How to paint old wooden furniture?

The furniture is worn out, the paint on the top is worn out, and we can rejuvenate it by simply brushing it once. How to paint the paint? It is not difficult, just a few basic tools and some time. Let's talk about the specific practices below.

First, make preparations

1. Spread the newspaper on the floor first, then open the doors and windows to ensure adequate ventilation. Place the wooden furniture to be painted on the newspaper. Wear a mask and gloves before you start.

2. Use a screwdriver to remove the hardware from the furniture. If you want to paint the chest of drawers or the dressing table, remove the hardware before you start. This has two advantages:

One is to ensure that the paint is not brushed onto the hardware; the second is to replace the hardware with a new one or a complete paint.

3. Repair the notched, holed, and dented gap with a glue (putty). Use a putty knife to scrape off excess glue and let the glue dry.

4. Sand the furniture surface with sandpaper. This is done to remove the protective varnish or paint from the surface of the wooden furniture, making the primer easier to attach to the furniture.

Where the adhesive is applied, if there is any unevenness, sand the paper thoroughly, so that the place where the glue is applied is kept flush with the rest of the furniture.

5. After sanding the surface of the furniture, wipe it gently with a clean, coarse cloth to remove the residue and keep the surface of the furniture clean and tidy. If necessary, use a mild detergent and then dry the furniture surface with a cloth.

Second, start to apply primer and paint

1. If you want the furniture to look evenly colored, apply a primer. Use a paint brush and a roller to gently apply a primer to the surface of the wooden furniture. The paint brush is used to brush the edges, corners, and areas that are difficult to brush; the roller has a wide, uniform area without a wavy shape. Wait until the primer is dry and then paint.

2. After the primer has dried, polish the surface with fine-grained sandpaper. Sanding with sandpaper allows the paint to adhere better to the primer.

3. Start painting, first use the roller, then use the paint brush. If possible, roll the uniform portion with a foam roller and then repaint it evenly with a paint brush. Pay special attention to places where the roller brush is not available, such as corners. When the paint dries, check to see if there is any place where the paint is not completely painted.

4. If necessary, apply a layer of paint. According to professional painters, a layer of primer and paint is not enough to produce a professional effect, wait for the first layer of paint to dry (preferably dry overnight, at least 6 hours), then use the above method to brush the same paint again. .

5. Brush protective paint (optional). After the paint has dried, apply it with a varnish or sealant to avoid scratches and scratches on the paint. This also adds a slight shine to the furniture.

6. Wait for the paint to dry out, and the painting work is over!

hint:

1. Acrylic paint can be used so that the paint is not applied after painting, because acrylic itself provides sufficient protection.

2. Add some paint to the primer so that the primer will be thicker and reduce the possibility of wood grain seeping out.
