If you’re looking to give your home a fresh new look, why not start with a coat of paint? We’ll show you how to prep a wooden chair for painting, so you can get started on your project right away.
First, remove any cushions or seat covers from the chair. Then, use a screwdriver to remove any hardware, such as knobs or handles. Next, sand the chair with medium-grit sandpaper to create a smooth surface.
Once the chair is sanded, wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Now you’re ready to prime the chair. Apply a layer of primer with a brush or roller, making sure to cover all surfaces evenly.
Let the primer dry completely, then apply a coat of paint. Again, use a brush or roller to apply the paint evenly. Let the paint dry completely before adding any additional coats.
Once you’re happy with the final result, reattach any hardware and add new cushions or seat covers. Enjoy your newly painted chair!
