- Paint will not stick to a glossy finish, watch this video to learn how to paint glossy furniture without sanding off existing finish. The clearcoat step is not needed. I just put to protect due to high use. There is a risk of yellowing.

Clearest explanation and demonstration I've found on TH-cam! Thanks.
Thanks!! Your welcome glad it helped, thanks for watching
Queen Anne, Chippendale, and other formal furniture come to life when painted white.
Your vid just popped-up and it's the best I've seen for non-prep painting.
I use Zinsser 123 and BIN aerosol cans for priming. Not much primer per can (due to viscosity) but excellent coverage. Zinsser BIN primer is oil base BUT you can use H2O base paint after 48 hours.
Great, informative vid. What's your latest furniture project?

Finally! Someone with clear instructions! Thanks for putting all three products together.
thanks
Just did my dresser following your instructions. Came out beautiful and the whole project only took two days. Could have done it in a day but wanted to let the paint cure overnight. Thanks for posting, what a time saver.
Awesome! Glad to hear. Your welcome.
Were you able to take your dresser outside to do the spray paint? I'd like to do my dresser but it's so huge I can't get it outside. I've been told not to spray paint indoors.
Thank you very much. I have been searching for a while trying to find the right way to do a similar chair and got the runaround videos. This one has no long-winded stories or expensive supplies by sponsered companies. Just facts and proof. Love it. Now I can complete my project. Doing over my room to look like a castle and bought antique, detailed chairs, then got stuck on the right way to make them not look yellow/brown old. Keep up the good work. Peace to Dads Garage. Haha.
This is EXACTLY what I needed. I have 3 barstools and a shelving unit that are an out-dated 90’s light oak with that glossy finish. They don’t match anything in the house but the pieces are solid wood and I’d hate to get rid of them. I consulted with a contractor who did some work for me and he said I’d have to strip them and sand them before I can paint them 😳 That’s much more work than I want to put in and that’s when I came across this video. It’s going to save these barstools from a life of being tucked away in a storage unit. Thank you for the clear, concise information and the detailed instructions. You my friend are awesome.
thanks, good luck
I’m planning to redo my foyer table this weekend. I am so glad I watched your video first! You’ve saved me from SERIOUS aggravation. Clear and simple instructions. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
This video was so helpful. I researched for such a long time how to lacquer my furniture piece without sanding and nothing was as helpful as this was. I used all the products and methods you said to use and it works my piece looks beautiful. Thank you!!
awesome!!
I have done very similar with Woodglut designs.
thanks
@@RollingThruLife I'm glad you like it
Thank you for this video. Almost every furniture makeover video I see uses chalk paint. I love to see furniture shine! Thank you again.
Glad it was helpful!
I was thinking the same thing....everything is the matte finish of chalk paint or distressed and not what I was looking for. This is just what I want! I would assume for a dining set that this will clean up better than chalk paint.
This was sooo helpful! I have never painted furniture, walls, etc. in my life so I'm totally lost. Moving into a new apartment soon and want to repaint my futon. This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Hi, Your welcome. good luck with your project.
I've done this,great results! I used Rust-Oleum glossy protective enamel in the can type. Did my old hardwood kitchen floor with the Rust-Oleum,only had to lightly sand prior to painting
I told my husband I want to paint my son's headboard and he told me it's lacquered and going to take me months to sand it down. Here I am doing my research feeling lucky to find this video exact what I needed. thanks for saving my months of sanding!
Glad it helped, GL!
Finished product came out terrific. Thanks for the tips. Maybe invest in a mallet to better close those cans of primer and polyacrylic. Pro tip. For long term storage store your paint cans upside down to prevent air from getting in the can and drying the paint out.
thanks for tip
I'm so glad I came across this video. Thank you for your clear and easy to follow instructions. This is exactly what I needed to see before painting my table and chairs.
thanks, gl with project
Same! I have not started my project yet as it has been too cold. Did you complete your transformation?
You could also use very fine steel wool in place of sand paper in between each coat of primer and that would give it a lot smoother finish.
Cool. thanks
Thank you! Great explanation. This is how I’ve been doing but just wanted to make sure it was going to last.
