I like to use Citristrip and place plastic wrap on. Works amazingly and then I go over with mineral spirits. Far less sanding. Your project tired out great. Can’t wait to try spray paint on a small dresser I have.

[@k_soares.]

I used that same paint color on a project and also found it much lighter than expected... Really nice how it turned out after the dark wax.

[@jeannedorsey8122]

Turned out great!!! You were right to use clear wax before dark wax…a great tip when using dark wax is you can use clear wax to help remove or reactivate the dark wax if it has dried.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

great tip!!

[@raraavis7782]

Very nice compromise between preserving it in its original state and giving it a new, fresh look.

[@joec783]

Beautiful...my favorite blue.Can add few drops of blk. To make darker.love it.

[@albertmontoya6413]

I use Krylon chalk paint a vibrant blue color over a black night stand no sanding no sanding and it took used two coats 3 years later it's still vibrant. It was a spray chalk paint

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Nice! I am currently doing a project with no sanding now, seems to be holding on well so far. Painting with a brush!

[@KoolT]

I'm so glad I found this.

[@saltykissez8850]

So good! The dark wax made all the difference for me. Now you have me wanting to try a spray project. I’ve always been nervous about doing it. Lol

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks! I remember seeing the can and said "yup I need to try this out" haha give it a shot it easy!

[@marge1538]

Looks good. I really like the contrast!

[@kathyl5610]

It looks really pretty, I love the combination of the natural and blue with the pop of gold. Great job! New subscriber now. I just found your channel.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

thanks kathy!!

[@leorasmoot6422]

Very nice! You can use clear wax over dark wax to help remove it. Baby wipes work great also!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

great thanks! Want to try some more chalk paint/wax projects soon!

[@tonipope3164]

Very nice... I agree with you on color... original didn't have the depth you ended up with. But its hard to tell unless you have past experience... so your fix was perfect! Nice job and great explanation!

[@Donna-vh5ym]

Just found your channel. Great job. I can't wait to tackle a big bedroom project.

[@kimberlydrake8654]

Hi just subscribed yesterday...so forgive me if you already learned or heard of these tricks I want to share....first one I saw one comment about the trick of using clear wax as an eraser for moving dry dark wax....just want to add ...yes clear wax first before the dark wax ...in smaller areas ...right after you clear wax....then if you apply too much you can always just take clear wax and use as eraser and or to move wax easier......second trick is to use stripper more liberally and if you have time...cover with Saran Wrap ....I have not personally tried this but have seen others leave over night and easily remove stripper and stain the next day.....so definitely under that you are good to go. Thought I would share bc I have already learned some great tips from you! Love the piece....thanks for sharing 😊kim

[@guyh.4553]

Never heard of Spray Chalk Paint. Nice. One recommendation, longer strokes with the can. Better coverage

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks for the tip guy!

[@zerozilchnada5373]

Gorgeous. Loving your channel, keep up the great work. Your inspiring me to have the courage to paint my baltic pine furniture. Two tone, black & stain the tops. Still undecided if I want to paint the drawer fronts as well or not 🤦‍♀️

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks Lost! But hmm I am sure either option will turn out nice, good luck!

[@judymielcarek6011]

Awesome finish! Love the color.

[@emilykrahn3185]

Looks really good I like the unpainted wood I wanted to see the top a little bit more I wish you would show the finished projects a little bit longer.

You don't have to sand furniture when using chalk paint. It covers well. I'm still watching and can't wait to see the end result.

[@judyeldridge5786]

Looks very nice

[@tashlentine]

those handles look like brass - you could have saved youself a bunch of time just using some elbow grease and brasso - no need to scratch them up with sandpaper and spraypaint that will turn green in a few years LOL for real though if you have brass just polish it - i have a 200 year old bureau and with some use and maintainence the brass looks brand new. Vs I have a 60s dresser I thought i'd spruced up using gold paint and everything went dull green in 5 years. finished thing looks great tho

Love this ! I'm curious. how many cans of the blue paint was used?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I purchased 2 but only used one for this smaller piece!

[@selini7774]

Thanks for the great tips - I have just spray painted my fireplace with the same Rustoleum Coastal blue-been told not to seal with wax - what can I seal it with that can take some heat ? Or should I leave it as is ? Thanks

[@iseejewelz3874]

He's so cute

[@tonyyero7231]

looks great but these projects always end up so expensive

[@theresebeavers4045]

Never did see how the top turned out. Did I miss something, or were we not meant to see?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

oops, there is a photo at the end in the end screen you can see. Also its on my Instagram: FurnitureFlippa

[@Heavyhearted44]

How long does it take to sale it

[@labritineta4058]

Elegant

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks :)

[@Rick-tb4so]

Using a spray can for very small projects works OK but trying to paint a door or something large doesn't work well. It comes out with shaded areas. The paint sets up too quickly..

