How To Apply Clear Sealer With A Paint Sprayer

Sealer Application Using Paint Sprayer

Clear sealer application using paint sprayer tutorial. Did you know you can put a coat of sealer over paint using a paint sprayer? Well, you can. I did. I finally finished the pink piece I started earlier this month. I changed plans about a dozen times. Typical me.

This is my pink beauty with a stenciled chandelier design.

The chest started out like this.

I decided to use Behr paint in Diva Glam for the makeover. The paint was left over from an earlier project. More on that to come later!

As soon as the paint was dry I taped the chandelier stencil to the chest and used black paint to stencil the design. I waited until the black paint was dry then highlighted the stencil with silver metallic paint…..very lightly. Adding the other color to the stencil design keeps the look from being flat.

You may have noticed the hardware in the before photo. I decided to change hardware so I filled holes and drilled holes for the new hardware. I spray painted the knobs a gloss black. The bold pink/fuchsia called for a bold color contrast.

My first thought was to add white flowers to the chest and paint the hardware white. I’m glad I changed plans.

Sealer Application Using Paint Sprayer

After all the painting and stenciling was done I applied a clear sealer. The Diva Glam paint was in a flat finish and I wanted the piece to have a lot of shine. This is the first time I used my HomeRight Finish Max Paint Sprayer to  apply clear sealer. It worked like a charm. No brush strokes, no runs.

My sealer choice for this project was Minwax PolyAcrylic in gloss. I poured the sealer in the paint sprayer and started spraying. I applied two thin coats of sealer letting the first coat dry for an hour before applying the second coat of sealer.

The black knobs and stenciled chandelier really pop against the bright pink. I like contrast or either no contrast. Paint the knobs the same color as the furniture or go bold. That’s just my preference.

    • Hi, I checked the entries and you are entered for the giveaway. If you are already logged in to something,( don’t know how they figure that out) then you don’t need to enter your email address they already know who you are.

  5. I did not have to enter any email. I just clicked enter and then when I clicked on the box with 3 lines in it at top right, it showed I had an entry! Viola!

  6. Same here…maybe I misunderstood, were we allowed to enter each day? Wouldn’t your entry count change each day? I’m really grateful to have a shot at this, but it leads you to think that you have only entered once.

  7. I’m trying to enter the giveaway and the link takes me to Amazon to buy the product. Help and thanks

  10. Doesn’t the paint sprayer work wonders for clear coat Kathy! I use the HomeRight sprayer to seal all my pieces where I’ve used polyacrylic or tough coat. Works like a charm!
    Love the bright glam girl paint on this piece too. Is this for your granddaughter?

  12. Love the dresser. Would be so cute in any little girl’s room. My gds are really into princesses this year. Would love to have a HomeRight Paint Sprayer to do one for them along with several other projects I have lined up.

  13. What a darling dresser! How creative and a great way to use your HomeRight Paint Sprayer. So glad I saw your giveaway, my husband and I were discussing buying a paint sprayer just this afternoon!

  14. Would love to win the HomeRight Finish Max as I have lots of projects! I just gave myself the HomeRight Spray Tent for my birthday with the Painter’s Pyramids so I’d be ready to go!!! Thanks Kathy

  15. I’m impressed with the beautiful job HomeRight Max achieves. I’ve been begging my hubby for a sprayer (for the longest) maybe I’ll be lucky? One can dream ?

  16. Kathy, thanks for the info, I wasn’t sure of the results I would get using poly acrylic in my sprayer and your article really helped me complete my project! linking your post on my site for the Coral Branch Dresser project for my readers. Love the blog facelift by the way nice job!

  18. Such great tips!! A sprayer can make it so much easier and finished quicker, too! 🙂 Thank you for sharing with us at the #HomeMattersParty
