How To Paint MDF Furniture 2024 | Drawer Makeover

- Can you paint MDF Furniture? YES!
In this DIY furniture makeover video, I show you how I refinish a set of MDF drawers. Using affordable supplies and a little elbow grease, you can transform your old, worn-out furniture into a beautiful piece that looks brand new. In this step-by-step tutorial, I try to cover everything from prepping the surface to applying the final coat of paint. Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or just getting started, this project is a great way to update your home decor without breaking the bank.
I won it for $5.50 in an online auction and didn't realise it was MDF until collecting it as the photos were not very clear. I spent around $15 on paint/primer/Poly and filler and $18 on new drawer runners. Much cheaper than buying a new set of drawers - which these basically turned into :)
I hope you enjoy the results of this furniture flip, I think I shocked myself!

Such a great transformation!
Thank you very much 😎
The additional trim added to the base really elevates this flip - very nice job!
Thank you, I was very happy with how the trim looked. Crazy that such a small detail can make such a big difference!
Awesome I love how it turned out
Me too! Thank you 🙏
I do a lot of MDF/composite pieces too. They will end up in the dump and are a great palette for fun finishes. Well done
I will certainly be flipping a few more, I really enjoyed working on this one. Thank you 😊
You did a great job!
Thank you very much 😎
Great job again 👍
Thanks Boss! :)
Beautiful colours love it

It's looking very beautifull again👍👏

Thank you, it could have gone either way!

Wow! Talk about a Cinderella.The change is amazing!
I think I surprised myself 😂 Thank you!
That looks fantastic. What a huge difference 👏👏👏🙏❣️
Thank you, I was super happy with the end result 👌🏼🙏
@@flipitnation and rightly so 🙏
The wood around the base was a nice touch. Good result 👍
I agree, it was certainly worth it! Thank you 😊
Looks terrific!
Good job, my friend 🙂
Lol you said “ garage and works like a treat “ I love it great job
Glad you got a giggle, I’m quickly learning that NZ has a lot of lingo that the rest of the world doesn’t use 😂😂
Really classy. Love it.
Thank you, appreciate that 👌🏼
On the one hand, I'm not a big fan of painted furniture, but on the other... it's MDF. Not a lot you could do with it. So this is a lovely transformation, and the trim boards on the bottom gave it real character. Nicely done. Kia kaha from Taranaki.
Wow! What a transformation. Good job, sir. 😊
Thank you very much, appreciate your kindness :)
Nice 👍
Cheers 😎
That has turned out really great
Thank you :)
Really sharp!
Aw congrats on the beautiful baby!! This cabinet turned out great!!
Nice!
Thank you 😊
JAMÁS IMAGINÉ QUE EL MUEBLE PUDIERA QUEDAR TAN HERMOSO... ... ME SUSCRIBO PARA CONTINUAR DISFRUTANDO DE SU EXCELENTE TRABAJO... GRACIAAAAAAAAS 💕❤️💯💕❤️💯💕❤️💯
Good job.
I was a little disappointed that you didn't stick with the sage green but that's trivial (I just prefer that shade of green 😊). You totally elevated this little dresser and after the makeover you wouldn't' even realize it's MDF under there. Awesome.
I too love the sage, it was the colour we painted our sons nursery but with the black it looked very minty rather than sage. I will use it on a future piece though, it’s a lovely colour 👌🏼
@@flipitnation Indeed!
Looks great! Baby wipes also work fantastic if you don't have a cloth
Great tip! Have plenty of those on hand at the moment! Thank you 😊
Hello again….giving it a new life for someone else to enjoy….I have a similar piece…made of wood…I gave it an industrial design….it turned out great….it’s in my shop…
Hey, awesome! How can I see it? Do you have an Instagram?
Super cute baby❤
I agree 😉 Thank you
Very impressive, I would have tossed it. Well Done ! ! ! Lesson learned. Thanks, Katie
Hey Cole hi from Auckland I have been flipping for 6yrs ! so you on Flipping & Upcycling Furniture page, great to connect 😊 I am toooo self conscious to do videos 😅
Hey! I have just subscribed to your channel and will have a watch, thank you! I've been dabbling in flipping for about a year but RUclips is still quite new for me, I think around 2 months. Really enjoying it though! Certainly was a bit self conscious at the start but I'm getting more comfortable :) Lovely to virtually meet you!
Amazing video very detailed thanks bro
I’m off to buy some new plastic rails that are broken inside my drawers , thanks Cole, lol! ❤
Happy to be of assistance 😉 Thank you for tuning in to my videos!!
Hermosa!!!
very good
Looks great! Have you ever tried to use a heat gun on stickers? Or even a blow dryer? Depends on the sticker, but most times heating that sticker adhesive up a bit makes it come off like a dream.
¡Me encanta!
💜
:)
Fab save on this one Cole! It's pretty rare to find a chest of drawers this narrow and tall - I'm sure it will sell like hot cakes.
MDF is a bad-boy in carpentry for sure; I've seen some really glamorous pieces made with this stuff absolutely ruined due to 'water blow-out'.
I wish that the manufacturers would seal in all of MDF surfaces (inside and out) to avoid it and hence - keep the item out of land fill for longer.
Nice
Is it the sanding dust from the MDF or the laminate (or both- I don’t suppose inhaling either is great for you 😝) that is so problematic?
Yes I don’t don’t think either are good but Formaldehyde is suspected of being a carcinogen, and MDF has some of the highest concentration of urea-formaldehyde adhesives out of all the engineered wood products that use it. Sand safe, wear a mask 😷 👌🏼
Wowww! Amazing transformation! Btw, do i need to seal amd prime new mdf furniture before painting it? I'm not digging the brown color of the new sideboard and would like to paint it white. Can i use dulux satinwood? Do i need to ronseal it afterwards?
10:15 ❤😂😊
Which nozzle are you using for your pant gun?
What's the Wagner Kiwi substitute we can get from Bunnings. I am in chch and we don't get the 5000 series in NZ. and what paints are you using?
Hey there, Wagner W350 is the gun I am using in my videos and I got it from @mitre10nz for around 160NZD - I am sure they sell it or a similar model at @bunningswarehouse This isn't the cheapest or the most expensive but I highly rate it. I use Dulux Wash and Wear low sheen on most of my projects. Hope that helps, cheers
@@flipitnation awesome !! I iust started flipping as a hobby and i think i have seen a few of your pieces on sale in marketplace. Love your work. I use the fusion mineral paints but keen to try some other paints.
I am yet to try the mineral paints but would like to. Flipping is a great hobby, very addictive! The is a great furniture group on Facebook called Flipping & Upcycling Furniture New Zealand incase you haven’t joined that yet :)
💚💚💚
Heat gun is the best tool to remove stickers
Haven't seen "Crack a Woody" for years lol
I should have tried harder to get it off in one piece!
What primer and polyurethane do you recommend
Can you use. Chalk paint on top of the primer on that
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
