Always understand that there are various tools which can be used to paint. They include spraying cans, foam rollers, and painting brushes. Consider using the following ideas just to make sure that you have nice looking furniture: 1.Distressing-Technique. This can be the first trick which will assist you in making the painted surface look great. It involves applying the paint on various layers, which are multiple for this case. This gives the surface a distressed look. You will be required to start by adding a paint coat. This should be followed by addition of another layer of paint in the form of a coat by the use of another color of paint. You might then be required to use a steel pad or sandpaper to scrape the first layer of paint on the edges lightly. At the end of the painting task, you can then add the sealant or any other protective cover on the painted surface." Buy Now, read in 30 minutes & Start Painting Your Furniture!
