Can I paint over an Ikea tabletop and keep the texture?

Can I paint over an Ikea tabletop and keep the texture?

Hey!

 

I recently bought the IKEA DOCKSTA tabletop, with plans to DIY a dining table with a separate leg that I plan to attach the tabletop to. I initially wanted to re-laminate the tabletop but realised that it might be easier to just paint over the white tabletop. I would like to paint the tabletop a deep green colour like the reference below:

Is this possible while keeping the texture of the DOCKSTA table? I'm worried about the durability of the paint, especially if we are going to be using the table a lot for meals and hosting etc.

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Ken (@kkenyounot)

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. We're pleased to have you join us and trust you'll get loads of help and inspiration for all your projects around the house and garden from our members.

 

Unfortunately our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. experts are unlikely to be able to help with this one - your question is best directed to the table's manufacturer. 

 

Thanks,

 

Jason
