Hand Painted Furniture, Stretford.
This furniture was made by Hand Painted Kitchens of Christchurch.
As you can see it is made of tulipwood and MDF.
My client had several of these in the house which needed painting to the highest of standards.
One of the main issues with MDF is getting the surface to be absolutely glass smooth.
Fibres can raise significantly as the primer starts to dry.
There were some knots to deal with.
In this case I used a knotting solution followed by B.I.N. shellac primer.
However, having a great product knowledge, this was not an issue and the primer sanded back to a super smooth finish.
Once the furniture was primed, i Ifilled all of the nail holes and gaps. These were sanded back and spot primed over.
The furniture then gets a fine sanding back to ensure it is really smooth and has the right base to start painting on.
The dust is removed by vacuuming followed by a wipe down with a damp microfiber cloth.
The furniture then had two coats of Tikkurila Everal Aqua 10.
This gives a refined and subtle sheen.


In fact,the doors and drawers were taken away to my workshop to be painted horizontally.

The client wad extremely pleased with the result!

Im pushing the boundaries to give the perfect finish.


it is the care and attention to detail, coupled with over 20 years experience which produces results that speak for themselves!
