"Pro Tips"

• Before you start, protect your working area to
  prevent any damage and place your piece of
  furniture in the middle. Then, unscrew or cover
  any handles, knobs and hinges.
• If youre working on a large piece of furniture
  with flat surfaces, it might be quicker to use an
  electric sander for this step. You will still
  need some sand paper to hand, for any areas that
  are difficult to reach.
• If youre only painting the legs of a piece of
  furniture, it may be easier to place it upside
  down.If youre using a brand new roller, use a
  spray bottle to lightly coat your roller with
  water to help the roller to absorb more paint.
• To avoid streaks, use brushes and rollers that
  are suitable for painting wood.

Steps to follow

• For furniture that is already painted or
  varnished, create a smooth absorbent surface by
  giving it a gentle sand with medium grain
  sandpaper. Then wipe it down with a damp cloth
  and wait until the furniture is dry. If your
  furniture is uncoated, you can jump to step 4.
• Wipe the furniture down with degreaser and allow
  it to dry.
• Give it a second sand with fine grain sandpaper
  and remove any dust with a dry cloth, wipe it
  down again with degreaser and allow it to dry.
• Apply a coat of wood primer, using a small brush
  for the corners and a small roller for the larger
  surfaces. Dont forget to give your primer a good
  stir before using it!
• For the top color, apply 2 coats of satin finish
  paint evenly to avoid runs and sags. For a
  professional result, check the paint tin for
  drying times between coats and sand down lightly
  in between each layer.
