Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jan 19, 2016 7:02 pm Hey guys, My original selection for kitchen cabinetry was formica gloss graphite. I have since been told that it is discontinued and my choices are to either stick with this in a matt finish or to re-select. Is it possible to paint on a high-gloss clear acrylic varnish after handover and will I still get the same effect?

The issue you have is the finish won't look like the smooth glossy grey you're wanting to achieve. If you use a brush you'll have streaks, if you use the mohair roller (recommended for enamels), it will look better but not as smooth as the pic above. If you wanted to use a clear varnish I don't think it would work because you need to sans the surface back to get some "grip". And you'd see the sanding on the laminate through the gloss varnish.
