I think you are going to do well on KZbin. You speak normally with a great conversational flow, you explain what and why you are doing the next step and you show how and what product being used. From my perspective, these are all the right ingredients for success! Good luck. I subscribed!

Very nice! First time I watched. Thanks for the tips. I’ll be using them on my next project!

[@lizwatkins7896]

Beautiful!

[@tinamcnalley2575]

Piece looks great! I love MCM furniture and watching before and afters. To make life easier for yourself next time - try anything other than Behr. Tried to paint trim and was planning to use on cabinets several years ago, worst paint I've ever used in my life! Also, I only use artist quality brushes for furniture and cabinets. The kind with bright white bristles - very inexpensive at Hobby Lobby. Contractor grade brushes usually have such thick bristles every stroke shows. First time I used artist grade- the paint went on so smoothly, not one stroke showed. The actual woodgrain was still visible. Everyone thought I had sprayed the paint on - and I never even touched the paint with sandpaper.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks! And I will have many before and afters this year! Also nice tips I will certainly consider them for my next projects :) I have had good and bad experiences with Behr, their white paint is bad lol

[@weissweiss]

Thank you. I learnt a lot. Please continue to document your work!

I have the matching dresser for this piece. I bought it at a furniture thrift store and it is in my living room as my tv stand. It is a huge piece with 9 drawers. I bought it to refinish, but I decided to keep it as is at least for now.

[@pepitapulgarcita5051]

Hello from Spain!!Good tip about numbering the drawers cos it happens a few times to me and is very annoying!!

[@michellepeters6532]

It came out really really nice! I LOVE the color scheme. I’ve seen in other videos where it really isn’t necessary to prime over laminate, because oils and so forth don’t really pull through laminate. Plus it reduces the “thick” painted look. Just an FYI for future laminate projects. You really did an amazing job on this one though. I’m used to using Chalk paint. It’s thicker than a regular satin paint. I’m going to try just using regular paint for my next few projects. Thanks fir sharing your videos! I really enjoy watching you. 😁👍🏻

[@FurnitureFlippa]

highly recommend a primer for laminate to adhere better to the surface. I would use BIN shellac, it is not to prevent bleeds but more so to hold on and not peel off. Paint is more likely to come off if directly applied to the laminate. Thanks for watching!

[@michellepeters6532]

@@FurnitureFlippa ah!! Thanks for the info! I will definitely use primer for everything, more than likely. 😁

[@janetrodgers7007]

I remember mid century so well, my Era. A Sterling job, love it! I bought an oak unit with separate upper, including fold down 'cocktail cabinet' for £20. Taken off drop down door and side doors. I don't like dense carving on lower cabinet side door or 4 drawers, flipping them inside out. Painting it black. Have a couple of rolls of small print wallpaper from late 60's or might paint back of upper cabinet. Not sure. Curtains are geometric, quite retro, background ivory, pattern teal, lime, orange, suggestion would be welcome. Got no furniture from divorce, by chance bought almost identical plain teak table and chairs (I bought original table 1/1970, original table ended up in my garage 4 years ago, given to son and his fiance, who had no had it's mine! UK maker, G Plan.) intend to sand top as marked, might do legs slate, chair legs too, seats, one of colours from Curtains? I would love if you could give a suggestion of colour for chairs. Only other chair in living room is wingback in light terracotta. Cat scratched my leather chairs too badly to save. As she's over 20...1 will do at the moment.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

honestly I am not the best at picking colors! I usually jump on Pinterest and get creative from seeing various projects on there!

[@jayleenchapero315]

This was great and ty for explaining everything:)

[@FurnitureFlippa]

No prob! Thanks for watching :)

[@GDug-rs5sh]

love it

[@rommycougar]

Is this latex paint the same thats used on walls ?!

[@arexandwa]

What mask are you using while sanding and priming? And is it reusable? Thank you! Great job on your project 😇

[@bendmywhammy]

Wow I'm totatlly amazed on how the end product looked. Great job! Im planning to paint my laminate tv stand, can I use kilz multipurpose primer and some behr 2 in 1 water based paint? Thanks in advance!

[@LynnLinn1]

Love it.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

glad you like it!

[@juliadoran6450]

Nice !🇨🇦

[@debbieminkus2566]

Do you use latex paint or cabinet furniture paint?? Thank you

[@HappyTailsandHappyTrails]

So after a year how did the kilz hold up? All the videos I've watched say not to use water based because it scratches & chips off.

[@halo218813]

Looks great - just a question - how come you use spray lacquer instead of brush on? Thanks!

