High-quality paints and varnishes for plastic: what you need to know
With plastic and laminate, you have a wider choice of colour shades than with wood. Nevertheless, it can happen that the colours no longer match the furnishings or have aged unsightly. That's where our plastic colours come in
What distinguishes plastic paint?
With our plastic paint you can easily paint plastic and also laminate. Choose between three gloss levels: matt, satin and gloss. The powdery chalk paints can also be used for painting decorative items.
Sanding is not necessary. On exposed surfaces, such as flooring, you simply use a primer to increase the durability of the paint. You can also matt high-gloss surfaces with a sanding pad to improve adhesion to the substrate.

When is plastic paint used?
It is hard to imagine everyday life without plastic, PVC and laminate. However, it often happens that these very surfaces simply no longer look nice over time. Since plastics are materials that are not particularly environmentally friendly even during their production, it is definitely sustainable to extend their lifespan with a new coat of paint. Maybe it's your windows, your best friend's foiled kitchen or your parents' plastic front door. Nevertheless, you find it difficult to replace the respective piece, as this would mean a large purchase.
That's where our plastic paints come in, because they work on almost all plastic surfaces. Use them to paint your plastic window or your laminate floor.
You can also use them to give yellowed doors or other surfaces with an outdated decor a fresh coat of paint. The preparation is easier than on real wood

The right synthetic paint for veneered furniture
Nowadays, real wood furniture has become rather rare, many manufacturers now resort to veneer.
Contrary to popular belief, however, veneer is not plastic, but thin sheets of wood. These are glued onto chipboard and then lacquered.
Nevertheless, even these pieces of furniture can use a change now and then, because they often look far too massive and clunky in the room to fit into a modern interior.
Fortunately, our chalk paints can be easily painted on veneer. They give your furniture an individual, interesting look. With its silk matt look, chalk paint on veneer creates a noble and elegant effect.
Choose from our silk matt varnishes such as MissPompadour Eggshell Varnish, Mylands Wood & Metal Eggshell and Painting the Past Eggshell. These stable varnishes are particularly suitable for veneered kitchens or well-used living room furniture.
If you want to add a wax finish to your painted surface, use one of the matt varnishes, provided the furniture is not subject to wear and tear

Plastic paint for PVC & laminate floors

We generally recommend the silk matt varnishes. These are more stable on heavily loaded surfaces and you achieve a smooth result with them. You will see that painting laminate is really fun and the change in the room will be incredible.
However, you should always seal floor surfaces after the final coat.
You can also paint your entrance floor with our plastic paints. If you also want to change your heavily used hallway walls, simply use our hard-wearing & washable wall paints.

Painting plastic: a few tips for application
Plastic is a really good substrate for your painting projects. However, there are a few points to consider.
Professional pre-treatment for plastic & laminate
Plastic and laminate usually have a smooth surface on which it is difficult to imagine painting.
Therefore, the right preparation is also important for plastics.
First clean the surfaces with a non-greasy cleaning agent, such as our To Clean.
It is important that you then wipe with clean water and dry the surface well before painting.
Finally, prime the smooth surface with To Bond - MissPompadour Primer.
Then you can start with your chosen colour!

Thebest product for this is To Seal - MissPompadour Topcoat. If the floor is in an area that is exposed to moisture, such as the kitchen, use Painting the Past Topcoat. This will tolerate the moisture better and can protect your floor well.
