IKEA Laminate Paint Prep - Don't Skip This

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can actually paint IKEA laminate furniture — the answer is yes… but the prep matters. In this video, I’m walking through how to properly prep laminate for paint so you get a smooth, durable finish that actually lasts. IKEA pieces are a great starting point, but those slick surfaces need the right approach to get paint to adhere properly. I’ll show you how I clean, scuff sand, and use a bonding primer (like STIX) to create a strong base before painting — because skipping these steps is usually where things go wrong. This is part of a full furniture makeover, but these prep steps apply to any laminate surface you’re planning to paint — whether you’re flipping furniture or just updating something you already have. 👀 Full Makeover video:    • I Made a Laminate IKEA Dresser Look Like W...   🧼 Cleaning & Prep • Fusion TSP Alternative: https://shop.fusionmineralpaint.ca/pr... 🪵 Sanding • 220 Grit Hand Sanding Sheets: https://amzn.to/4pLoT1l • Sanding Sponge: https://amzn.to/40ip62j 🧴 Primer • STIX Bonding Primer: https://amzn.to/3WVyEhJ 🖌️ Application • Yellow Frog Tape: https://amzn.to/4nqyudP\ • Foam Brush Set: https://amzn.to/4eAS0k4 👉 Shop all my curated tools & supplies: https://maydforyou.ca/product-recomme...
