Have you found the perfect piece of furniture to refurbish? Are you overwhelmed by the different types of paint? When my son started going to school, I thought it would be nice for him to have his own desk in him room. I started looking around for a new desk but soon realized how expensive they were. I decided to check out a resale shop. The first store had the perfect little wood desk at a great price. I wanted it to be a surprise for his birthday.
I went to the hardware store and found his two favorite colors red and blue. I thought that any type of paint would be fine. Paint was paint, right? At least that’s what I thought. I spent days hiding in the garage painting his desk. He was very curious about what I could possibly be doing in the garage for so long. When I gave him his gift he was very excited. He loved the two-tone red and blue desk and still uses it today. However, things stick to it and it’s a little chipped. I hated how sticky the paint felt, and I knew there must be something better out there. Now that I have done my research, I know that not all paint is furniture paint.
I found Fusion Mineral Paint when I was reading another furniture painters blog. After watching some videos on YouTube about how well Fusion goes on furniture, I had to try it. Luckily, I found The Second Story Furniture Refinishing and Retail store that sells Fusion Mineral Paint and I bought it for my next piece.
This paint has made things so much easier since it is made for furniture. I don’t have to worry about a topcoat since it has a built-in topcoat, and it has a smooth finish. I have used this paint on several pieces and have also used the Stain and Finishing Oil. This brand makes painting furniture so easy, and they have all the tools you need. Before you start your project find the paint that works best on furniture and gives you the finish you are looking for. I think it’s time to find another desk for my youngest son.
Happy Painting,
