How to paint melamine cabinetry?

Hi All, 

I’m wanting to change the look of my kitchen colours to white. My kitchen cupboards are melamine. Is this possible & what do I need to buy?

Hi @LivFleming,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

I'd suggest checking out the Dulux Renovations Range of paints. This range is specifically designed for use on surfaces that are traditionally difficult to paint, like melamine, laminate, and tiles. It provides a durable, scratch-resistant finish, ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens.

You'll need to use the Dulux 1L Renovation Range Primer along with your choice of paint from the same range. This UNi-PRO 100mm You Can Do It Gloss And Low Sheen Mini Roller Kit is a good option for a roller. You'll also need some sugar soap, painter's tape and some paintbrushes.

Check out How to Paint Laminate Kitchen Cabinets for all the steps you'll need to follow to achieve a fantastic finish.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Hi @LivFleming,

Just thought I'd add to Jacob's reply that you can see many examples of Bunnings Workshop community members who have used the Dulux Renovation Range in our collection of 20 kitchens transformed with paint. I'm sure you'll find the projects inspiring. 

We look forward to seeing what you can achieve.
