I'm just unsure about the sanding part. This might sound a bit dumb but wouldn't the paint come off when you sand it? I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks!

I've been putting off re-painting a very large desk for our master bedroom/home office and this post has inspired me. It won't be as hard as I thought, just time-consuming! If I'm re-painting a piece that's less than 10 year old (it was bought as unfinished furniture and then my mom had it professionally painted), do I still need 2-3 coats of primer or will one do it?<br /><br />Thanks again!Stacey M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17853067907067641676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-81384493146234235462012-11-09T10:36:16.292-05:002012-11-09T10:36:16.292-05:00Thank you for explaining how I can use interior ho...Thank you for explaining how I can use interior house paint on my furniture.

I had bubbles on the first coat :( and now on the second coat too!! :( :( What is going on?? I'm getting frustrated with this project now, so if you have any ideas why I'm getting bubbles, I'd *really* appreciate it.

Do you typically sand your final coat of PAINT...meaning the last coat of paint that is applied before the Poly? <br /><br />Also, have you ever tried applying the Poly with a foam roller instead of a foam brush?

The only problem is that it has a laminate on the top. I'm thinking of painting all but the top and simply sanding and staining the edges a dark wood tone. Not sure what to do with the scratch on the laminate top though.ruatrublufannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-12471377134456179862011-06-11T00:48:16.557-04:002011-06-11T00:48:16.557-04:00This is great.

The legs on the table and chairs are similar to the legs on your desk and the table is oval shaped with scalloped edges. I'm also going to reupholster the chairs with a cheetah print fabric. Hopefully I'll be done by the end of the week and have the pictures posted on my blog, Maison Creole at http://maisoncreole.blogspot.com/.

I recently painted my boys' beds - cleaned, sanded and primed. However, I used spray paint and to my surprise, the paint "wrinkled" so I had to re-sand it down and do it again. Still the same result with the bubbling - have you ever had this problem with spray paint? Mind you, it was about 25 degrees in the garage at that time. I also used polycrilic - the same one above and used a foam brush and sanded but found that it was bubbly. In the end, I just sanded the whole bed back down and just painted it with a regular brush as the finish looked too yucky. Can I just leave a piece of furniture without finishing it off in polycrilic? Sorry for all the questions, I would be interested to hear how you tackled problems with painting.
