Before painting furniture with Fusion Mineral Paint, there are a few things you should know to ensure the best possible results.
First, make sure the surface of the furniture is clean and free of any dirt or debris. This will help the paint adhere properly to the surface. We suggest using Fusion’s TSP Alternative. (more about how to use TSP Alternative here)
Next, sand the furniture to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to. This will also help to remove any existing finishes or coatings on the furniture. We suggest using a 120-220 grit sand paper
If the furniture has any dents or scratches, you may want to fill them in with wood filler before sanding. This will help to create a smooth, even surface for the paint.
Once the furniture is clean and sanded, you can begin to apply the paint. Use a high-quality brush or microfibre roller to apply the paint in thin, even coats. Avoid applying too much paint at once, as this can cause drips and an uneven finish.
Allow the paint to dry completely between coats. Fusion Mineral Paint suggests waiting 2-4 hours in between coats of paint.
Finally, after the final coat of paint is dry, you may want to apply a topcoat to add additional protection if this is a high traffic area. (more about when to use a top coat here)
Overall, the key to successful painting with Fusion Mineral Paint is to take your time and prepare the surface properly before applying the paint. With the right preparation and technique, you can achieve beautiful, professional-looking results.
