If you don’t have a cedar chest, you can find vintage Cavalier, Ed Roos, and Lane cedar chests at flea markets and thrift stores. The chests may be in great shape, or they could be a mess after years of use. It’s okay to paint these pieces, and I have a lot of ideas for you.

Use any good brand of paint that includes the primer or prime the chest first and then paint it. You say you want to paint it white but select a color that is not white white, definitely an off white without a yellow undertone. Compare paint chips at a home improvement store. Happy Painting.
I have a Mediterranean style Lane chest that I’d like to paint white. Any suggestions?
