Laminate cabinets are a popular choice for many homeowners because they are durable and easy to care for. However, laminate cabinets can also be difficult to refinish because the surface is not as smooth as wood. If you are considering refinishing your laminate cabinets, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

First, you will need to sand the surface of the cabinets to rough up the finish so that the paint will adhere better. Second, use a primer designed for laminate surfaces before painting. Finally, don’t forget to seal the painted cabinets with a clear coat to protect them from wear and tear.
