Yes, I’d try a good bonding primer next time around, then paint over that.

Loooooove your site and skills!!! really, just so inspiring. I have an ikea book shelf with glass doors and I painted it using spray paint thinking it would be faster and really cover well. turns out it the paint flakes off! should have used primer. Do you suggest going over the spray paint with the primer you suggest in this project and repainting? thanks!!

I found this site, and followed the instructions and have transformed two old Malm dressers from tired ‘natural’ laminate into a really good looking white pieces for my son’s nursery. $20 in paints, and I have given thema totally new lease of life and saved a fortune.
thank you!
