Instructions

  1. Prep Your Furniture for Painting

    • 1

      Remove large paint chips, debris or any residue on the furniture. Clean the furniture with a damp cloth and let dry before painting.

    • 2

      If the furniture can be disassembled and reassembled easily, for a more professional look, take the furniture apart to paint the pieces individually.

    • 3

      Per the spray paint instructions, begin painting the furniture. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the application process and dry time.

Tips & Warnings

  • Experiment with painting only the top or base of a table for an interesting look. Use stencils or different types of spray paint, such as crackling, matte or glossy finishes.

  • Try painting smaller pieces of furniture first, painting an entire dining room table may be overwhelming. Use your best judgment and inspiration from magazines.
