If you use latex paint you will need to do a little sanding and priming. If you use chalk paint you don't need to prime. Something that can be an issue, but does not happen with all furniture is bleed through. Sometimes mahogany furniture that is over 30+ yrs old can bled through the paint. I have only had this happen a few times, but if you are using white paint it shows up like crazy. If you notice this happening you need to use a shelac to seal the paint before you put anymore coats on. I used Zinsser Clear Shellac Spray as do many other people. It dries fast and will resolve the bleed through problem. The reason I mention it is that I had this happen in a few little spots on this dresser. Anywhere the finish was scratched before painting I had red mahogany stain pop through.<br />If you have anymore questions as you dive in, please feel free to ask!<br />Happy Painting!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16706678857898048158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592552654959528450.post-27586752250676653422014-02-13T14:06:42.893-08:002014-02-13T14:06:42.893-08:00I'm very, VERY new to all this but this is the...I'm very, VERY new to all this but this is the most beautiful work and inspired me to do something similar to an old lowboy in my garage!
