Metallic Spray Paint Works On Furniture And Drawer Pulls

I love metallic spray paints. My favorites right now are silver and gold. I normally don’t like to use spray paint on furniture but I do have a few exceptions. Painting parts of the furniture like drawer fronts or legs seems to work pretty well with spray paint. Spray painting the whole piece doesn’t work very well. This table project I have today has a couple of metallic spray paint colors in the makeover and I have to say the table is a winner.
This post is short and sweet with not too many photos and “talking”! You’ll have to let me know what you think about the finished look and if you have ever used spray paint on furniture.
The table looks really impressive with the silver metallic drawer and the gold knob. All sassy and classy at the same time.
The project piece is a sad little table that needed a lot of love. The JTS bought it at an auction. I think he said he paid $2 for it. Can’t beat that.
I primed the drawer front with Rustoleum Gray Primer then used spray paint from Walmart, Aluminum color. I used the gray primer because it is a great base for silver paint. You don’t have to use as much spray paint! I’ve bought several brands and colors of silver spray paint but this silver is my favorite right now.
I painted the original hardware with RustOleum Metallic Pure Gold spray paint (find it here on Amazon). The body of the table is painted with Reclaim paint in off-white. No distressing on this piece. I know that’s hard to believe!
This little table looks so much better and it says “Glitz and Glamour” to me without being over the top. I’m not a fan of using spray paint for a complete furniture makeover but a bit on drawer fronts or other details is fine in my book. I find when trying to paint a big piece with spray paint that there are dark and light spots. Not sure how to describe it but like the paint was sprayed heavier in one area making it darker?
I staged the photos using several pieces from my vintage lamp collection (stash). I have a weakness for glass lamps.
The turquoise nightstand above has silver drawers too. You can find that project here…Spray Paint Furniture Metallic Silver And Add Turquoise To The Mix

I’m loving the classy silver drawer! Thank you ? so much for sharing this can be done with spray paint! I have several cans of metallic spray paints….now I know what I can do with them!
That little table went from Yuck! to Wonderful!! The drawer pull is amazing but it got lost in all the brown of the table until you painted it gold. The table is now very elegant and classy. Love it!
Cute! I like trying different styles like this.
Simple Awesome!
we redid our kitchen quite awhile ago and painted all the door hinges and knobs and back plates. I used Rustoleum hmmered silver. It turned out beautiful and is still in great condition! Love the things you do!
Id like to hear more about drawers. How to finish.. And inside fixes.
What a gorgeous piece. You did a beautiful job.
LOVE what you did to this table. It looks fabulous…………
Great job.

Kathy, I LOVE what you did with little table. I think it’s my favorite of all the posts. It’s just so simple and elegant with it’s silver drawer against the white. Great example of glitz. I love vintage rhinestone jewelry, too. Could be fun to use some rhinestones on a piece of furniture. Just a touch of the sparkle could be really elegant.
I would have never guessed this piece was yours, Kathy. Whaaaaat, no distressing or chippy finish!!! It’s a beautiful makeover and I love the metallic drawer front and gold painted pull. You really stepped out of your comfort zone on this one and it shows your range of furniture makeover talent – beautiful! Pinning to share 🙂
What a gorgeous table! I love the color combination that you used and especially love the pretty gold pull. Great job on your video as well!
Perfect makeover for that pretty table! The color combination was jut right. Such a good save on that poor beat up piece! Pinned 🙂
It’s just gorgeous, Kathy! And I have never seen a drawer pull like that – so cool!
Kathy, this little table is just the sweetest makeover! So very perfect for glitz and glamour and not over the top!!!
Love it!

She is gorgeous Kathy! I just passed up a pair of these tables! Now I wish I would have picked them up!
Kathy,
I love the glitz you added to your piece. This sweet auction table is now a glamour star ready to take her place in her forever home.
Happy Creating,

Kathy,
I love your combo of colors on this table. I’m also excited to learn about your fav color of spray silver and the brand of off-white on the body. I’ll be trying both of these very soon. Great makeover. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks.
