How do I paint an oak dining table?
I have an oak dining table. It is relatively new and the finish is in great condition. I just don't like the color; it is very light. I looked into refinishing, but that sounds rather difficult. Would painting it be easier? Would I still have to completely remove the finish?
I really like the look of dark furniture, and I think I would like it painted black. Would I regret painting a nice solid oak table?
Thanks!
they both take about the same amount of work..just practice staining first if your going to do that instead of paint
to paint-sand down the finish..it doesnt have to be all gone just get rid of the top clear coat layer-put on a primer (since your going dark i want to say use a tinted one)-use some sand parer and lightly sand this so that there arent any brush strakes for the top coat-put on one or two coats of your chosen colour-put on a finsih sealing coat
staining/refinishing-sand it down until all the finish is gone-make sure you wipe the tabel down so their is no dust or dirt on it-aplly the stain using a brush following the grain-put on another coat, maybe even more if needed-put on a finish coat
* if you dont know how to stain just ask on here again:P
**personalyl i would regret painting the table..but whatever makes you happiest you should do:P plus if you paint it and regret it you can always and it down and refinish it
