give you maximum longevity. Dig up further on a related essay by clicking visit site.

You might have to order take-out meals for a couple of days, but it will be worth it when you see your wonderful new colored laminate counters in your kitchen.
