ᐅ Questions About Painting Cabinet Fronts in an IKEA Kitchen Unit

So... We are currently repainting the fronts in a different color. Sanding and painting... I’m just wondering whether to add a clear coat or use a protective film. Mostly to make wiping easier if something drips...

And now a question… How do I remove this bar? I don’t want to damage anything...

The shelf was also sanded and painted light blue… looks nice...

How did you achieve that watercolor-like paint effect?

And now one more question... How do I remove this rod? I don’t want to break anything...

Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the connector at the back and turn it (clockwise to the right, counterclockwise to the left).
Push the sleeve forward, fold down the railing rod, pull the plastic anchor out from the front, while pressing the joint inward.

The colorful part is a film... I can’t paint something like that. I can only do white or blue 😀

Thanks for the instructions... I’ll give it a try tomorrow.
