Hi guys, I want to paint / refresh old kitchen laminate cabinets, how easy is this?  More importantly, how does it look when finished? and how many coats are required?

Hello @Dogs2016 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about painting your kitchen cupboards.

Painting your laminate kitchen cupboards is a straightforward step-by-step process. If you wish to see what the finish looks like, I suggest visiting your local store and having a look at the Dulux Renovation Range sample board. You'll get a very good idea of what the paint will look like once applied to the laminate surface.

In regards to the number of topcoats, two is often applied to the surface of the cabinets.
