Spray paint advice for complete newbie.
I am painting a couple of very old crappy furniture pieces and plan to use rust-oleum 2x . I have a few questions and I'm getting conflicting advice via google First, the two colors I plan to use are different finishes (one gloss, one satin). I have seen that the 2x clear finish over paint of a different finish is okay, but people argue whether gloss over satin or satin over gloss has a better end result. I don't care which finish I end up with, I just want it to all be (pretty much) the same. So gloss over satin, satin over gloss, or who cares it doesn't matter? My other question is primer related... it *says* Paint+Primer on the can, but how much should I trust that? One piece is wood veneer, the other is laminate. I will be sanding both pieces before I begin. My dad has lived in the same house for nearly 40 years and has everything from 40 grit to (I'm not joking, why would he even need this for anything he does?) 1000 grit, so they will be properly sanded. Primer, paint and clear coat will all be the same brand, because I'm used to working with makeup and I know that matching formulas give a much better finished product haha. Also- a big goal here is to save money where I can. So that's why I'm really hoping to need as little primer as possible haha. Thanks everyone! submitted by /u/KatiePotatie1986 [link] [comments]
