Getting Started
The success of painted furniture begins with proper surface preparation. If you skip this part of the process, the paint can lift, peel, or crack, and your top coats can be easily damaged.
Prime the table and chairs, and let them dry. Sand lightly and wipe down with a tack cloth before applying a second coat of primer. After everything has dried, continue with the steps outlined below in the instructions.