To be honest, I can’t decide if I like the Zinsser 123 primer because it is super thin and is streaky and I don’t think it covers darker areas well enough. I personally feel like the Kilz2 Latex primer is best for coverage and it goes on much more smoothly. But that’s just my own experience.
Too, I love love love Polycrylic BUT it absolutely positively can leave a yucky yellow residue on white painted furniture. It doesn’t do it every single time but most of the time in my own experience. And I use thin coats and even tried sanding between. It changes the final crisp white color to a more dingy white. I’ve even had it turn some white paint so yellow that it looked like the piece of furniture had been in a smokers home 10 years.
So, I choose Polycrylic for every single top coat and every project IF I don’t paint it white. The poly is gorgeous over stain though! Wowzer!
I hope I’m not being too negative. I agree with your suggestions and appreciate them. I’m just saying from my experience with the Zinser123 primer and the Polycrylic, I’ve had some inconsistent results. So, I use them but I prefer a different primer typically. That’s all.
yes it is thin and streaky, that why i ha to do 2 coat and a little sand, and yes the poly is not needed an can cause yellowing
So what do you do to protect?
@@marywilson7364 since he/she didn't respond, the most likely answer is the counterpart to polycrylic...an oil-based polyurethane. Polycrylic is water-based so much easier cleanup. I didn't know till now that it may yellow...bummer, my project is white. :(
I’m so glad I saw your video. Your project is exactly the one I need to do. Our DR chairs look so similar, too! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I really appreciate it!
Your welcome, glad it helped, good luck with your project
Omg, I had watched this video several months ago and made just a few notes about it, listing just the products you used. I thought I would be able to remember everything at the point that I was ready to do my project. I just pulled my notes out and for the life of me I could not remember anything else about where they came from. I have spent the last 2- 3 hours searching the internet with the product names in hopes that I could figure it out. I thought I might have a screenshot somewhere so I looked on three different devices. It was so frustrating! Eventually I found my way back here and as soon as the video started, I knew I was in the right place. At any rate, thank you for posting it. I have a fireplace with a lot of ornate detail and the idea of sanding everything and cutting in with paint/a brush was overwhelming until I had seen your video. I will be getting started on this project soon. Nice work and thanks again.
thanks
Have you started your project yet? How did it go?
@@tatianaortiz9858 It ended up being a disaster but I blame myself. I totally thought I had Zinsser primer but it was Kilz and I only realized it after I had thoroughly primed my fireplace. Kilz doesn't claim to be a "no sanding necessary" primer but Zinsser does. Everything rests on that so my foundation was bad and caused subsequent issues with the regular paint practically falling off in spots. I debated whether or not to take it back down to the original finish but in most areas, it seemed okay. I am mentally prepared that someday I'll have to deal with it.
Also, another issue is that I had to spray paint on a horizontal surface (the top of the fireplace) and no matter how carefully I applied it, the spray left "shadows". I did about 3-4 coats hoping it would even out but it never totally did.
And...I spray painted inside bc the fireplace was too big to take outside. I put up plastic sheeting like a Dexter kill room but it still ended up getting on the floor and furniture on the other side of the room.
And unrelated to anything in the original post but maybe good to know too, I also had to brush paint a black area which butted up to the white spray painted area. Although I used blue painter's tape, it bled through badly. And to add insult to injury, when I pulled the tape off the white area, the white paint peeled off due to issue #1.
Some of us serve as an example and others serve as a warning! :S
@@l.p.9568 oh my goodness that sounds like my nightmare hahah. I've just started my own project. I've used 2 cans of white spray-paint on one nightstand. im not too sure if im doing it right but there's no looking back now!
That's some darn heavy duty chairs bro I love them.
Thank you for this I'm redoing my dresser and headboard and u just saved me so much time also great job on the table 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your welcome, and Thank you! Glad I helped someone, good luck with your project
buy the spray cans in 123--- b done in no time
Love it! About to tackle an antique set I got from my mother in law. I’m so scared to paint the wood but you’ve inspired me. She paid $3000.00 for it in an antique shop in 1989 so I hope I’m not making a mistake😳
Good luck
How did it go?😅😅
Neshma Henkel...I’ve only got 2 out of 6 chairs done. The hand sanding is brutal in the ornate parts on the legs. They look amazing though!
pollydonahoe worth it then ✨✨
Nice job, thank you for the tip it’s exactly what I was looking for. I have a wife’s to do list with a furniture repainting project on it.
thanks, glad it helped, good luck on projects!
