Everyone knows buying new furniture can cost you a pretty penny. And most homes nowadays have old laminates, from laminated floors to laminated furnitures. Here are 3 easy steps to save you a whole lot of money when sprucing up your old laminates!
Give Your Old Laminates A New, Fresh Look in 3 Easy Steps!
Step 1.
Laminated surfaces are always glossy and have a nonstick finish, so sanding is definitely not an option! Use a primer paint as a base coat. The primer will stick to the old laminate surface and create a texture that your top coat can stick to easily.

Step 2.
Once the primer has dried, pick your paint color of choice. Use an angled paint brush or baby roller. 
Step 3.
Once the paint has dried, you can seal it with a top coat or a protective coat. Use a Polycrylic for durability. Apply at least two coats!
