Painting Laminate
RayB:
Welp, I thought sanding down laminate would be enough to help paint adhere to it, but noooooo. It scratches right off. (I used an acrylic latex. Not a good choice, I know, but it was the only black satin finish I could find).
So what kind of paint/primer works best on laminate?
RayB:
OK I figured this was a lame thread, then it occurred to me this isn't anything special to arcade games. Surely there is info out there! So I found this: http://magazines.ivillage.com/countryliving/decorate/hbexpert/qas/0,,622481_649109,00.html
I basically did everything they suggest (even the paint they suggest is what I'm using!) except they say to wait 24 to 48 hrs. So, in 2 days I'll post what my results were. But I have a feeling the paint will still scratch off real easy. :-[
DrewKaree:
Try wiping the laminate down with some mineral spirits or acetone before painting. Dunno if it'll work, but maybe it'll help with adhesion. I'd try the acetone.

Here's how you paint over laminate on a cab:
1) peel laminate off of cab
2) sand wooden surface of cab
3) paint wood!
-Or is there some reason you need the laminate?

I painted the laminate on my Dynamo Cab conversion and haven't had any problems with it.
