STREAK FREE and NO brushstrokes- paint furniture BLACK - my updated process current 2023

[@blacksheephouse]

This is a new type of paint some might not be familiar with. It is not really oil paint, it is “oil enriched” often called “Alkyd” and is soap and water clean up due to the unique way it is made. I’m really loving using this paint for darks and blacks and then still using my one step paint recipe paint for lighter colors bc it saves me so much money on my business (see video here for 1 step paint recipe- kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ6okqKwi7eghpI

[@commongirlcreations]

so no issues mixing water based sealer with it. nice

[@cindyamilcar4047]

Do you still do the roller brush top coat only technique or is the Behr+paint mix your top coat? Also how many top coats layers do you apply?

[@cherylmcguire7960]

Thank you so much. I appreciate your videos. I’m gonna go for it. Thank you again.❤

[@nellybelly623]

Is there a Home Depot version of this paint?

[@blacksheephouse]

@@nellybelly623 no, i really wish there was!! you could try their Alkyd but I don't like it near as much

[@rjrnshan]

I had trouble because I'm a newbie and can make any project complicated. But!! I used 220 grit sandpaper to sand down some strange lines that appeared in the paint on my 3rd layer and repainted the paint/poly layer. It smoothed down my mistakes and made a huge difference! So, I'm using 220 in between paint coats from now on. Also, I used a small roller - good for smaller drawers, etc. But, I've now figured out that I need a larger roller for the table top! The larger the roller, the less lines! I did two end tables by the way. Thank you for this video! Your paint and roll method is the best I've found so far to reduce brush marks!!!

[@debtighe8291]

I’ve watched a TON of furniture painting videos over the past month. This one was the most helpful to avoid streaks. I can’t believe the difference in techniques. I’ve tried another one before yours and my nightstand was LOADED with bubbles. Yours did the same process, but with a different amount of paint and roller pressure. Yours worked perfectly for me. Thank you so much!

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

When you are finished, it looks like it’s been sprayed. So pretty and professional looking.🖤✨

[@magicgordo4878]

We have found that sprayed finishes look just like they have been sprayed too.

I have to say you have a great channel! You have great direction, music, editing, soft voice! I just LOVE YOU! You make me want to tackle refinishing my furniture instead of getting rid of it. THANK YOU~THANK YOU! From Jodie Southern California!

[@lisachristopher69]

I paint a lot of black. I use a Behr flat black and mix in a smidge of almost an eggplant color. I call it ‘antique black’. Behr is great at self leveling and smoothing itself out. You can mix a glossy or satin poly into the last coat if you don’t want a flat finish. The purple tint doesn’t show but somehow helps hide the defects. My late grandpa taught me that. I love the black on black, great piece!

[@busyme4]

Do you have to buy the higher grade Behr paint? What prep method do you do? Prime? I will try the eggplant touch next time I paint in black :)

[@lisachristopher69]

@@busyme4 I use the pro grade. You don’t have to prime. At least I don’t. I do clean and light sand.

[@carriemcfadden217]

Great tip on the poly! I’m going to try it on the piece I’m doing for my grandson. Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE painted furniture in black! That dresser turned out beautifully!! 😍 I love the black on black, and yes! It DOES look sexy! I am getting ready to paint a king size sleigh bed (headboard, foot board and side rails) that we picked up in a second hand store. I actually have several other pieces I am wanting to paint. I have been binge watching your videos so I can get this right!! 🤞 Love your videos! Thanks for sharing!!

Ive watched some of your videos and I always feel inspired to replicate what you do. I have a beautiful, heavy, round, cherry red dining table that I want to paint the base matte black and sand and stain the top … wish me luck! 😆

[@chriswheeler5150]

I think I'm in love❤ the paint looks good as well

[@MariE-go7ol]

Just do what works for you! I love your technique and I’m going to start doing it this way. I just used a sprayer for the first time and I didn’t enjoy it like painting by hand and it wasn’t that easy in my opinion. You do a great job!! I love black furniture too!

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

Another great video that helped me a lot and entertained me! Great presenting style. Thanks

[@cynthias2335]

I enjoy watching your content. I just watched two of your videos back to back on black paint. The first was using HGTV ovation paint. I don’t see that it is even a recommendation in this video. Since this is an updated video , have you changed your mind on the ovation paint? Thanks

[@aprilsue7072]

I love your laugh and your spunk! Very nice job!

[@gailakraeszig2866]

I absolutely love this! I am always ( and I mean ALWAYS) so inspired after watching your videos. I always come away with a "can do" attitude. I adopted this technique on a recent coffee table I did for my granddaughter. She loved it and it really did come out beautiful. Thanks for your wonderful videos!

[@grat2010]

Please teach us how you make the dark wood filler. Your videos are my favorite bc you use the tools that I have access to. In a way I'll be sad when you move on to using the paint sprayer but I'll keep watching bc you just crack me up girlfriend.

[@seame3795]

I feel like spraying is so chaotic and the set up and clean up are brutal, besides that; I thoroughly enjoy the brush and get the impression my clients respect it more as well. 😉 It’s great exercise and better for the environment too.

[@anihristova7789]

listening to your struggles with pet fur made me laugh 😆 I have two long haired cats at home and have had to come to terms with the fact that some pieces are just going to have that little extra cat ✨pizzazz✨😂😂 thank you for sharing and all your advice - I use the brush on/roll off method religiously, and I recommend your content to anyone trying to get a smooth finish without a sprayer!

