How to effectively seal a blue painted dresser for high-traffic durability?
To make sure your blue painted dresser lasts through daily use, it’s important to properly seal the paint. This won’t just protect the color from chipping or fading but also make it easier to clean if there are any spills or accidents.
Here are some steps to effectively seal your blue painted dresser for durability:
- Start with a clean surface – Use a mild soap and water mix to get rid of any dirt or debris before painting. For a detailed guide, here’s how to clean furniture before painting.
- Sand the surface – Lightly sand the whole dresser with fine grit sandpaper to create a smooth surface for the paint. To learn the importance of sanding furniture, here’s our post on sanding before painting furniture!
- Apply a primer – This helps the paint stick better and prevents any old stains or finishes from showing through. Here’s our list of the best primers for painting furniture to help you decide which primer is best for your next project.
- Paint with multiple coats – For best results, apply two to three coats of paint, letting each coat dry completely before adding another. Check out our types of paint for furniture post to help you choose the right paint for your blue painted dressers
- Choose a durable topcoat – Go for a polyurethane or polycrylic sealant in a satin or matte finish to add durability and protect against scratches and stains. Here’s all about sealing painted furniture and the different types of topcoats for painting furniture that you can use and how to choose the right one for your project.
Following these steps, your blue painted dresser will look great and withstand everyday use for years!