This is the easiest way and most efficient way to do this. This video helped me a lot! Thank you for putting up this video!

Finally the best video for beginners👍 Thank you!!!
thanks
I followed your directions and saved my ivory colored glossy dining room chairs. Found a color paint that matched the china cabinet and table. Turned out GREAT! Thanks. Going to do my headboard and dressers next.
Awesome! glad I helped. Please subscribe if haven't already, thanks!
Thank you for being so specific! The best demonstration on TH-cam!!
thanks!!
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the clear and precise steps/directions.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Came across this video @ the right time. The Rustoleum is 4 & 5 times that amount of money here. Hope I do as good a job as you.
glad it helped GL
Thank you. You've helped me resolve my problem. I thought of throwing out the chairs, but not now. Thank you again. Very helpful and great job
Glad I could help!
OMG, I thought I was the only one to use Zinsser for painting furniture. I like to brush on the Zinsser Bulls Eye Primer Sealer Stain-Killer. Sometimes when you try to paint over furniture stained from the 1940's & 1950's, the stain seeps through every product except for my Zinsser. And the best part is it is water-based and drys in one hour. Of course I light sand before the second coat.

Thank you for this video! I followed your instructions and my table came out perfect!!!!
Your welcome! So glad to hear, that's great! It's very gratifying when you do it yourself, and the fact that you did it yourself you will love it even more,
Thankyou!! I did exactly what you said and my chairs look like new!!! Except my chairs I did black and bought a nice bench for my dinning table and it looks like I got a new dinning set!!! Thankyou so much!!
AWESOME!!
I prefer to build with woodprix plans.
thanks
@@RollingThruLife Welcome my friend!
For FINAL FINISH paint, I butter the paint in wth a a Top quality white mini sponge roller then feather brush brush in the paint with a GOOD nylon brush then roll it back in with the same a lightly covered sponge pain roller.. Then use polycrylic sealer apply it the same way way Simple NO MESSY SPRAYING NEEDED
THANK YOU! Finally what I was looking for! Also, thank you for showing the products you are using! Great video!
In my first work I always used Woodglut plans.
thanks
@@RollingThruLife 👌👌
This was great thank you! Saves so much trouble.
Thanks man.. very helpful.. can you tell me how to wood stain over the primer.. which is good? Thanks
Thank you. You made this so easy to understand and I can't wait to get busy. No more fear!
Your welcome! Yea, trying to completely sand entire finish off is alot of work. Good luck! Refinishing is very gratifying when you see that final product
Hi, Great job!!!!, Would like to know how many rust-oleum bottles did you use for the entire proyect??
Hi, thanks, I think it was 4 cans to do 4 chairs and table(not table top)
My husband can’t find exact products, .... going to try different products and hope for the best ❤️ thank you for this video
thanks, GL
I sure wish I had listened to this before I painted my high gloss chair. I used TSP and them spray painted without primer. The paint did not stick well.
This was the first video I watched, and you made it easy to understand and redo my kitchen chairs. Thanks!
glad it helped
I agree that Zinsser is awesome I have used that before . I want to use a high gloss white paint on my bedroom suite but I would have to use SO many cans - 🤔. At about $12 a can here in Australia. 😱😢 I don’t want to use a brush. But might have to so it’s cost affective
thnks
Thank you! You gave me all the information I was looking for to do my projects! :) GREAT video.
Thank you so much sir for this great information - my polyurethane coat turned yellow on white chalk paint and now I know how to fix it. Appreciate you.
Hi, in this vid, i did a light coat of poly and yes it was yellow at first but cleared once dried. The poly isn't really needed though.
Great tutorial! I will be using this method on an old rocking chair in dire need of overhaul. I just discovered your channel this morning and am looking forward to checking out additional “how to’s” you may have posted. Hoping there is one on how to reupholster a chair seat since you mentioned in this video that you had done it on your chairs. Thanks!!
