How to Spray Paint Furniture

August 16, 2012 By BrightGreenDoor

This tutorial on How to Spray Paint Furniture will have you refinishing pieces left and right!How to Spray Paint Furniture

It all started when I was looking through my mom’s Ballard Designs catalog and found this Console for just a mere $799! **Contains affiliate links** I actually considered it because I loved it so much, but I realized spending $800 on a non-essential piece of furniture was not an option!
Green Painted Buffet
So I started searching Craigslist and found this buffet for $100 (I talked her down from $150).
Thrifted Buffet
Fast forward 6 months to last week when I decided to complete this bad boy! First I sanded and primed it.
How to Refinish Furniture
Then I got my walnut gel stain out and stained the top. Next I sealed it with Polycrilic. *Contains Affiliate Links*
How to Sand and Stain Furniture
Then I spray painted the drawers and doors with Rustoleum Satin Eden. The whole project took about 2 cans. Then I also coated them with Polycrilic.

Then I taped off the top and spray painted the buffet (and of course coated with Polycrilic).

Then I drilled some new holes to install new oil rubbed bronze hardware. It’s the same hardware I used  on the kitchen cabinets.

Here is the finished product! I am totally in love with my spray painted DIY refinished green buffet and can’t wait to use it in the kitchen! I was so antsy to see it that I actually carried lugged it in from the garage into the house all by myself! It will be fun to have a bright pop of color in the kitchen!

    I was wondering if you just used sand paper?

      I used an electric sander wherever I could, but now I just use citristrip and deglosser. So much easier! (and less messy). https://www.brightgreendoor.com/2013/04/how-i-strip-and-paint-gross-furniture.html

    I’m trying to fix up my dresser and I wanted to know if sand paper will be ok

      Definitely. It’s just more work than a electric sandpaper.

    I love your buffet! The color is amazing. Such a pretty shade of green.
