Also, what kind of paint do you use on laminate furniture?

Latex paint is recommended for laminate surface painting projects because of its durability and smooth finish. Try ProClassic Interior Acrylic Latex Enamel for lighter colors, and All Surface Latex Enamel Base for deeper hues.

Also, can you paint over laminate furniture? You can sand, prime and paint laminate as if it were a solid wood piece of furniture!
