What kind of paint do you use on a dresser?

For furniture it's best to use a satin or semigloss finish in either a latex or an oil-based paint. Never leave primer unpainted. If you choose a latex paint, a latex primer is an excellent choice for most uses. It goes on easily and blocks most stains, but it doesn't have the odor of an oil-based primer.

Can you paint a dresser without sanding?

USE A LIQUID SANDER/DEGLOSSER Liquid sand paper/deglosser is probably the least known method to avoid sanding furniture. The liquid is applied to the surface. Then a chemical reaction occurs and grips onto the new paint you apply. It does smell, so it's best used in a well ventilated area.

Can you paint a wood dresser?

Note: It's perfectly fine, in fact preferable, to use a water-based paint over an oil-based primer. The oil-based primer is what will prevent stains from the wood or previous varnishes from seeping through. You don't want to use a water-based paint over an oil-based paint, however.

Can you spray paint a dresser?

You'll need a mask, sandpaper, primer, spray paint and a sealer, depending on the project. Much like other paint, spray paint has several different finish options, from flat to high gloss. Be sure to select the finish to fit your needs. For furniture, the higher the gloss, the easier it will be to clean.
