Laminate is sort of a plastic coating. I had a cabinet door once that the entire laminate coating peeled off. The wood underneath is cheap MDF. You can’t sand it smooth or paint it to cover up the glued wood chips.
You are right, the paint could chip off, and peel off it you put heavy coats on it. The key is to get a very thin flat coat (DIY chalky paint primer in this case) After that, the next couple of coats will stick to the primer coat.
I truly hope that helps Naomi.
Thanks for the great questions!

Sheryl,
I’m sorry that you were confused about me being sponsored by Gorilla Tape. I was not. When I choose a product I like, I photograph it so my friends can see which product I used.
What kind of proper edge would you have put in such a small area as this? It was narrow, and the tape worked. Had I had more room I would have used some small trim.
I know from experience that my DIY chalky paint primer is a great base coat no matter the project. It never failed me. just sayin . . . . 🙂
Thanks so much for being a friend of MRL! I appreciate you sticking around.
