Yes! You can chalk paint over veneer furniture. But you need to make sure to prime. Veneer can be a very smooth surface, so chalk paint alone will probably scratch off.
Sand the veneer surface again after the primer has dried thoroughly after painting it with primer. Sanding the surface more often will make it more smooth and uniform.
Pour some of the latex paint into a paint tray. Paint the entire dresser with a paintbrush, following the grain of the veneer. Allow the paint to dry completely, then apply a second coat if the primer is still visible beneath the paint.
–You can use chalk paint on any surface. It adheres to almost anything, and I've painted laminate, particle board, solid wood, leather, old and new furniture alike. It's held up beautifully.
Veneer is a decorative wood layer that's overlaid on a different surface. Veneer can be primed, painted, stained, and treated just like any other wood surface. Painting veneer surfaces is a great way to spruce up furniture, make older pieces look newer, or make an original piece match a new décor scheme.
If the veneer is in good condition and isn't chipping… you can sand, prime, and paint like you would any piece of furniture.
If your chalk paint isn't sticking - and your furniture looks like it is repelling the paint - take these steps! Step 1: Wipe off any wet paint in the areas where it isn't sticking. Don't let it dry and then try to add more. If you can intervene and wipe off as much of the wet paint as possible, that's the best!
A sure way to recognize wood laminate is when the grain does NOT follow through your piece. Wood Veneer is a sheet or thin layer of 'quality-natural-hardwood' that is adhered to a lesser quality wood surface. Wood Veneers give the impression of a more desired quality wood without being as costly.
Latex paint is recommended for laminate surface painting projects because of its durability and smooth finish.

The Annie Sloan Chalk Paint adheres well to laminate surfaces. As long as I clean my piece, I can apply the paint. The laminate top is once again the best choice.
When chalk paint isn't properly protected and sealed it can chip and scratch pretty easily.
Why Is My Chalk Paint Coming Off When I Apply Wax? Some things lead to peeling: You missed the chance to clean your surface well, it must have something repelling the paint, or it doesn't adhere to the paint precisely.
Laminate: Given their durability, laminates are the better choice for kitchen cabinets. Also, this material is the best choice for wardrobes and other frequently used furniture. Veneer: For furniture that you intend to use as statement pieces or as focal points, veneers are preferable.
They're still very durable.
Just because veneer furniture isn't completely made up of solid wood, doesn't mean it's not durable. Because veneer furniture is not prone to the same aging effects as solid wood, such as splitting or warping, wood veneer furniture will often outlast solid wood furniture by years.
First, laminate can be painted over. It's not difficult (at all), you just need to do it right. I'll go into the how to paint laminate in a minute. Second, laminate is more durable than wood when it comes to scratches and dings.
People often ask us if you can “roll” Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan onto your piece. The answer is yes, you absolutely can! In this quick post, I'll show you how to use a velour roller and Annie Sloan's flat brush to create a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Chalk Paint® can transform old concrete and wooden floors, even if they're varnished. Just apply two or three coats of Chalk Paint® and finish with Chalk Paint® Lacquer for durability.
You can even whitewash faux wood, if you do the proper amount of preparation. Whitewashing faux wood is simple, whether you are lightening an entire room or one small piece of furniture.
Yes You Can Paint Laminate! What is laminate, you ask? It can basically be any type of furniture, cabinets, or wood-like product that is made by attaching a thin layer of printed plastic (sometimes called Melamine or Thermofoil) to a substrate of plywood or particle board.
Therefore, after you and your dentist choose the color for your veneers and they are custom-crafted to your specifications, the porcelain will never change color. That is one of the reasons why most cosmetic dentists recommend veneers rather than dental bonding to patients who want to make over their smile.
