Painting wood dining room chairs takes time and patience but I know the secret to speeding up the painting process.
THE SECRET TO PAINTING WOOD DINING CHAIRS
PAINTING THE WOOD CHAIRS
I used the HomeRight Finish Max Super Paint Sprayer to paint the chairs. I also painted two more chairs I had in the workshop. It took one hour to paint all 6 chairs.
The paint is Beyond paint and the color is Licorice. This is the first time I used the Beyond paint in a paint sprayer. To tell you the truth I wasn’t sure how or if it would work.
DISTRESSING THE PAINTED CHAIRS
Next, I sanded the paint with my Ryobi battery-powered sander. I distressed the chairs very heavily using 100 grit sandpaper. That wasn’t the original plan but it worked.
WAXING THE CHAIRS
After all of the distressing I used Howard’s Wax in neutral to cover the hazy look caused by the sanding. The wax also deepens the color of the wood. The Beyond Paint is a primer-paint-sealer all in one.
Now that the chairs are painted, distressed, and waxed, time to cover the seats.
