will this paint on cabinets that is made of particle board?

you can paint it, but it will show whatever surface that the unpainted board has. if it is smooth and unpainted, I would put a primer on first. if it is the "chipped" board, you're going to have that same "chipped" surface. Good luck!

Give it a try in a hidden space. It worked for me. Don't forget the prep. It did a good job on the heavy cardboard stuff that served as mullions on my cabinet. Experiment. Good luck.

You can not stain particle board with a veneer surface. You can paint it. Just lightly sand with 200 or400 grit sandpaper with the grain just to ruff it up. and spray or brush on paint

I don't think it would be successful as the case is particle board with a grained material applied. The doors are probably paintable. You might try papering or some textured "faux" (fake) finish. I don't think you cheapen it by so doing.

Not really sure, but I'd imagine if you had the right kind of paint, you probably could...seems like you can paint anything these days. Seems like the crafty websites love to use spray paint for a lot of old furniture, but I don't know if you need a primer (this is assuming you're looking to paint the entire unit). Maybe Better Homes and Gardens, or some other DIY site may have some insight on painting particle board furniture. If you're actually only looking to paint designs on the piece, you might consider painting a little spot on the inside of the unit, or some other inconspicuous spot, to test it out first before committing.

I don't know, I just applied it over my oak bathroom cabinets after I lightly sanded them. They turned out really good. I think it would be worth a try. But it takes 3 coats and it has to dry at least a day in between coats, after the first coat you really can't tell. I applied it with a white sock, it was very easy.

My cabinets were wood but I believe it works on laminate if I remember looking at the directions and also the video.

I used it on cabinets that had been painted black and white. Thought id give it a try before doing extra steps! Didn't strip them or anything and this product worked wonderfully going right over the paint. Did four coats on the white and two on the black. Hope this helps!

I believe so! I used it on a painted particle board sliding closet door to keep kids out, so it will likely also stick to wood :)

Yes, but it takes a great deal of expertise to get a good match. Many finishes on production furniture are sprayed on with a colored pigment as opposed to stained and then sprayed with or coated with a clear finish. Cherry also darkens with age naturally, so you have to take that into consideration as well. If you how the existing cabinets were finished, it might make it easier to get a decent match.

I would lightly sand the present finish and apply a primer before painting. But yes it is made of wood and can be painted.

No, our furniture is made out of laminated particle board. It has no paint.

Yes! That's the beauty of it. Mine were white-wash stained cabinets initially. I used "000" steel wool pads to scuff the surface in the direction of the grain to remove any gloss and to clean them up (don't kill yourself sanding...the steel wool works great and gets into the crevices). The gel stain is like a paint...it stays on top of the surface...does not really sink into the wood anyway, so as long as you scuff it up slightly it will work fine. Go for it!

In my opinion no. The material of the wood probably wont hold the paint on there

I had shiny wood gloss stain (I can not remember exact) and it went on without sanding at all! I also had paint on one of my cabinets and it went on that as well! It is still on and still looking great after at least 2 months!

I would strip your cabinets first. If they are already painted they probably have at least 3 coats already. Using this product will add another 4 coats at least

Matthew, just paint your cabinets. I wish I had. You may have to sand, or use a chemical stripper to prep the surface first; the kit comes with a chemical deglazer that you use first, but it was a pain. Beyond that I can't see any difference in what's in the kit and what you can buy on the shelf of a Home Depot, although it comes with a can of this stuff you use to pre-age them for a specific look. The final step is a glaze that is AWFUL and hard to work with, esp if you are painting your cabinets white. I wish I had just bought a hand sander and semi gloss paint -- which I ended up doing anyway, but I could have saved a lot of time and money. Matthew, just paint your cabinets. I wish I had.

I built a cabinet for mine. Foam insulation board would be a good start and it's paintable
