definitely helpful, getting resdy to paint a crib for baby #4 and definitely dont have the time or energy to prep ❤

[@Happyspacediys]

That's amazing! I'm so happy my video was able to help you out. Congratulations on your baby!! 🥰

[@Marie-Heath]

Love this! I’m really enjoying all your tutorials….I’m curious though about the durability of the paint adhering to factory finish furniture piece?

[@Happyspacediys]

Thank you so much for watching! ❤️ Great question! So, these tables had a kind of slick surface to them. Being not real wood and dated. It was that really shiney veneer, and this paint has held up great on them. There is a "curing" time I noticed. After about 2 weeks the paint bonded and sealed to the surface. I hope this helps! 🙌

[@TheHTGuys]

Nice video! Have you done a video on distressing the paint?

[@Happyspacediys]

Thank you so much! 😊 No I haven't yet 😅 It's kind of a classic.. maybe I should! 🤔

[@latoyawilliams52513]

Hi, would you recommend the chalk paint brushes from Annie Sloan brushes.

[@Happyspacediys]

Hi! Only if you are painting with actual chalkpaint and aren't going for a smooth finish. If you watch her videos she does a fabulous job explaining how to paint with them and what to expect. Most painters like the smooth brush free finish. And with natural brushes like hers, it's nearly impossible to get. Hope that helps! 🙌❤

[@budsmith5]

🎉really nice. Does the paint chip?

[@Happyspacediys]

Once it cures completely to the surface, it's on for good! I still have these and the paint has held up beautifully!

[@jonuvark2385]

Will this paint work on sealed furniture? I have an 80's china and hutch my kids won't let me give to Goodwill. The surface is coated with something glossy.

[@Happyspacediys]

I know exactly that type of furniture! And I'd do some light sanding and cleaning before hand. Else anything latex based will peel right off or get sticky. For that type of surface and piece I would recommend an actual chalk paint like Annie Sloan or Wise Owl. It's a little more expensive but it will save you in time and actually work. I have a table from the 80s that I painted in chalk paint and used wax to seal it. It's been holding up for over 2 years as our TV stand. Hope this helps! 🙌

[@jonuvark2385]

@@Happyspacediys Thank you so much!

[@FlyPiggie]

Do think it would work on bathroom cabinets?

[@Happyspacediys]

The paint, yes. But bathroom cabinets I would recommend sanding down the surface and cleaning before any paint. It gets muggy and you want to avoid that cakey sticky feeling latex paint can create. Hope this helps! 🙌

[@lyds7771]

Love it. Where can we get bear paint ?

[@Happyspacediys]

Thank you! You can typically buy the paint from Home Depot 😊

[@lyds7771]

@@Happyspacediys perfect I’m going to paint a piece that I have. Should I just seal it with wax ?

[@Happyspacediys]

@lyds7771 Yes, wax works great or you can use a polyurethane top coat. I use both. It just depends on the piece. That's how I decide. Like a kitchen table, I'd use the poly top coat. But book shelf or side table, I would typically use just a wax 😊

[@kathym2563]

What did you wipe down the furniture with? Also does the Behr paint have a semi gloss instead of a matte. Is that a chalk paint?

[@Happyspacediys]

Hi Kathy! Just an all purpose cleaner. You can use dawn dish soap and water. That works great or tsp. As far as semi gloss, I would personally recommend matte paints when using on furniture. And if you'd like a more shiney look focus on a polyurethane gloss/semi gloss top coat. Not sure why, but gloss and semi gloss latex paints have a way of making the surface sticky and will also peel easier. This paint here is not a chalk paint, it's just a matte finish. Behr does have chalk paint. People either love it or hate it 😅 I've done 3 pieces with different colors and it worked good for me. Hope all this helps! Happy painting! ❤

[@kathym2563]

@@Happyspacediys Thank you ...This is exactly the answer I was hoping for. One more question.I want to paint wooden kitchen chairs with this paint.I was thinking of using my Krudd Cutter as these chairs are very old and pretty dirty. Will the paint still work if I use Krudd Cutter? Will this paint be easy clean since I am wanting to use white for the color and I am thinking they will occasionally need wiping down.

[@Happyspacediys]

@Kathy M krudd cutter is perfect. Just make sure rinse it off. It can leave behind a barrier that can affect the paint. With chairs and heavy traffic items, it's more about that top coating. So the paint will be just fine. It's good to do a few coats vs try to cover it all in 1 go. Make sure they are dry and apply your poly top coat. That will make it easy for clean up and protect any bumps and damage that will happen with kitchen chairs. You'll do great! 😊

[@kathym2563]

@@Happyspacediys Thank you for the encouragement and all the great ideas. I was also thinking a poly coat as well. This will be my first project.

[@Happyspacediys]

@Kathy M Oh wow! That's wonderful! I'm happy to help! Remember they look ugly before it looks good 😅 Paint levels out as it dries too. Temperature effects drying time. Basically slow and steady wins the race! You got this 💪 If you run into any bumps feel free to reach back out. I'm not on Instagram as much but I do get notifications for KZbin so I'll see your comment and can help you the best I can. You'll be a pro by that last chair 😂 Have fun with it!!

[@Imana23]

Can I use paint roller instead of brush.

[@Happyspacediys]

Yes, of course!

[@oursurrogatejourneytoparen7223]

So does this paint peal or scratch off over time?

[@Happyspacediys]

Hi there! Great question! No, over time this paint becomes more cured to the surface area. Which makes it super durable!

[@Enjoylife24X7]

What is exact paint product link? I can’t find on home depot with same description..

[@Happyspacediys]

So sorry! I need to update some of these descriptions in my video. I thought I had the link for it but doesn't appear so. You can either go on home depot site or Behr and type it in manually. I love going to home depot and getting sample sizes of this paint too!

[@anabellaparis1]

How did you paint the handles please

[@Happyspacediys]

For these, I cleaned them and then gave them 2 coats in gold spray paint 😊

[@jeannedelooze1036]

Was the top of this piece laminated?

[@Happyspacediys]

@jeannedelooze1036 Great attention to detail! They look it, but it's just shiny. They were made in the 80s, so it's that slick veneer cover over the fake wood.

[@madymisucreations9191]

Do i need to use a sealer?

[@Happyspacediys]

You can if you'd like to. Eventually in a few weeks the paint cures enough to create its own barrier. If you'd like extra protection, I would use a polyurethane top coat. ❤️

[@CarolSteinfeld]

I thought sanding was needed for the paint to cling to the wood

[@Happyspacediys]

Yes, you're right. Any of my other tutorials you'll find me doing a full prep. However, not all have the time or are able to sand. There's other ways where you can complete a painted piece and not sand. I still cleaned so that helps and the type of paint this is also plays a significant part in adhesion. I still have these 2 tables, and they get moved around a lot in the garage. Absolutely no problem with lifting! ❤️

[@rodvey1825]

Lip stick furniture painting. I don't trust a product that says no prep or primer needed.

[@Happyspacediys]

I created this video as an option. It's not my normal process of furniture painting. Also, still have these tables and they are looking good and holding up like all my other furniture. I wouldn't take my personal time to create a video with a product I don't trust. I'm not sponsored by this product. And make pennies per video. So I gain nothing other than sharing knowledge. But you deserve to believe whatever you'd like!
