How would I go about painting a finished piece of furniture? What ...

i understand that u don?t like the color of the oak. so y not stain it a deeper color instead of painting it? But it would b a lot of sanding. IF sanding isn?t really u?r cup of tea? then i would go w/ the Kilz/Bin/Zinseer primer? have them tint it the color that u would pick for the paint. B/c choc. brown will take several coats unless u have a primer. Make sure u have smooth strokes & don?t go cheap on the brush.. it really does matter.

Then u can 1 of 2 things.. go w/ a flat paint & then use a semi-gloss or gloss acrylic varnish over it? or go w/ a semi-gloss or gloss paint.

Kilz makes a paint that is pretty thick which mite work good on u?r furniture so u won?t have to use too many coats along w/ the primer.

Then when u r done, put a fan on it so it would dry esp. if it?s humid where u live b/c the humidity will prolong the drying time.

do the drawers OUT of the dresser & make sure u take the handles off. Make sure it is completely dry? not tacky b/4 u put the handles on OR clothes back in or anything on it.

have fun!
