Painting Ikea furniture??

[Nimme]

I have a "lovely" dark brown Billy bookcase with glass doors. I was thinking of revamping it. Has anyone ever painted one of these - and with what results?

bumping this into rush hour

What's it made of?

You can get special paint for painting kitchen cabinets - that, afaik, doesn't require much by way of sanding down to key it. I guess that would work if it's veneer.

Blimmin' faffy to paint round glass doors - get some masking tape.

It's good veneer/plastic finish so sanding etc not an option. Would need to slap paint on so to speak - and pray it doesn't slide right off. Do you know of any paint?

Have had this sitting in cellar for months and need something for storing glue, glitter etc - that is well within my eyesight!!

Don't know if it really works but think you can get special all surface primer. We've got some Billy's too so can you let us know !

You can get a primer for this - called ESP (I think) - from B&Q for sure and probably everywhere else.

is this of any use?
