Why do you use a melamine paint for the bathroom?
Melamine paint is very expensive as you know and they do come in colors. You don't have to use Melamine and oil based paint is just as good (although a little smelly.) Melamine smells terrible anyway. Oil based should be used (be sure if there is any paint in your bathroom already that it's oil based and not latex. If latex, then you have some sanding to do. You sand to rough up the surface. It's also good to put a white primer on the walls after sanding so you oil base will stay on properly. Oil base and Melamine are used because of the dampness of the bathroom and usually this is also used in kitchens. My husband only paints the tub surround with Melamine and the rest of the white woodwork with oil based paint. Marcy

While painting your countertop with melamine paint you accidentally spashed on a wood pillar and am having difficulty removing it?
Melamine is a urethane reinforced oil-based paint. You will have to use a commercial stripper. Your best bet is to read on your particular brand of paint's label for clean-up methods and see what they recommend. Varsol has been recommended for removing melamine paint. There are several other brands available. Be sure to ask for a stripper for melamine paint and be sure to tell them you are removing it from wood. Be advised that the wood finish may be damaged and will require refinishing. If the area is not too conspicuous, you may be able to accomplish this with a small spot treatment. Worst case, you'll have to refinish the entire pillar.

How can you paint melamine cupboards to look like wood?
Painting melamine can be a little challenging but it is possible. You will need to sand the table lightly using a fine grit sandpaper in order for the paint to adhere, then you will need to prime it either using an oil based primer or a primer made especially for melamine. Once it is primed and dry, you can paint it using melamine paint.

I wouldn't. The surface will never stand up to regular kitchen work. Better to buy a sheet of arborite, formica or something and glue it on.
