Before painting, you must prepare the surface of the table. 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.
When painting tables it helps to turn it upside down, placing on a dust sheet, and start painting the legs. When they are dry, turn it the right way up and you are ready to paint the table top.
Use Furniture and Cupboard Paint and a brush to paint the legs and switch to a roller when you come to paint the top. If you want a multi-coloured effect, mask the sections that are 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!
