How to Paint Your Furniture (Step-by-step)

To prepare and paint your pieces with Upcycled & Co. Furniture Paint, simply:

1. Rub the piece all over with a medium grade Scotchbrite pad ensuring any grime is completely removed (you may need to sand some stubborn ingrained dirt) and any shine softened.
2. Repair, fill and sand any lumps or bumps if you want to.
3. Clean your entire piece well all over with a degreaser and wax remover (like Diggers Degreaser & Wax Remover available at Bunnings). This is to ensure any furniture polish, wax, oil, grime or dirt (including fly dirt)  that could be on your piece is removed completely. If your piece has previously had chalk paint and wax applied, you will need to sand the wax off well first, then degrease.
4. Apply one very sparse coat of paint all over your piece. Paint in all directions. You should be able to see through this coat easily, and it should dry pretty much as you're putting it on. Let this coat dry.
5. Between coats, rub your hand over the surface to discover any imperfections of dust you may have in the paint and gently rub out with Scotchbrite or 240 grit sandpaper. 
6. Wipe over with a damp cloth to remove sanding dust.
7. Now apply coats to cover (water paint down a little if you're getting brush marks).
8. Water your paint down slightly for your final coat. Thi will give you a smoother finish without brush marks. 

​You will only need to sand the surface if:
- The surface is dented, scratched and marked and you want a very smooth finish.
- Paint or varnish is flaking (sand those areas smooth).
- You are painting old shiny Formica (scuff with sandpaper first).

IMPORTANT: Always leave your piece for 7 days to cure (for the paint to fully harden) or 10 days in the cooler months before using it or putting anything on the surface. Keeping it in a room with a radiator heater on low for 24-48 hours will help with this process in the winter months or equally, in a sunny room or outside during the day in the warmer months.

DISCLAIMER: 
The colours on our online chart are as close as possible to the actuals. You may need to sand a surface if you have flaking paint or varnish or if the surface is particularly dented and marked and you want a smooth finish. Sometimes shiny surfaces can benefit from a quick scuff with sandpaper, however the way you apply the paint to these surfaces is usually the key.
