Here's my tips for painting furniture
...Jamie, <br />Here's my tips for painting furniture<br />1. Make sure your piece is solid wood and not laminate<br />2. Take apart as much of the piece as possible<br />3. Clean each piece (just soap and water)<br />4. Sand each piece, when possible <br />5. Prime with Kilz<br />6. I use Rustoleum's 2x coverage spray paint when painting things that have carvings or deep crevices (no need to prime when spray painting)<br />7. I use a foam roller on everything else. <br />8. Buy good quality paint (I recommend Behr by Home Depot or Ralph Lauren)<br />9. Sand between each coat (unless you're using spray paint- no sanding needed)<br />I use a palm sander for big jobs and a sanding block for everything else.<br /><br />Hope this helps. If the finish is in good shape and you don't want to sand- do a little spot with primer and paint, then run your hand roughly over it a few hours later. If it stays intact you should be okay without sanding. Good luck- send before and after pics we'd love to feature it.Kelly Biggs at A Little Biggs Of Everythinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475947407627268395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-45043314212114343532010-04-20T17:09:34.383-07:002010-04-20T17:09:34.383-07:00Kelly- I have a desk I am thinking about refinishi...Kelly- I have a desk I am thinking about refinishing after reading your blog...and gifting to my almost 8 year for her birthday for an art station for her room. Do I need to sand it all down? It's finish is in good shape, can I just wash it and prime and paint? Any good beginner tutorials you can point me to?<br />Jamie G. from around the corner and up the streetJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622323916578416876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-43260316180637362592010-04-20T12:23:56.452-07:002010-04-20T12:23:56.452-07:00That piece has killer feet on it!!!!