[@bnellaniyah]

Thanks for the video. I'm learning about refinishing furniture. Question, since you ended up sanding could you have just skipped the chemical stripper?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

You do not need to chemical strip, but sometimes it's a good idea when removing finish off thin veneer. You can sand without stripping, but when you strip you should sand with 180-220 grit to get directly down to a clean fresh layer of wood/veneer.

[@janetpeters6208]

You have a thing for blue!!!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I sure don't mind it!

[@sebacastillos]

Which color is that?

[@pamelabrown8782]

Beautiful how long did it take?

[@AtHomea]

i thought you don't have to strip or sand furniture before chalk paint?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I only stripped where I stained. You don't have to sand for paint, but I make sure to sand before any paint so it adheres better! It is good practice.

[@jillsdasilva]

What would happen if you didn’t do all the prep work and just started spraying away?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

prepping creates a better surface for your paint to stick to. If you don't prep you risk paint chipping and peeling off, it doesn't mean it will but there is a greater chance.

[@jillsdasilva]

@@FurnitureFlippa thanks for that. I just don’t have the patience or the knowledge so I’d be that one person to shake the can and spray lol

[@FurnitureFlippa]

@@jillsdasilva no problem! Chalk paint is the best choice when doing so. Lots of people do it! Quality paint and then wax, you shouldn't have issues!

[@mariaortiz210]

It looks great! What’s the name of the color and how many cans did you use ?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I am using Rust-Oleums Chalked Coastal Blue Spray Paint and I only needed one can for this piece!

[@SyedAunAkhtar]

Excellent video. Question: I want a spray paint an ikea table, can I paint it in my small garage without fear of making everything around blue? I mean is it a good idea to spray laint indoors?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thank you so much for watching! I recommend an area that is well ventilated. And if it isn't ventilated well you need to wear a proper NIOSH mask to prevent any damages. I paint in my garage with the door opened up a couple of feet wearing a mask. This spray does leave a blue dust around the area sprayed so placing a plastic drop cloth will prevent blue everywhere. And you mention IKEA, if the furniture is not real wood (laminate) you should consider priming with Bin or Kilz primer. I am currently painting a laminate piece and the video will be out today or tomorrow.

[@SyedAunAkhtar]

@@FurnitureFlippa thank you!

[@raingirl98275]

You can go to dollar tree and purchase a couple shower curtains...I use them for messy mats for my projects.

[@juliandodwell8213]

How much dis you send on the paint ?

[@samanmuneer177]

Do we need to use stripper, even of we r gonna sand it after?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

You always sand after stripping, but only once you use mineral spirits to clean it though. You can sand without stripper if you want. Typically it will take longer, I probably didn't need to strip on this small project.

[@samanmuneer177]

Ahh ok ..Thanks so much!👍

[@adamcenteno6155]

Do you have to strip it or can you sand it down?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

yes you can sand it down, just need to be careful if you are dealing with thin veneer.

[@raingirl98275]

Why did you have to sand if you used chalk paint?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I always sand lightly when painting. This creates a better surface for the paint to stick to so it doesn't chip or peel off easily!

[@Jeff-cr6ur]

wasn't the whole point of inventing chalk paint so that you do not have to sand, prep, varnish/strip the wood etc? I literally brush on chalk paint over any surface and apply the wax.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I have no idea why they invented chalk paint, but probably for those such reasons. However, here I strip the old finish only on the places I am staining the surface. Stripping and sanding these areas work best when staining. For chalk paint, they say you don't have to sand, but sanding any surface before painting is highly recommended for a more durable paint job. Priming is also recommended when painting furniture for better adherence.

[@leighsutherland6222]

That table was really cheap looking to begin with, so anything would have been an improvement. I sometimes like the combination of painted and stained wood, but not on this table. The top is just so ugly and tacky, that I would have covered it. The dark wax is what ruined the piece for me though. It ruined the vibe for me.

[@cameronsmith4302]

LOOL , this guy .

[@purplesuninthesky]

Mine came out drippy and horrible!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Be careful not to spray too much at a time. Also, sometimes these spray cans by Rustoleum can be faulty, so if it is not spraying nice you may need to clean the nozzle or return it for a new one. Spray evenly to avoid dripping marks. Good luck

[@2001eskimo]

it would look better all blue