Thanks !
THANK YOU! Simple, precise, and to the point.
You're welcome!
@@RollingThruLife - My project had an epoxy sealant. I had to sand it a bit to remove the shine. After that, - I was good to go. This definitely helped me out a lot. Thanks again
@@TheUnity312 great
Looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
thanks.
I liked this video very much! Very helpful and I'll start working on my dining furniture now that I know what products I need. I click the thumbs up already and went through your channel. Saw the video about lacking subscribers to get monetized so I subscribed! Hope you reach a thousand soon!
Thank you! Glad I helped. I appreciate it. Good luck on your project
This is a good video most of the "no sanding" videos either use stripper and then sand anyway or sand and use chalk paint.
thanks
I was thinking about redoing a toddler bed THANK YOU for posting this what a life saver
Melissa Rivera that’s exactly what I’m thinking of doing! Have you tried it yet?
Kassy Madland haha no 😭 I really want to but it’s a big project but if I ever do I’ll record it and post it!
thanks
Well done! Exactly the info and help I was looking for to repaint some old wooden chairs. Thanks!
If my chair are Matt painted do I still the the 123 primer before I spray paint. And if I have 4 chairs how much cans of rust oleum do I need to spray all.
thanks
Thank you SO much for this video and your super clear instructions! May I please ask, as much as I would LOVE to spray paint, I am painting a massive armoire (too heavy to move and is located in my bedroom). Can you recommend another type of paint I can paint with?
This also comes in a can for brush or roller use. thanks
Excellent video, valuable information! Your table and chair is so beautiful!
thanks
Beautiful, thanks for the video, I’m ready now to repaint my white kitchen table
Thanks GL!
Hey what a beautiful job on the table and chairs. I want to paint this old furniture set and needed to know what to do about the glossy finish. Sanding seem like too much time consuming. I will try to pick up your idea of primer and spray paint with gloss finish. Thank you 🙏
thanks good luck
Nice. The bare wood top and white legs looks really good together.
It does! appreciate it
I'm glad I came across your video. I have a 6 piece bedroom set I'd like to makeover. From its regular wood gloss color to a matte taupe. Wish me luck!! 🤣 will try and record my work and final result😎
Good luck
Lovley job mate well done, thats my weekend sorted thanks buddy.
great thanks
‘Ok we’re going to paint furniture without sanding, but first let’s sand all this furniture, primer 2xs, sand again, paint, sand, seal, sand, then we’re just going to sand it all down for good measure.’ 😉
It all came out gorgeous! Good job! 💕
The very light spot sanding that I did just to ensure smooth which took zero effort and 1 minute is NOTHING compared to having to SAND OFF ENTIRE ORIGINAL FINISH! Thanks
Yes, I know. I’m just teasing. It looks gorgeous. Great job!
Thank you, thank you. Great video. You answered my question regarding applying poly after restoleum 2x spray paint. 🥰
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for that simple and straight forward explanation. :)
Your welcome, Gl on your project
I apologize if this has been asked, but how far in between should you apply the coats? Like prime then wait how long to do the second coat?
Awesome!! Thanks for the help! I’m super excited for my next project!
Also chalk paint u don't have to worry about brush marks your suppose to use in different directions and you can put a clear coat to get rid of the mat finish or you can wax it
Great video! Love the list at the end! So helpful for beginners like me!😀
Thanks, glad I helped. Please subscribe and check out my other vids.
Excellent step by step video. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Can I use these products for outdoor wood furniture too?
Your table and chairs turned out great!
Yes I believe it is exterior as well, just check can. I know the primer can be used for outdoor, you just need an exterior pant
Thanks great explanation looks great. looking forward to doing my table now I know how.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your video and tips! I have been repainting with spray paint all my patio furniture and decided to paint a rusty metal more modern side table. I unfortunately went with Rustolium in a can (not spray paint). Now I know what you mean about not using a brush on furniture. Spary paint is the way to go! I have one more coat to paint and then I want to paint a design over the gloss. I have a question for you, can I use acrylic gloss paint, on the oil based Rustolium?
