Step-by-Step Refinishing Instructions
-
Clean and De-Wax: Scrub the entire wooden frame with a mild degreaser or mineral spirits to remove decades of built-up furniture wax, oils, and dirt.
-
Light Surface Scuffing: Lightly sand exterior surfaces using medium-fine sandpaper (150–220 grit) to scuff the top clear coat, creating micro-grooves for paint adhesion without stripping the wood completely.
-
Apply Shellac-Based Primer: Apply one coat of stain-blocking shellac primer to prevent natural wood tannins from bleeding through the red paint layer.
-
Apply Paint and Clear Topcoat: Apply two thin, uniform coats of mineral, chalk, or acrylic enamel furniture paint, allowing proper drying time between coats. Finish with a clear matte or satin polyurethane topcoat for durability.
