Painting Ikea Furniture

I actually have some laminate furniture I want to color sooner or later so I’m maintaining this in mind. I especially love the doors and the hinges. And the glass knobs undoubtedly brings it all together. It is STIX and thus far has caught to anything I even have used it on and has been a great surface to accept paint.

I get mine from my Benjamin Moore supplier. It took three coats of paint to get excellent protection. The finest outcomes require multiple coats and a fair period of time.

When the primer had dried, it was time to begin portray the IKEA Kallax. Once I completed sanding, I might have wiped off the mud and dove proper in with the Zinsser B-I-N, however I wanted to take it one step additional. Shellac has the flexibility to stay to surfaces that different paints and primers would simply flake off of. If you’ve ever tried to paint a piece of IKEA furnishings – the laminate or the painted type – then you understand where I’m coming from.

If you want to paint with out making a multitude, have all your provides ready to go earlier than you get began. Move any furnishings or planters away from the portray space so that you don’t get paint on them.

If you do resolve to try, it does take time to treatment… about two weeks. After that point, if you sanded the surface and cleaned it well before staining, you gained’t even be capable of scratch it off the stain should you try. Hi Sheena – You can stain over the grey paint with the Polyshades stain/poly mix, but not with regular wood stain. Hi ,we have a black stained coffee table which is not very old but on shut inspection it looks like the stain hasn’t penetrated the grain in some spots. It is simply every cleaned with plain water . My query is can I stain over the top of the prevailing stain and what preparation wouldn’t it want ?
