How to Paint Laminates

While it is not recommended to paint on laminates, the following system could work.

Step 1. Sand your laminates with 320 grit water emery paper. Make sure you remove all gloss on the laminate. You can use the following product for sanding : Matador 991A Softflex Waterproof Emery Sheets - Buy Online in India (paintnhardware.com)

Step 2. After sanding and wiping off excess dust, apply MRF Universal Primer Grey on the laminate with the recommended system. Here is the link for universal primer grey : MRF Universal Primer - Buy Online in India (paintnhardware.com)

Step 3. Allow the primer to cure for 6-8 hours. Apply 2 coats Asian Paints Enamel with the recommended system over the primer. 

Kindly remember that the above is only experimental and it is always better to test a small patch before you begin your project, as every laminate could be different and could react differently to the paint.
