So you’re sanding the clear coat/shiny sealer off so the paint will adhere to the piece.After you sand off the clear coat then you want to remove the dust with a dry rag, then a damp rag & once dry wipe down with the tack cloth. If necessary then sand it smooth (if wood sand with grain) and repeat the cleaning the dust steps again.Then You can begin the painting process at that point.

Hi! I believe that all furniture requires some level of sanding...so I personally would sand the furniture to make sure the paint adheres to the surface. Look at it this way, sanding furniture before painting will ensure a smooth finish that will make it less likely to chip! Good luck with everything! :)

Unless it is fiberboard for the wood. To achieve a lighter look. One can use a stain that is even white to allow the wood grain that your Deity had placed into the wood itself. For example Pure White 1081 by Minwax.

Did you mostly sand the pieces with the sander you showed? How long do you wait between the primer and paint coats? Do you use seperate rollers for primer, paint, and sealer, or can you wash them..... Would these products all work on a kitchen table?
@XXgenderloveXY4 жыл бұрын
If you use a bonding primer you don't have to sand anything, and it will adhere to ANY surface, including wood, "fake" wood, metal, vinyl, laminate etc. Just paint one layer of bonding primer directly to the surface you want to paint. Just make sure it's clean. The primer dries within hours and then you can paint! Or if the surface was rough you can do a second layer of primer. It's so much easier and faster. I just did a metal bedframe and it was not even comparable to having to sand first. Hope this helps!

Hmmm so in your case, I would heavily sand the furniture in order to STRIP OFF the color. For this I would use ultra course sandpaper, the lower the grit, the better. Sanding will avoid the red coming through. After, prime and paint. Then the fun part - lightly sand to distress. So sand -> prime -> paint -> distress (lightly sand) Good luck on your project!
