How to spray paint melamine furniture
-
The first step in painting melamine furniture is to disassemble the doors and remove the drawers, so that there is free space and we can paint each part properly.
-
We will sand and clean the drawers and the body of the furniture after disassembling it in order to help the paint adhere better.
-
After sanding all the melamine, we will clean the furniture to remove the dust particles created by the sandpaper.
-
When we have cleaned the surface of the furniture we will begin to paint with the spray . It is important to shake the spray can well for one minute if it is your first time using it. We will place the spray can at least 30 centimeters from the surface so that no imperfections are created during painting.
-
It takes 10 minutes for the first layer to partially dry after it has been applied.
-
As soon as it has dried for 10 minutes, you should avoid touching it with your fingers. However, applying a second coat won’t cause any problems.
-
Once the second coat of paint has been applied, let the furniture dry for 15 minutes, which is how long it takes for it to completely dry.
