    I love this piece. It is GORGEOUS, would love to have a piece like that. Thanks for the sprayer top because I just bought a Wagner sprayer and have been afraid to use it 🥴. Still somewhat intimidated with it but think I will give it a shot this up coming week. Thanks for all the helpful tips. I love watching your videos as I do pick up so much from them. Thanks again and have a blessed evening 🙏🏻😊.

    Let me suggest that you use a product called Flotrol rather than water, available in similar product labels at big box stores. Flotrol is designed specifically to improve flo without watering down the paint and therefore diluting benefits. I've use this product for 50+ years. I think you'll find the results much more to your liking.

    I'll say this now for anyone using this type of spray gun if you spray it and nothing comes out after using it 3 or so times check the pump area they get clogged super easy with dry paint build up and I've fixed 100s of these and sold them after people returned them (Amazon pallet buy usually quick fixes and easy money returns) because they thought they were broken, when all it takes is a 15min tear down and it's fixed. Good luck with the job look forward to seeing what you come up with I'm in lock down in Australia and I've been re doing everything I can find wife is loving and hating it at the same time hahahaha.

Such a good investment! Yankee Blue for the win! My best tip for paint sprayers - clean all your parts and than clean them again - I use a reusable STRAW cleaner brush and a baby BOTTLE brush - just getting into every nook and cranny.

    Love it! This is my favorite so far. I prefer to use my sprayer most of the time to get a “factory finish” that I can only seem to get using a sprayer. I use a cheap tent outside when spraying and I need to protect my work (from falling leaves) and in the workshop; with 3 to 5 minutes, a ladder, some clear plastic and a staple gun I can easily make a “paintbooth” hung from the rafters to protect from overspray. The key to proficiency is practice practice practice! Start on smaller, inexpensive projects first, so you are not overwhelmed by the size or the stress of having ruined a prized possession.

  • @phyllisc8059

  • @RsJaneP

    Looks fantastic! I must ask though, how did you address the front side edges of the drawers? I know they don’t show when closed, but it would bother me to see the original espresso stain colour every time I open a drawer. Also, is there any paint build-up in the spaces between drawers since you left them in to paint? I’ve always removed drawers to paint but that was just for brushing, not spraying.

      Or cheap plastic Walmart is cheapest 3pack plastic liner is like 1.28 if u want a reusable get thicker plastic like $5-6 for 1-2 grab 1x2 firing strips staple plastic to strips kind of making a wall pulled tight then stand up 1x2 board and screw into stud if u have unfinished garage etc or just make a full square frame with 1x2 then cover it with plastic under an hr u got a booth and with think plastic u can reuse it’

    I just got a sprayer and watched your videos for some tips, since I've never used one before. Now I'm getting excited.

    I love how this turned out. I used to do my projects with brushes and I love my Wagner sprayer. It gives such a smooth finish, and takes up less time. My tip is always make sure you spray something before you spray your projects I learned the hard way on a couple of mine.

    can't wait to spray my first piece! I feel so much more prepared now that I've watched your video for beginners!

    Ugh, I always have issues with my Wagner, but I'll try again! Love DBs gilding waxes for stencils, then come out so clear.

    It already had a nice color to begin with. The spraying looks good.

    The copper goes well with the black. I think that definitely was the best choice.

    I’m learning so much by watching Christina. I’ve ordered Dixie belle products over the last week or so and the gator hide is pretty awesome. Thank you Christina and Dixie Belle, painting is really helping me relax and focus during a tough time.

    I haven’t used a sprayer yet, but as a newbie furniture painter, the tips and tricks have been really helpful.

    Missed you glad you are back. To me black is soooo hard to get good results but now I think I’m going to try that sprayer I bought a year ago and is still in the box!
    What an elegant understated piece you created….love it!

    I've always been intimidated by spraying but I believe after watching this video I am going to jump right in and purchase a Wagner 3000. I absolutely love the finish u got on the chest. I also haven't tried Dixie but I love the look of it. Thx.

    I've never use a sprayer before or finished any furniture but I do have 3 dressers that I need to redo just trying to learn how with some videos and I love all the paints from Dixie Bell they have so many pretty colors you make it look so easy I just hope mine dressers look that nice.

    Thank You for this tutorial! I've only sprayed once and I didn't like it? But, now I know what I did wrong and I'm going to try again! 😀 I love the idea of spraying the Gator Hide, it looks great.

    I just bought a sprayer because brushing and rolling in this summer heat is brutal! I looked up this video that I saw several times scrolling through TH-cam. You did an amazing job and I'm now ready to get started. Thank you so much!

    Thanks for sharing, your timing is perfect! Tomorrow is the day! I received a Graco360 for a birthday gift. I'm doing a dresser, and a road side find of 2 side tables and a coffee table. I too love the gilding wax, it's a miracle in a jar! Thank you for the inspiration!

    I love that copper hardware! I’m still a beginner and have only used a paint brush, but eventually I’ll break down and get a sprayer!
