I had to share my simple tutorial with you on how to spray paint countertops.
Can you spray paint formica countertops.
Open the windows for proper ventilation.
Clean and sand prime and paint.
If you have formica countertops and are looking to paint them there are several types of paint that you can use.
Shake the spray primer can for one minute.
Once you ve selected the type and color of paint you wish to use measure the surface area of your formica countertops and take the measurements to a paint store or home improvement center to acquire the necessary amount of paint to complete the job.
If that is a straight piece of countertop you can change it out by looking at the in stock pieces of counter top available at places like menards home depot and lowes.
The procedure for painting countertops is similar.
Once you have your paint apply 2 coats of a primer which will help the paint adhere to the countertops.
Depending on your preference you may prefer to use either oil or water based paints.
As long as you prep patiently and properly starting with a bonding primer to aid paint in adhering to the slick nonporous surface of the formica you can achieve professional results.
As long as you have properly prepared and primed the countertop either type of paint will work equally well.
Hold the spray can 10 to 15 inches away from the countertop surface.
Most laminate or formica countertops can be painted easily if you want to give them a fresh new look.