[@mitchvi888]

Hello what did u use in your final paint spray ? Thanks

[@jayhulrs1435]

Have you ever tried the brush on laquer finish?

[@tamara6357]

Could I paint a wood bed from plain to grey with this technique?

[@drazenstefanovic6122]

Do I have to wait beetween coats of base 12hours or just one hour till is dry first coat is dry?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I wait until it is dry to touch!

[@dantastic8471]

Just wondering, why not also use the roller with the top coat?

[@tabithatierney6512]

What grit did you use for the top?

[@ravinakaushal1265]

How do we know if we’ve don’t a good job at priming and can start the next step of painting ?

[@michellepeters6532]

It just depends on the piece you’re doing. If there isn’t any bleed through of oils (white primer will turn yellow with oil bleed through) then one coat is sufficient and you can move ahead with painting. Primer doesn’t really have to be perfect by any means. Hope this helps!

[@jordangarza1116]

You give a bob ross vibe

ill take it lol

thanks M. Lewis!!

[@yolandahines1094]

Nice....

[@lol-vx3uf]

I really need your help. I tried latex paint over a little dresser, and the laminate curling cracks are showing through the paint causing it to look separated. I know I know I know I should have used a shellac primer or something, Do you think that would stop it from happening when I repaint? FYI I did sand the piece and also cleaned it with TSP before I did all this. It's the laminate that's the problem and the wood stain

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Hmm, I would use a furniture paint for this project like Fusion Mineral Paint or a chalk paint. Your challenge will be removing as much of the old paint as possible, sand it as smooth as possible, trying to remove as much latex paint as you can. Id start with a low grit sandpaper then like a 400 to finish it off. Whether it peels off or however, try to remove the old paint as best as possible. Prime with Bin Shellac, 2 coats just to make sure you are covering over the old stuff. Lightly sand with 220 grit sanding sponge and now you can paint. Protect it with water-based poly or wax, your choice. Hopefully this helps!

[@andreatrepasburgess7551]

How long between spraying the spray on top four times ?

[@marcipfeifer1409]

How long did you let the primer dry?

[@888victorc]

wow!

[@suzanneribas3746]

Question: Can't you connect your vacuume cleaner to your sander?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

You could if you have the connectors!

[@wayneetcetera]

What grit was your first sanding of the top?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I believed I used 120 grit then a 180!

[@wayneetcetera]

@@FurnitureFlippa Thank you sir 👊

[@GamerBat3112]

Which paint did you use?

[@mariedixon4513]

What if the bottom is warped at bottom of drawers.. Can that be fixed. Thank you. Happy holidays 🙏

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I haven't had that issue myself, I usually try to avoid projects with structural damage. But I think removing the warped piece and adding a new piece of wood or veneer would do the trick. Happy Holidays to you :)

[@NEILZEE11]

Wow, it’s absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t skip forward, applying that white was mesmerizing.... If you don’t mind me asking, what state are you in, probably not California, right? 💕 Love the black & white, good choice 👍

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks! :) I actually live in Canada!

[@alexanderlara8799]

Such a great job man!! What kind of paint did u use by the way?? Acrylic type lemme know thanks

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I used a KILZ primer, but I recommend a shellac base such as BIN. It will be a better base on laminate furniture. I used Behr ultra white paint on this project! I do now like rust-oleums white chalk paint, it covers easier.

[@alexanderlara8799]

@@FurnitureFlippa thanks very much i appreciate your time to reply 👍🏼👍🏼

[@FurnitureFlippa]

@@alexanderlara8799 no problem!!

[@alexespinoza8789]

Can’t find the paint.. anyone have any ideas as to where I can purchase this paint plz

[@jesseniasanchez5035]

Do you wait for it to be dry before spraying with the lacquer

[@FurnitureFlippa]

yes. But looking back at this project I would now spray it with water based poly.

[@robknox917]

How much did this project cost you to restore?

[@uzrah5667]

Thanks 🙏

[@corneliusmack888]

What grit sand paper did you use the first time you sanded?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

180 grit

[@ladyinblue4876]

Do you really need to primer before painting it blk? I need to paint a table but I don’t want to spend more or do a lot of stuff

[@FurnitureFlippa]

You don't have to, but I didnt trust the weird product that was on the surface. So I put a bit of an oil based primer over it!

[@ravinakaushal1265]

Do we need to prime the laminated furniture 2 times ? Or is 1 time okay ?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I recommend using bin shellac-based primer, 1 might do the trick if rolled but 2 reduces risk of chips even more!

[@manalibrahim7274]

perfect

[@FurnitureFlippa]

thank you!!
