Is it worth painting laminate kitchen cupboards?

[tashstewy-2219]

I’m wondering what your thoughts are on laminate painting? I can afford new cupboards but am desperate for a refresh in my kitchen. I’m worried I’ll buy all the products all for it to look streaky or chip, is it a waste of time?

Hi @tashstewy-2219,

As @Jason has mentioned, many of our members have successfully completed the transformation of their cabinetry and benchtops with laminate paints. The Dulux Renovation range is a favourite, and as long as you follow the application instructions, you won't get a streaky finish. The laminate primer and correct preparation ensure that you'll achieve a durable finish that is resistant to chipping. As with any painted product, it is best to avoid knocking it with hard and sharp objects.

As a quick refresh for tired cabinetry, I trust you'll be impressed with the results.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
