Re: How to clean or paint vanity benchtop?

Hello @hopelesscarol 

 

The good news is that if your vanity top is made of a laminate material then it is possible to paint its surface using the Dulux Renovation Range. However, if it is an acrylic surface, I'm afraid it can't be painted. Looking at the photo you posted it appears to be a laminate surface.

 

The general steps are to clean and prepare the surface, remove all of the old silicone seals and mask the edge of wall to prevent overpainting. Apply the primer and let it cure before applying the topcoat. The final coat will be the clear coat.

 

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to paint benchtops. (the techniques used are applicable to your vanity top)

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
