Pure Red Hi-Gloss Paint and White Stripe Details-Extreme Furniture Makeover

By

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned how much I like red.

You guys know I like bright colors, but red……it’s a favorite from way back.

My mom loves red too. Could be hereditary.

I only have a few accent pieces in red in my home.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

I’m thinking I need a red room.

But more on that later.

Pure Red Hi-Gloss Paint and White Semi-Gloss Stripes

Anyone recognize this piece?

Do you recognize it now?

I asked for color and makeover opinions for this piece about a week ago.

I got lots of feedback.

I was thinking of matching the color as is but some of you didn’t like the brown and after looking at it some more I decided the same thing.

I think Chris leaned toward bright colors, Andrea and Linda suggested metallics, Ron wanted chalkboard paint, and someone mentioned a warm red.

That got me thinking about red…..bright, bold, in-your-face red……and bold contrasting white, white stripes.

The brown paint kind-of had a tacky feel to it like it never really cured.

I know the chest had to have been painted for a long time so I don’t know why it was tacky.

Anyway, I decided to prime it using my favorite Glidden Grey Primer.

Behr Enamel Pure Red

I went to Home Depot and picked out a Candy Apple Red sample thinking I would have paint mixed as usual.

The paint guy directed me to a stock Behr Interior/Exterior Enamel in Pure Red.

It was the perfect color!

Me and the paint guys have a great relationship.

They’re almost family.

Rust-Oleum Spray Paint

 

I selected a gloss white spray paint by Rust-Oleum for the original hardware.

 

3m Edgelock Painters Tape

I used two coats of the Pure Red but honestly one coat covered great. I’m a two coat gal.

For the stripes I measured and marked with a pencil then used Scotch Blue 3M Edge-Lock tape for a nice straight line.

Notice how nice and straight those lines are with no paint leakage.

The 3m Edge-Lock worked great.

Bright, Bold, and Beautiful if I do say so myself.

Ok, so what do you guys think about the after?

Do you like the stripes?

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week,

The Scotch Blue Edge-Lock Painters Tape was sent to me by 3M. I was not compensated monetarily for this post. All opinions are mine and I only post about products I personally like and use. All other products used in this furniture makeover were purchased by me!

  1. I really like the red dresser. I am always asking you for advise and you have helped me in so many ways with my painting as I have told you that I am just learning about painting furniture. I wanted to ask if you hand painted the red or spray painted. I have painted with the high gloss in red and found that it is very sticky and I had a lot of brush marks, so what did you do to avoid the brush strokes?
    Thank you once again for your info.
