How Do You Paint Furniture With High Gloss?
Painting furniture is a great way to extend its life. Choosing high-gloss paint requires meticulous preparation to get started, but once you’ve painted the piece, the high-gloss surface will stand up to wear and tear. Its durability makes high-gloss paint a great choice for furniture that get a lot of use, especially in children’s rooms. Sand the furniture well, so that you have a completely smooth surface to paint. If the furniture has old paint on it, sand it gently to even out the surface. If it has a shiny surface, rough it up with sandpaper before smoothing it out again. High-gloss paint shows every flaw, so it’s important to get your surfaces totally smooth. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the piece, and sweep or vacuum up any loose sandpaper grit in your work area. Open the primer; stir it with a paint stirrer. Use a paintbrush to neatly apply a uniform coat of primer to your furniture. Let the primer dry for 24 hours. Open and stir the high-gloss paint. Use a clean brush to paint