Glad I could help!,
Great video, exactly what I was looking for, thank you! How do you achieve a smooth finish with the spray paint? In my experience you get drips or ares where the paint is 'running'
Hi, if your getting runs/drips with spray paint your putting too much in one spot, basically your too close with the can and/ or moving to slow. You want to be like a good 6" away and do multiple passes back and forth till good coverage
Thank you so much!!!!!! I was stressing over a piece I’m redoing.
What was the sandpaper grit number that you used to sand in between coats. Great video, clear instructions,just need the sandpaper grit info. Thanks.
Hi, in my experience 000 grain paper works good
thanks, a 180 should be good
So glad I found this and I just love your floors!
Thanks so much 😊
I was so looking for something just like it for my chairs thank you
great video, this is my next weekend project and your video is going to save my time!
thanks glad it helped! GL on your project, please subscribe if you haven't already.
Great work. I have exact same dinning set. How did you refinish the table top?
The top I sanded down to the bare wood, applied 2 coats of stain, then 2 coats of clear polyurethane.
Thanks a ton, I will do this on my kitchen cabinets.
Good luck
Rad! Easy to follow tutorials. Thank you!!
thanks! your welcome, glad it helped
Awesome video. Gave me lots of clear answers to my long questions. Appreciate your hard efforts. I still wonder what would be best to apply the minwax top coat finish. Thanks a lot. I subscribed.
Hi, thanks..Are you asking if clear coat is needed, or what would be best way to apply it?? The clear coat wasn't necessary, I just put it on the chairs for a little extra protection since they get alot of use (i have 2 teenagers).
Can the Zinsser be applied with a sprayer? Great video...just what I'm looking for. I have 90's white farmhouse table with white tile top and 6 chairs (with blonde seats). Time for an update!
not sure, try asking at store
Very nice! Thanks for this explanation.
GLad it helped
Thanks! This video was great, and much needed!
glad it helped
Thank you so much for the information. I have never painted furniture. I would live for you to demonstrate your spraying technique and also did you use a brush for the last step...the clear gloss?
thanks, yes brush, clear isnt needed, was just n extra step
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing. How is the polycrylic finish holding up on your chairs? Also, is there a video on your table top? I'm doing the same to my table and chairs now & would love to see your table!
I put very little but its still good. No, the table was same finish as chairs, i sanded down to wood to see the grain lines, stained, then clear coated the top. The base I did same as chairs, right over the finish, thanks
Did You make it with woodprix?
I don;t know what woodprix is
@@RollingThruLife woodprix includes very useful instructions with all details I need
.
Trolls, that's what!
@@freewaybaby Plans are very good.
Loved this video! So clear in explaining what to do! Just curious what grit you used to smooth down some of the rough spots?
180-220
How many coats of the protective finish did u apply? Thanks!!! I enjoyed this video!
just a light 1, not really needed though, there is a risk of yellowing.
@@RollingThruLife i did a colonial red, so i think I am ok with the yellowing:) thanks for the info!
@@RollingThruLife I've used this in the past without yellowing.
I started with Woodglut plans.
thanks
how many cans of the spray paint did you use for your whole project?
I think it was 4-5 cans to do 6 chairs and table(apron and legs only), 1 good coat and a light 2nd on some spots that were thin
You can buy primers in a spray can too. No need to brush and fiddle around with the primer.
thanks
good combo, just what I was looking for thanks.
Thanks!, Good luck with your project.
Thank you very much for this information!
Glad it was helpful!
How have they held up? I’m doing exactly this, using all your recommendations, just minus sprayer (brush) but will be spraying the water based poly to finish off! Please let me know if ud recommend anything diff than what’s in this vid, based on 3 years of wear? Thx!!!! Just subscribed!
Stayed nice! poly at end isnt really needed, . can risk yellowing.
You did such an awesome job!😍
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you for sharing this video makes the project look less intimidating my question is I have a similar pine table and 6 chairs. I want to paint the legs and apron distressed black, chairs in Heritage Red. Do I still use the white 1 2 3 primer? Thank you!
The primer lets the paint bond, without it the paint wont stick to a glossy finish. I m pretty sure white is the only color primer comes in.
With the table top could you use paint the same way as you did the chairs? or would it come off?
Yes, the primer will adhere to any surface, then you can paint.
