What is the Best Furniture Paint?
Weve had great results with all of these paints following the four simple steps below.
There are now great options such as outdoor latex, enamels and multi-surface paints.
double-check that the piece is completely dry before moving on to the next steps.
Other options include a high-quality primer (such as we used forthis vanity makeover).
Step 3: Paint the Dresser
The next step is to paint your dresser!
The thickness and self-leveling properties are great for covering small imperfections to leave a smooth finish.
Apply the first coat of paint with a really soft brush or foam roller to avoid streaking.
Ensure that the first coat is completely dry before applying a second coat of paint if needed.
For a smoother second coat thats free of brush marks, dilute the paint with a bit of water.
We usedthe Clear Creme Waxwhich is non-yellowing and provides a durable finish for long-term results.
you’re free to buff this wax to a high-gloss sheen or leave it matte as we did.
However, weve now refinished a number of pieces using the paint and theyve turned out beautifully.
Since the paints come in plastic jars with twist off lids, theyre really convenient to use.
And since theyre water-based, cleaning up is really simple.
We hope youve found this tutorial on how to paint a dresser without sanding helpful.
