How to paint laminated chipboard yourself

Chipboard is an inexpensive material, but still not practical enough if it does not have additional finishes. Products made of chipboard vary greatly. In most cases, the material is used to make furniture. A laminated board is used for this purpose. Unfortunately, the laminate wears out over time. How to restore chipboard slabs to their former practicality?

1. Eliminate the remaining laminated layer

The easiest way to update the chipboard panels is to apply paint. But you should immediately take into account that paint compositions cannot be applied directly to the laminate layer. For this reason, all remaining melamine resin on the chipboard surface must be disposed of.

It is usually pointless to use ordinary sandpaper, since it will not be able to clean the plate anyway. Therefore, you will need a grinder. The main thing is that the owner should be extremely careful when handling it. Otherwise, the stove may be damaged.

2. Preparation of the chipboard panel for painting

Before applying the paint, the sanded slab must be prepared. It is cleaned of dust, if necessary, additional grout is carried out in some places. Now you will need just the sandpaper, because the main laminate layer has been eliminated. There may be greasy footprints somewhere. They are also disposed of using cotton wool or a sponge soaked in a solvent.

Antiseptic treatment is sometimes useful. You should not do without it if you plan to use chipboard in rooms that are characterized by high humidity. Finally, the material is covered with a primer and waited for it to dry completely.

3. Treatment of the chipboard panel with paint

In principle, when painting chipboard, you can often do without a brush. It is enough to use only a roller. A tool with a velour skin is best suited. The stove is painted at least twice. Each layer is rubbed very intensively. The paint is applied to a slab laid horizontally. Therefore, it is first treated twice on one side, and after complete drying, it is turned over and painted again.

4. Protection of the ends and sides of the chipboard

It is not necessary to apply paint to the edges. Especially if they are still invisible during the operation of chipboard panels. If the material is used to assemble cabinet furniture, it is better to glue an edge tape to the ends. It looks interesting in itself and provides excellent protection from damage, moisture and other negative influences.
