Varnish for Plastic

Premium paints for Plastic: Everything You Need to Know

What Makes Our Plastic Paint So Special?

Our plastic paint allows you to easily paint plastic and laminate. Choose from three finishes: matt, satin matt, and gloss. Our powdery chalk paints can also be used for decorating items.
Sanding isn't necessary. For high-traffic areas, such as flooring, simply use a primer to increase the paint's durability. However, for high-gloss surfaces, you can also lightly mattify them with a sanding pad to improve adhesion.

Which Plastics Can You Paint?

Whether you're applying chalk paint to foil, painting your PVC or laminate flooring, or your plastic windows need a new shade — simply choose a beautiful colour from our range of plastic paints. Then clean and paint!

When to Use Plastic Paint

Plastic, PVC, and laminate are ubiquitous in modern everyday life. However, these surfaces often lose their appeal over time. Since plastics are materials that aren't particularly eco-friendly to produce, it's definitely a sustainable choice to extend their lifespan with a fresh coat of paint. Perhaps it's your windows, your best friend's foiled kitchen cabinets, or your parents' plastic front door. Yet, replacing these items can be a daunting prospect due to the significant cost.

That's exactly where our plastic paints come in, as they work on almost all plastic surfaces. Use them to paint your plastic windows or refresh your laminate flooring. You can also give yellowed doors or other surfaces with outdated decor a fresh new look. The preparation is easier than for real wood.

Choosing the Perfect Paint for Plastic & Veneer

If you want to paint your plastic doors, the paint should be durable and long-lasting, as doors are frequently and heavily used. Similarly, when painting your plastic windows, the paint needs to be straightforward to apply, stable, and have good adhesion. We'll explain which plastic paints are best suited for your projects, meeting your requirements for both interior and exterior use, and delivering the most beautiful results.

Which MissPompadour Paint is Suitable for Plastic?

We recommend our softly satin matt MissPompadour all-rounder Easy Eggshell! It's robust and durable, easy to clean, and available in over 100 shades – so you're sure to find the perfect colour for your project.

The Right Paint for Outdoor Plastic

If you have old plastic garden furniture, simply use our plastic paints to refresh it.
For outdoor plastic, in addition to our Balkon & Garten paint, the MissPompadour Easy Eggshell! is wonderfully suitable.
With a fresh coat, you'll be perfectly prepared for the next garden season.

The Right Paint for Veneered Furniture

Nowadays, solid wood furniture is becoming rarer, with many manufacturers opting for veneer.
Contrary to popular belief, veneer isn't plastic; it consists of thin wooden sheets. These are glued onto chipboard and then painted.
However, these furniture pieces can sometimes benefit from a change, as they often appear too bulky and cumbersome to fit into a modern interior.
Fortunately, our paints can easily be applied to veneer. They give your furniture a unique, appealing look. For this, too, choose a MissPompadour Easy Eggshell! These stable paints are particularly suitable for veneered kitchens or well-used living room furniture. Its satin matt finish creates a sophisticated and elegant effect on veneer. You can further enhance your painted surface with wax, provided the furniture isn't subject to heavy wear.

Plastic Paint for PVC- & Laminate Flooring

You can not only paint PVC with our colours but also use them as laminate paint.
We generally recommend our satin matt paints for this. They are more stable on heavily trafficked areas and will give you a smooth finish. You'll find painting laminate surprisingly enjoyable, and the transformation of your room will be incredible.
However, you should always seal floor surfaces after the final coat.
You can also paint your hallway floor with our plastic paints. If you also want to transform your high-traffic hallway walls, simply use our durable & washable wall paints for those.

Painting Plastic: Our Top Tips

Plastic is a wonderfully forgiving surface for your painting projects. However, there are a few points to consider.

Professional Preparation for Plastic & Laminate

Plastic and laminate typically have smooth surfaces, making it hard to imagine painting them. That's why proper preparation is crucial for plastics too.
First, clean the surfaces with a non-greasy cleaner, such as our To Clean.
It's important to wipe them down with clear water afterwards and ensure the surface is thoroughly dry before painting.
Finally, prime the smooth surface with To Bond & Block — MissPompadour primer.
After that, you're ready to start painting with your chosen colour!

The Right Topcoat for Laminate Paint

If you've painted your floor with our laminate paint, you should seal it.
The best product for this is To Seal — MissPompadour topcoat. This topcoat strengthens your paint and makes it more durable. It's splash-resistant. However, please note that water-based paints and topcoats can be damaged by standing water.
