Pour the paint into a paint tray. Cover the paint roller with paint. Paint the laminate using up and down stokes. Apply 1-2 more coats of paint. Leave the paint to dry for 1 week.
Place your hands on either side of the paint can and carefully lift the tin over your paint tray. Gently tip the container and fill the bottom of the tray with 1 inch (2.5cm) of paint. Place the lid back onto the paint can to keep the paint fresh. Purchase a paint tray at a hardware store or paint store. Place the roller into the paint so that it sits flat in the tray. Roll it back and forth in the tray until the roller is evenly covered in paint. Tap the handle on the side of the tray to remove any dripping paint from the roller. Start painting at the top of your surface and work your way down to the bottom, this will help to stop any drips from causing bumps in your paint work. Use up and down strokes to cover the area with a thin coating of paint. Maintain a consistent pressure as your move the roller up and down the area. Paint over the areas you have already painted using a brush. Leave the paint to dry for 24 hours before applying further coats. Try to keep dust away from the wet surface as the paint is drying. Once the first coat of paint is completely dry, apply a further coat of paint using the same method as listed above. Let this dry for 24 hours before touching the paint. If the surface isn't yet completely covered or isn't as even as you would like, repeat the process of applying another coat of paint. Don't move the laminate or place anything onto the painted surface for at least a week. This will give the paint a chance to cure properly. Placing pressure on the paint after a few days could put marks or dents in your paint-work.
