I used a Zinzer Primer over the laminate, I did first lightly sand the cabinets to get any grease and dirt off, then used the Zinser Primer, I had the primer tinted, though came out a darkish pink color, but still this was easier to cover than white. After that dried we followed with 3 coats of the choice of our color, so far so good, and is working out well

thanks for the comments and suggestions, I cant really afford the replace the doors at this time, the budget is really going elsewhere so painting seems like the thing to do, its just a a choice of colour. Im giving some thought to the black suggested by deeli, or a deep rich burgundy perhaps. Ugh . The cabinets are all Laminate, even the beveled edges that look like wood. Now of it is real wood. Ugh again. I thought about putting a flat wood trim around the edges to create a shaker style, Im just worried what the sides would look like. ... View related article. |
