Step 3: Make Repairs / Fill Hardware Holes (Optional) I personally like to rinse the surface with a clean wet rag after I clean it with a cleaner, just to make sure that the cleaner isn’t leaving a residue that will repel the paint as well. So, we want to scrub the surface to get all those things off of it before we paint. And then, our paint will easily scratch off or even peel off. So, wax, furniture polish, oils from our hands, stickers, dirt, grime and dust will all make our paint not stick.īasically, some of these things repel paint, while others just block the paint from sticking to the real surface. We want to remove everything that will make our paint not stick. I personally use Krud Kutter, but you can use dish soap mixed in warm soapy water, or TSP. Then, we need to clean our furniture with some sort of degreasing cleaner and a wet rag. Knobs and pulls are usually held on with screws from the inside of the drawers, so we just need to loosen those screws to remove the hardware. We’re going to paint this dresser and give it a new life! Step 1: Remove the hardware Beaten up, damaged a little bit…īut that’s okay. When you get up close to it, it might look similar to your furniture.
