When painting a home, people usually ask a professional painter to do the on-site work, but many owners also want to know the steps of painting and what they need to pay attention to when painting. If you want to do it yourself, you can also learn it.

step:

  • If you want to paint the furniture yourself, you must first sand it with sandpaper. Choose the appropriate type of sandpaper according to the roughness and hardness of the wood surface.

  • When painting furniture, you need to adjust the consistency of the primer according to the density of the wood. Hardwood has a high density, so the paint can be thinner, while softwood needs to be thicker.

  • When painting, apply evenly along the grain of the wood, and avoid applying too thickly. After it is completely dry, sand it with sandpaper until it feels smooth and has no bumps. Wipe it several times with a damp soft cloth and finally wipe it dry.

  • Apply the second coat of paint to cover the first coat, then use wet sandpaper to gently and evenly sand the furniture along the direction of paint.

  • It means painting the furniture for the third coat of paint yourself, and then polishing it with finer water sandpaper dipped in water. Do not use too much force and polish evenly.

  • Paint the furniture for the final coat of paint. There is no need to sand it, just apply a layer of protective wax.

examine:

1. Check whether the surface to be painted has weathering, peeling and other damage, and then repair it to provide a solid base for the paint and enhance its adhesion.

2. When painting old, exposed wood, first scrape off the loose sawdust and polish the surface to form a flat, solid surface to increase the adhesion of the paint;

3. New wood should be sanded with fine sandpaper along its grain; after priming, it should be lightly sanded to remove sawdust brought by the primer;

4. Check whether there are cracks, gaps, dents and holes on the surface to be painted. These areas should be filled with caulking glue or other fillers.

Notes:

1. When purchasing products such as paint, you should first look at the larger brands, after all, larger brands offer more guarantees.

2. Secondly, you should pay attention to whether the paint contains lead, mercury and other substances that are harmful to the human body, and check whether the paint has a pungent odor. If it is too serious, it will cause many adverse effects on living in the room.

3. When painting furniture, you should pay attention to changes in air humidity. If the humidity is too high, the paint will dry very slowly, which will not only affect the progress of the project, but also the quality of the paint applied during decoration. If it is too dry, the paint will dry too quickly and cracks will appear, which will not be worth the loss.
