Kitchenchairs sanding sandbeforepainting The problem is they might have a
polyurethane coating or something(That's more likely with cheap things), that
would keep the paint job from lasting as long, but would take a lot of work to
get off too.Still, if they don't show lots of spots and the plastic isn't
rubbing off, i'd go ahead and just paint(And not be disappointed if the job only
lasted three or so years. ) Posted by some1 at 1:56 PM on August 21, 2010 [1
favorite] It's probably a sprayed on laquer.Painting on that stuff asis is going
to be iffy as the paint won't have anything really to hold onto.Take some 220
grit sandpaper and rub it down, not to take off the finish, but to break the
surface down.Don't worry about all the little cracks, just do a decent job of
getting everywhere you can until the surface is dull.You might need to do some
misting with water to keep the sandpaper from getting clogged(Use wet/dry
paper).You might want to hit it with a primer coat of zinnser first, just to
make a reasonable chemical bond too.Wagner power painter)It'll make priming and
painting a lot easier.More light coats are much better than fewer heavy coats,
and painting lots of fiddly dowels on those chairs with a brush is a pita.
Posted by seanmpuckett at 2:07 PM on August 21, 2010 Clarification:Prime with
zinnser after sanding.If you do wet sand, use very little water(As i said, just
misting with a spray bottle).Be sure to wipe off all the dust thoroughly before
you paint. Posted by seanmpuckett at 2:08 PM on August 21, 2010 [1 favorite]
Actually, polyurethane is unusual on massproduced furniture because it takes so
long to dry.Lacquer is fairly standard, though other fastcuring finishes such as
catalyzed /"Conversion"Varnishes and some newer waterbased finishes are used
too. What you want to avoid http://www.vitzrsclub.com/christian-louboutin-evenings.html
is latex paint that's intended for walls, because such paints tend to remain
soft, impressionable and vaguely sticky indefinitely.Assuming you'll be painting
with a brush, enamel is probably the way to go.Lacquer, especially colored
lacquer, is more of a specialty product and is best applied with a spray gun. I
would clean the louboutinpascher
chairs carefully and
give them a light sanding with finegrit paper so the new paint has something to
hang onto.Like some1 says, completely stripping the old finish is probably more
work than it's worth. Posted by jon1270 at 2:19 PM on August 21, 2010 There are
a few ways you could do this, but when i'm painting finished wood i've gotten
the best results from a light sanding then sealing with shellac(Specific zinsser
link as while i second seanmpuckett here, just realize that they've got dozens
of different primers and sealants)Before painting. Generally, oilbased enamel
will give a more durable finish, but the tradeoff is needing paint thinner
rather than water for cleanup, stronger odor, and slower drying time.Regardless
of paint type, the secret to a longerlasting finish is not glopping on paint and
trying to cover everything completely at once, but doing two(Or even
more)Thinner coats of whatever finish you choose allowing at least several
hours(Ideally overnight)Drying between coats i'd probably do a satinfinish oil
in this case, and after the initial sanding/priming do three coats(Probably
overkill, but that's how i paint)With light sanding after the first two. Posted

that method to paint many a massproduced garage sale find.I've only started
doing it over the last 5 years or so, so i can't assure you that it would be
permanent, but it's good enough for a few $5 side chairs. I've used latex paint
and it's been fine, btw.Regular christian louboutin soldes
interior"Wall paint"Is fine unless you want to go into professional furniture
restoration. Also agree with jalaxei about a couple or three light coats. Posted

Seanmpuckett no
doubt has the right way to do this, and it really does depend on the results you
want.What has happened to me though, is once you start sanding this kind of
furniture, you get little 'beeds' all over it.I guess that is lacquer, but it is
definitely a pain so, unless it is already coming off, i leave it alone. I guess
it depends on how much work you want to do(I'm lazy), how many tools you have(I
find it easy to spend more on diy stuff than premium items would have cost)And,
for me hardest to deal with, whether or not you have a place to keep the works
in progress. Really good furniture, well taken care of should last for almost
forever. (I've got some things i try to treat that well. )Things from target or
ikea won't no matter what you do.With my garage sale finds(And gifts for college
students), rough painting will make it four years, it seems.And doing it twice
before they fall apart isn't that big a deal.But, yeah, it does depend on what
you want. (I don't like latex paints, obviously because i don't prep the wood
well enough. ) Posted by some1 at 6:52 PM on August 21, 2010 For a washedout /
shabby chic / objets trouve / scandanavian look why not sand them kind of
approximately and then apply a wash of emulsion or waterbased eggshell you've
probably got half a tin somewhere, ideally in a white or offwhite.Dry in no time
and easy to do. Posted by tigrefacile at 8:29 PM on August 21, 2010 Some1:The
finish"Beads"I think you are describing are a technique issue. Friction heat
from rubbing hard fast softensThe finishand it gums up into blobs.A light touch
with the sandpaper, patience/going slow and a little dampness can help keep that
from happening.
