Since laminate isn t real wood and won t absorb anything it s just what you need.

What does laminate furniture look like.

To paint anything look like real wood. This gives the furniture piece a higher quality appearance than laminate which can make the piece seem high end when compared to laminate. Sure i could buy a colour of the primer to be close to my acrylic but i want to do more furniture for a hobby and maybe sell them with different colours and don t want to have to get a primer as close to that colour each time. Let s get started time to gather your materials.

One difference between laminate furniture and solid wood is the edges of laminate furniture are much sharper and straighter almost plastic looking. Solid wood edges are slightly rounded so you want to simulate this look by running your sander along the edges like so. Veneer furniture uses a thin layer of real wood unlike laminate which is just made to look like wood. Pretty soon you will want to paint all kinds of things to look like wood.

I like being able to have a bit of washed look in areas. Let s start with the products. I use modern masters products for this technique they are high quality and the products are concentrated so i end up using less.
