Should I prime furniture?
Getting furniture ready to paint is important, especially if you’re working with a surface which has been previously painted. In most cases, you’ll want to sand down and clean up the surface to give your paint the best chance of adhering. You’ll be able to find sanding blocks and associated products to help you get started in our Cleaning & Prep section.
For anyone who wants absolutely no fuss and wants to paint over existing paint and stain, you will want to get Owatrol ESP- Easy Surface Prep. It’s a primer that lets you prepare shinier surfaces, so things like kitchen cabinets which would need sanding down can forego needing so.