I just recently discovered your channel and I’m enjoying it. I’m in Ohio, when I was in Sherman Williams last week I was told that on the 19th, August 2022, that they’re having a 40% off super sale. So I would check it out to see if it’s in your area also, if you need ant paint. I’m getting ready to paint the whole inside of my house. So I definitely will be taken advantage of the sale. But I have a few pieces of furniture that I am preparing to paint now that I am watching your videos for tips. Thanks

[@loveconquersall4044]

I love it!!

[@jamiebowden4707]

Hi! Love your channel! I don't like tack cloths they feel too greasy. An inexpensive microfiber cloth with a little furniture polish would probably work fine. Thanks for all tips and tricks!!! 🥰

AquaLock black is the best primer to put under black or dark chalk paint. It has THE best adhesion, especially on laminate. Spray on for no texture.

[@lifewithsuzzyq2039]

I really love the turn out, I have to paint a canbinet , and a table black 😮wish me luck.👍🏾🎉

[@jamestedder5684]

I have issues with painting things black with streaks so watching your videos I have gained a lot of great knowledge. I was searching and was wondering what it your ratio of top coat to paint when mixing. Maybe I missed it somewhere in one of your videos. Very pretty furniture.

[@Chancerayburn]

I'm not sure if someone has asked yet or not, but I noticed you mixed the Waterbased Poly with the Oil based paint, I've always been told not to do so, but it seems to be working for you which is great!!

[@blacksheephouse]

Great question: Its not a true oil based paint, it’s a hybrid and it’s newer to the market. I find that the “oil enriched” “alkyd” type of paint that is labeled 🧼 💦 soap and water clean up works great mixed with water based polyurethane. ❤️

[@Chancerayburn]

@@blacksheephouse ok cool. I'm definitely gonna try your technique. These specialty furniture Paints are getting expensive and I need to save some 💸💰💸💰!

[@melaniej.roberts206]

I love the Valspar furniture/cabinet enamel

[@sizzling_rozes]

Should I do this technicque for white paint too? Such perfect relaxing music to listen to and watch you paint at 7:00

[@maryhemphill9419]

Beautiful work! What’s the ratio of the paint and the water based polyurethane that you combined?

[@blacksheephouse]

I did about half and half on last 2 coats, this paint doesn’t need a topcoat but like I said I just do it so it’s more matte and so that I can move it around the garage w/o worry of scratches while it’s still curing

[@sclose3418]

Great video. I’m laughing because we recently got a golden retriever and I’ve NEVER seen so much fur and shedding ! LoL She’s worth it though! 💕

[@blacksheephouse]

The shedding 😭😂 but totally agree, great dog

[@annekeschoneveld]

[@cassiejohnson9088]

What a beautiful job!! ❤️❤️❤️. Try ammonia for cleaning paint brushes, I leave mine soaking overnight. Although your method worked great, I don't like hand cleaning them😅

[@yolandaroque1755]

I really like the black on this dresser. I purchased a rocking chair at goodwill. Can you do a video on how you would use this oil enriched paint? I think the rocking would look fabulous in black. 😊

[@sabrinamariesayre]

It’s beautiful! I love black too. My living room tables are black but they don’t look that good.

[@neryhand6396]

Stunning!!! Now I want to go out and find a piece to try this on!!

[@cherylmcguire7960]

Also, do you have any videos on doing a French provincial dresser? There is so many grooves and stuff I am curious thank you for your help.

[@smcdaniel3894]

I’m new so I’ve seen videos say don’t overwork paint. Brush/roll on and leave it. You go over more time than I thought you could. When I go over a few times it seems to cause problems. What is your trick to go over quite a few times but looks great? Thanks

[@blacksheephouse]

Haha I am the Black Sheep 🖤 this way works best for me so I do it my way and they do it their way, none is wrong just different strokes for different folks

[@michelle.elizaa]

[@deefaye7336]

Beautiful! And that finish, wow!

[@jordanwhiteflower8125]

i think the best way to int it is to remove all the drawers and have it painted individually this way it will avoid paint lumps on furmiture cavities like the drawer slots and also to uniformly painted it smoothly and clean

[@carolinedubose5136]

What’s your wood filler concoction? And what are the measurements of the paint and polyurethane?

[@jabronvidra475]

Greetings…I’m new to your channel, this piece looks great! I’m looking forward to trying this technique… Question, with this particular paint do you not have to prime the furniture first?

[@Motoray__456mx]

Do you still do the behr concoction? If so, how much do you do equal parts paint and polyurethane? Do you notice it yellows at all? Do you do this with white paint too?

[@michelleherman5298]

Love it! I watched your other videos and you used your paint recipe do I do that with this or just use this paint?

[@KathyaKalinine]

Gorgeous!!!

[@shelleycoleman1760]

Hi Shannon. I purchased the valspar cabinet and furniture paint and when i opened the can it was like pudding. Have you run across this paint like that? the Behr formula is really thin. That is what I was expecting this paint to be like. Maybe i got a bad batch.

[@andreatrepasburgess7551]

I just ordered these rollers . Why not put a primer under this so no orange peel show ? Looks amazing

[@JJones-fe9ng]

Very nice. You do very good work!

[@BreeFord]

Not sure if you already answered this, but after you were finished did you do another top coat of poly acrylic by itself or because you mixed it into your paint you don’t need to do that? Hopefully you’ll answer this I’m finished with painting my cabinets and trying to apply my top coat and it’s going horrible!😩 so many streaks! But watching your video I’m tempted to add it to my paint and do one more coat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@blacksheephouse]

I didn’t do that bc you may still end up seeing a foggy look or streaks, I always mix poly and the black now, for dark colors at least. For light colors you can do whatever really and it won’t show streaks 🖤

[@Jakilyn]

Stunning!🖤💯
