Getting Started
The success of painted finished 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.
Follow the instructions closely and pay attention to detail in this project. Measure and tape the surface as accurately as possible. You also may want to practice the painting techniques before applying them to your piece of furniture. The end result will be a stunning piece you’ll be proud to feature in your home.
