I recently repainted my kitchen table black. I used oil based rustoleum paint with a foam brush. It takes a day or two to dry, but the finish is rock hard. And you can get it in satin, semi-gloss or high gloss, depending on how you want it to look. It also comes in sev. colors. Walmart has alot of colors available now.Can i spray paint this table with out it eventually chipping off?
Try spraying it with Krylon Fusion.
two coats of primer before the paint then lite coats of paint until its evenly covered this will prevent runs and drips allow at least 45 minutes between coats then a few coats of clear lacquer applied as stated above use good quality products
No, it will eventually chip. Now that that is said, making the paint job last as long as possible is mostly in the preparation. If the finish is glossy, but not chipped or scratched unduly you can use a product called liquid sandpaper instead of the sanding. Wipe it on and it will etch the old paint enough for the new paint to get a good grip. And do paint with several light coats to get the best effect.
It looks like it may have a glossy finish on it. You should lightly sand with 200 grit sand paper before painting to dull the finish. This will allow the new paint to stick better.
it's all in the prep! it chips cause it didnt adhear. the table needs to be light sanded for a job you'll be proud of. use a medium to fine grade sand paper and just sand a small spot to get the feel of what it will take. you're only trying to take off the shine, not expose bare wood. they have a chemicle deglosser out there that may work fine I just avoid them as I dont want any chance of a reaction with my paint. make sure to light sand even around the edges of the mirror. as I said paint bonding is important.
