What is the best way to paint a cheap wood-veneer bookcase?

josieb asked:


I’ve got a bookcase from Ikea that I would like to paint. It is birch veneer. What kind of paint should I use? will I need to sand it first?

      The primer after sanding if painting wont work you could buy one of those kits that.
