This Specialist Painted furniture in Didsbury was painted from bare wood.
It did have a few knots in it , but was sealed over twice to ensure that there would be no yellowing of knots showing through in the future.

The wood was primed first of all.The doors and drawers were taken to my workshop where all removable parts of furniture and kitchens are taken.
My go to primer is Tikkurila Otex.It is oil based.It has the ability of ensuring tannins do not bleed through in the future.On this particular project, tannins were not going to be an issue, but there is nothing like a belt and braces approach.This primer is an adhesion primer too,so it makes the furniture being painted virtually un-chippable.

Once the primer was on I used a grade 320 paper to gently and smoothly abrade the surface, getting rid of any imperfections.There were some slight areas to be filled, so these were sorted out using Toupret fine surface filler. These filled areas where also gently abraded and had been spot primed over.
After each successive coat, the paint gets gently rubbed down,vacuumed off and cleaned with a damp microfibre cloth.
Now its time for the top coat.
The paint used on this project was Tikkurila Everal Aqua 10.It’s a tough 10 percent sheen enamel.The colour- white.It had three coats over the white primer to make it a good solid white.
The in situ frame and carcass was painted using the same process as above .
The client was extremely pleased with the outcome of having a perfectly painted traditional wardrobe.This was befitting of this Didsbury house.

I also spray paint kitchens and furniture too if that’s an option you prefer.
