Painting melamine can be a little challenging but it is possible. You will need to sand the table lightly using a fine grit sandpaper in order for the paint to adhere, then you will need to prime it either using an oil based primer or a primer made especially for melamine. Once it is primed and dry, you can paint it using melamine paint.

∙ 16y agoMelamine is actually a good surface to work on. There is a faux technique known as "Faux Bois" which is wood-graining. You can buy tools to get this affect but education about "how to" would be a good start. People such as myself, do nothing else but specialize in faux techniques. If you're creative and have patience you're in the running as having done a successful job. If your not, consult a decorative artist/faux finisher to get it done right .

It's very easy to buy a sheet of laminate and fit it . Many stores sell 2x 4 sheets now.
