How hard would it be to paint something that is black and laminate to a lighter color?

🤔🤔 I don’t know.

Surely it’ll work if the laminated plastic is a lighter/transparent colour

As a painter and handyman, my only piece of advice is to make sure you use a really good brush.

I am not sure how you to do it with paint and laminates. Probably if you'll use resin to laminate then sand it with a very fine grit.. this would be easy if you have the tools

@zoiera yea Ive been looking at vids on youtube. They are just sanding, priming and painting, then sealing. I'm gonna try it

@Keepitsimple I love it! you did really good.
I found someone nearby on marketplace with a decent black dresser, though I dont want black. I guess a good sanding and good primer should do the job. If he has a nightstand too it'd be perfect

@iamnikki you don’t even have to sand or prime. Honest! I did 3 coats of chalk paint and 2 with a matte finish and changed the hardware. It’s so easy! I’m excited for you!
