Tips for Painting Furniture Dark Blue

To help you on your DIY journey, here are some essential tips for painting furniture dark blue. First, start by thoroughly cleaning and sanding your piece to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to.

Next, apply a high-quality primer, like BIN shellac primer (your hardware store can tint it to a medium blue color to make it easier to paint a dark blue paint over it!) which will not only improve paint adhesion but also stop stains from bleeding through.

Apply multiple thin coats of paint, allowing each layer to dry completely before moving on to the next.
