Primers are important for wood surfaces as they act as a bond coat, allowing the paint to adhere properly so it doesn’t chip or flake off down the line, as well as a few other things.

Topcoats such as polyurethane can also be used if a more durable finish.

Paint Sprayers

Paint sprayers make large projects get done faster, plus you can get a perfectly smooth, professional looking finish.

Sanding isn’t the funnest part of painting furniture, but it is very important because it helps your paint stick.

You can also use a sander to sand down to bare wood if there are a lot of scratches in the old finish.

Tools for Removing Paint

Tips for Choosing the Right Tools and Supplies

I hope you don’t feel the need to go out and buy ALL of these tools for your very first project.

Start with the basics.

There is a great link up there called the 10 must-have supplies when painting furniture. Start there!!

If you are positive you will settle for nothing less than a perfectly sprayed finish, pick up a paint sprayer.

But if you’re scared of using one, then you can skip that part for now.

If you are just starting out, and you are only painting your furniture, you don’t need to buy a power sander. You can sand by hand for now.

After you finish your first project, I’ll bet that there will be tools you wish you had. What one would have helped you the most? Buy that one for the next project.

I have been painting furniture full time since 2014. I started with the very basics, and slowly bought more and more supplies and tools to make painting easier on me.

If you don’t have much of a budget, start small.

If you know that you are picky about certain things, and have a little more to spend, grab the things that will make your project better for you!

Is it better to brush or roll paint on furniture?

This is a personal preference.

If you want to only use one tool, then I would suggest brushing the paint on.

But if you’re looking for a smooth finish with minimal strokes, then use a roller (and a brush to get into the details).

Also, keep in mind that some paints level out really well, and others will show all of the texture or brush marks from the tools you use.

With the right tools at your disposal such as brushes, rollers, HVLP paint sprayers or Wagner paint sprayers, you can make sure all your furniture painting projects turn out amazing!

And if ever faced with the need to remove old paint from wood surfaces, having access to quality sanding tools like a sander is essential in order for you to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

So don’t forget these important pieces when it comes time for any project involving painting furniture – they could just be what makes or breaks its success!
