BEST Primer for Laminate Furniture | Without Sanding VS Sanding | How to Paint Laminate Furniture

What is the BEST primer for laminate furniture? Do you have to sand the laminate, or can you get away with painting laminate without sanding?

This week I tested 4 different primers on laminate (Shellac Based Primers VS Water Based Primers) to see which one(s) came out on top.

I took it a few steps further by testing how they worked with sanded and not sanded laminate, AND I painted latex paint and chalk paint samples over each to see how durable each paint and primer combo was.
