Please, can you clarify if you lightly sand Ikea laminate before applying adhesives promotor or just spray the adhesive onto the furniture as it came from the shop floor? Thanks so much for your time.
Hi Oli, no, as I state at the start, you can not sand laminate. This is what the adhesive promotor does, create something for the paint to stick to. Hi Kimberly, handy tips! I like your style.

Clean your Ikea piece with degreaser to remove any dirt and grime. Lightly sand your piece with a grit sandpaper. You can sand by hand, or with an electrical sander. I love using this Ryobi cordless sander. Lightly sanding keys the surface and allows your primer and paint to get better adhesion. Wipe away and dust before priming. The secret to getting paint to stick to Ikea laminate furniture is primer! A primer will help your paint bond to the piece of furniture. It will also reduce chipping and peeling.
Make sure to use any oil-based primers in a well-ventilated room. I prefer a durable finish for my painted pieces of furniture. I recommend a satin or eggshell finish paint as these paints require no sealer. You can use chalk paint on your piece. However, this will need to be sealed with wax or varnish when dry. Apply two coats of your prefered topcoat, and allow the paint to dry completely between coats. I recommend using a roller to apply your paint to avoid harsh brush marks.
You can use a brush on intricate areas of your piece. Although paint is touch dry within a few hours, it needs a few days for the paint to cure. Kind of like nail polish, have you ever painted your nails and they smudge even though you thought they were dry? Well, the same is for paint. Allow a week or so before using your piece of furniture, especially if it is a table or in a high traffic area in your home.
