Thanks so much for mentioning about the primer repelling at first. It's the one thing I've been curious about but haven't seen mentioned. Delighted that you confirmed I can put water based over it too. Great video!

[@JohnDoe-bk3db]

The article you wrote on how to paint Ikea furniture was so helpful. I recommend everyone to check it out.

Make sure you have good ventilation and a mask when using BIN shellac primer. Also ammonia mixed with warm water will clean your brushes and it's 1/8 the price of mineral spirits.

[@PoshPennies]

Thanks !

Key item: if you get your paint & have the paint mixer shake it. If the paint has sat, always use paint stir sticks or a drill powered paint mixer. Need to get the heavier parts mixed in with the other part. Did not know Zinser had a shellac based primer. Game changer, thanks for sharing!😊😊😊

[@susanneguzman5339]

If you are in business the price is important. Please don’t be influenced by rude people - so done with these self centered attitudes. Thank you for sharing; it’s very informative.

[@paigebehan3364]

Short, simple, and to the point!! Thanks! I am so excited that I don’t have to sand. I have a kitchen and two bathroom cabinets. I imagine if you paint the cabinets in the kitchen the bathrooms should match too yes? Thanks so much for the help!!!

[@vaderladyl]

Laminate can also be made out of paper layers pressed together and that definitely needs to be very well sealed with the primer so no moisture can penetrate it so it doesn't swell or peel off.

[@thelastcry08]

Great tutorial. I never knew we could paint on laminate furniture. It'll be great to see a follow up review to find out if the paint is still good.

Thank you sooooo much for doing this vid!! I've been trying to upcycle different bits of furniture for ages and it's always been a slog getting the piece sanded etc...this stuff is aaahhmmaazing!! I'll never use anything else now so thank you again,x 😊

[@Raistlin7il7nero]

Sanding is always recommend especial on laminate. By doing that you create a “profile” for the paint to stick on. That will most probably avoid the need for a second layer of primer. Thx for the video. I think the bottom line is to get your proposed primer which is pricy but seems to be the best solution.

[@vaderladyl]

And probably avoid the "not sticking at first rolling" situation too.

[@rockshot100]

@@vaderladyl Yes, even a very fast light sanding with extremely course sandpaper, does make a world of difference. This gives you the "TOOTH' for the primer and everything else to bond well. If this is a pantry shelf, or something like that, then a water based topcoat really does help. Very much worth the time and money.

[@holliejustice8353]

This is exactly what I was looking for! You explained this so well and I loved the tip about the primer as I would have thought I did something wrong when I start. You just gained a new subscriber. 🥰

[@sureyyaaslanova9925]

Me too. Iam going to paint my living room for grey, so I’ve been watching all morning all different video’s until I saw her video. Exactly what I am looking for

[@ericconnor8419]

If the paint is repelled you should spread it, wait ten minutes and then try again, the paint will become slightly thicker and more 'paste' like and will smear better (You can just keep rolling away but this gives you time for a cup of tea) When using a roller don't make the mistake I did - It turns out rollers have different textures. I used the same big one for the walls and it left everything a bit bobbbly, try and find a smoothish roller if possible. I had to go over everything with a big brush to make it actually flat.

[@sarat6787]

Looved this video! The setting, the lighting, the editing, the tips! 😍 can’t wait to see the bathroom ❤️

[@ThePhoenixx]

Thank you for mentioning that the primer appears to repel in the first coat!! No one mentions that 😭 I thought it wasn't working and I gave up. I'll make another attempt on my bookshelf now 💕

[@reedsimpson2353]

Due to not sanding I’d assume

[@theshortlong]

I came here to say the same thing! I've not seen that mentioned anywhere!

[@vaderladyl]

When that happens, you can always give it several more coats after one another, after you let each one dry in between coats.

[@bobbiedurham5010]

I'm going to paint several laminate shelves. Various sizes. It would be great to skip the sanding step! Thanks a bunch...

[@jennifermarie1163]

Thank you for showing the details of how the primer looks when applied to laminate! I was worried of it not being smooth/the same result as if it was applied to wood. Just what I needed!

[@amygoodman5389]

I just now ran into this video.. thanks for the tip!! I had a question though, would an acrylic paint stick ok or would it peel off

[@fannye.palacios1616]

Thanks for this video! Exactly the advice I was looking for and couldn't find in other videos. I plan to paint bookcases. The shelves will hold a lot of books that will slide in/out of the shelves. I have a big library of books. If I use latex paint, will the paint chip/flake over time as books are moved around? Or, is using the recommended primer the trick to avoid that? Or, should I use an oil-based paint?

[@813kengarcia]

Awesome video! I just bought a used motorized desk for my home office and have been struggling with how to change it to fit my style. I was going to delaminate it, but your video was brief and helpful. I just mentioned to my wife that we can repaint all of our Ikea bedroom furniture instead of buying new. She still wants the new stuff though, haha! But at least I'll get the desk that I really wanted.

[@kristinaingersoll6640]

Have you redone the desk yet? Would love to know how it worked out! We have a motorized desk as well that we are looking to give a new "look" to!

