Trouble Painting Laminate Counter Top |
|
|
My counter tops are painted Malaya Red, and I am using Helsman oil based satin polyurethane. When I apply the coat it is beautiful and even, but when it dries it looks like I missed spots. I have sanded (220) twice now and I am wandering if it needs more coats or maybe if it is the depth of the color. Looking at the counters they are great but if you look at an angle that is when you see the uneven look of the poly. Any help would be great!

RE: Trouble Painting Laminate Counter Top
I am frustrated too. Still trying to get the top OIL OIL coat to take. I used a brush they said to use and got marks, I sanded and used mineral spirtis to dry it and then the varnish second coat separated, then did everything they told me, next used a foam roller and left marks, tonight I sanded down again and going to try a foam brush in morning. I wish we could get answers for this issue. Any help would be great.

RE: Trouble Painting Laminate Counter Top
First, red is a hard color to paint. After 2 coats on my daughters kitchen walls it still looked like we had missed some spots. It took 4 coats. Second, We painted her counter tops, sanded, primed and then painted with a latex. We sealed hers with a pour on product called Envirotex. It worked great. If you can't find this try an oil based sealer. Paint or spray on, let completely dry, sand lightly and paint or spray again--you may have to do this several times to get good even coverage. Good luck. If we did it anyone can.

Request: Trouble Painting Laminate Counter Top
I need help painting laminate counter tops. Already sanded, primed, painted and did 1 coat of water base sealer. I now have brush marks where I used the sealer. I tried to sand and it's chipping the paint. What did I do wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

You need to use oil base sealer. Water base will not work. I have did mine and they came out really nice. (04/09/2008)
