Do I have to use an oil base paint over melamine paint when I faux paint my Formica countertop? I already did the prep work and applied the first coat of white melamine paint. Thanks.
I used different colors of melamine paint together. I used Zinsser B-I-N primer-sealer /stain killer first, then I used a sea sponge to faux paint the formica counter. I then applied one coat of Minwax polycrylic protective finish (ultra fast drying clear gloss ), Then I lightly sanded with a 150 grit sandpaper, (use a damp rag to clean the surface off after each sanding in between finish coats. Apply as many finish coats as needed to get a uniform look. It looks very good, sorry, no pic! Allie in Canada