[@jennifero4949]

I’m painting bookshelves for my library, would you recommend latex paint? And if so do I need to add a sealing coat?

[@Missadgreene]

This is exciting because I have a lot of ikea bookcases that need a solution. Thank you!

[@johnnybravado1030]

Oil base primer is the best. 30yrs painter. Always light sand. Before and between coats. 3m sand pads. Paint doesn’t need sealer. The paint is the sealer. If it repels, it’s not sticking. It dried Over it and didn’t grab the finish.

[@AusyJo]

What grit sand paper?

[@REFRESHH]

It's important that BEFORE priming, you 'ungrease' your surface! That way the primer really sticks on the surface.

[@aracalbuto]

Does the final paint eventually wrap off if you have your arms on the desk for several hours a day?

[@REFRESHH]

@@aracalbuto If you only use the paint as final layer, then the chances are that it'll come off eventually. Try using 2-3 layers of transparent varnish as the finishing layers to have the surface scratch resistant.

[@jacquelinecrafford7274]

Thank you for your video, enjoyed it. I have a question. I have a dining room table...top laminate that I want to upscale and give a farmhouse style look, paint with wallnut wood...but the laminate itself has a few bubbles....what process would u say wld work best for this project? Wld appreciate your comment 😁

[@parker.100]

With a shellac based primer, will the furniture need to offgas somwhere? Is a respirator recommended? When I used shellac finish on a wood dresser for a staining project, the fumes made me quite sick, even when I moved the project outside.

I have look at so many videos on how to refinish furniture. All of them sanding is involved. The piece that I want to paint is an old table that I bought from target and it only cost me fifty dollars. After seeing this I will be doing it this way. Thanks for making this video.

[@gabriel001o]

Not sure but you did say any paint right? Does it need too wood paint specifically or littarelly any paint say like paint you'd put on your walls? (It feels like a stupid question 😅, but we also redoing our bedroom cupboards that have what I think is also vinyl, but feels weird)

[@leeriches8841]

Hello I’m wondering if you could help me, I loved your video and made so much sense. I’ve ordered a full pax wardrobe and I’ve gone with a grey and gold theme for my bedroom, so I’ll be doing the same with the wardrobe, would this method do great for painting the frames and doors of the pax wardrobe I assume? I’m not sure we’re I’ll be adding any gold yet, definitely some gold on the inside, I’m still looking for inspiration for how to bring the grey and gold together but the main thing is just the method of painting to give it that perfect finish you had in the video, to make it easier I was gonna do the painting before I build the wardrobe, so I’ve just got a peace to work on at a time and not a whole wardrobe painting at awkward angles etc haha. Also to add I haven’t bought any painting products yet, that’s we’re I’m stuck. The primer you suggested sounds promising! Thanks for your videos and thanks for your time 😇🙏.

[@Lia2222]

Wow that turned out great! Very smooth and flawless

[@marthafontaine9797]

Simple,easy to comprehend, precised...looked great,,,thank you for sharing.

[@She_Tried_It]

For such a small project, a quick once over with a manual piece of sandpaper would save all this rolling... maybe clean it with vinegar too. What will the uneven look in the primer do for your final coat? It looks lumpy...

[@amandaburrell4146]

How does this hold up after use? I'm considering painting the cabinets and built in furniture in my camper which is all laminate. I am concerned it will peel/chip from use and the moisture that comes with camper-life, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Also, how long do you let it cure before you apply another coat?

[@vaderladyl]

At least 24 hours in between coats and clear protective varnish on top.

[@HyperTriggerEx]

Just asking for a bit of advice. I’ve bought some IKEA inserts to go into a Kallax unit, it’s states on the website that they are fiberboard and coated in acrylic paint. Will this method work in repainting them or will another or easier method apply? Thanks :).

[@benfitzgerald8140]

I've tried painting a PAX wardrobe with and without sanding (120 grit), extending the drying times of the BIN primer an ensuring it's not too thick of a layer before painting it with colour but i'm losing my mind because after painting it using a Valspar water based furniture paint it just goes all alligator / crazied on me 😓.... I'm thinking after watching this, does BIN truly work with water based paints as it seems everyone has better results with latex. Do you maybe have any idea or experiences with this in painting any IKEA furniture?

[@jennifermizulski2227]

Thanks so much! If I'm painting a table top white, can I use the exact same method? Or should I do anything different to make sure that the table surface is not sticky?

[@heenaqadir5338]

Final step is to seal everything. Use a polycrylic, which is water based if you are using light colors or white, OR use a polyurethane which is more durable and oil based. Try using at least 2 coats. Give enough dry ti.e between each coat.

[@thngpham2]

Thank you for sharing this technique! Do you think this will work for lacquer furniture?

[@marleangreene6117]

Yes this works but if you want a smooth coat i lightly sand with 300 grit paper between primer coats just to smooth out any bumps, you can also do this between paint coats for a smooth finish

[@jonathandbeard]

Based on how the first coat of primer wasn’t covering well, and sort of pulling back, I believe you would get better adhesion if you simply sanded or used a gloss remover, like liquid sandpaper.
