Step by step

  • Before painting, you must prepare the chair's surface. Use Easy Sand, a rub-on, rub-off liquid sandpaper which allows dust free preparation. Follow instructions on the bottle. You can also use sandpaper, but you must clean away dust and debris afterwards.
  • Using a brush or mini roller if appropriate, apply Furniture and Cupboard Paint to the surface of the chair. If you want a multi-coloured effect, mask the sections that to be painted second, and then swap when the first colour is dry, masking off the painted areas. Remember to use low-tack masking tape so the paint is not pulled off when you remove it.
  • Leave paint to dry, as per instructions of the tin, and then enjoy your new look furniture!
