Watch this before you paint Laminate - How to paint laminate.

Do you need to sand laminate before you paint it? Here I test different ways of painting laminate including sanding it first. On one piece of laminate I sanded using 120 and 220 grit sand paper. On the other piece I did not sand. I put them all to the test scratching it with my fingernail and a screwdriver. I show all the results and how it held up in the end. The top coat of paint I used is an oil enriched enamel make for cabinets and furniture. After this test I thinks it's a good idea to sand your laminate before painting it. It will take longer but over time it will be more durable and save you time and energy in the future. I have painted many laminate cabinets in my house.

However, after my scratch test I would recommend sanding first if you want the paint to hold up longer. Thanks for watching. I hope it was helpful!! Drew
