How To
To start, you'll need a few essential supplies:
- Graphite Chalk Paint®
- Clean, dry paintbrush
- Sandpaper
- Wax or other sealant
- Tape or drop cloth to protect surface
Once you've gathered your supplies, it's time to get started!
Step 1: Prep Your Space
Make sure your workspace is clean, well-ventilated, and protected from any drips or spills with a drop cloth or tape.
Step 2: Sand Your Surface
Give your dresser a light sanding, especially if it has any rough spots or imperfections. This will help the paint adhere better and create a smoother finish.
Step 3: Apply Your First Coat of Paint
Using your clean, dry paintbrush, apply a thin coat of Graphite Chalk Paint® to your surface. Be sure to use even strokes and cover the entire surface.
Allow your first coat to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 4: Apply Your Second Coat of Paint
Repeat step 3 with a second thin coat of paint. This will help ensure your dresser has a solid, even color.
Again, allow your second coat to dry completely before moving on.
Step 5: Sand Your Surface Again
Once your second coat of paint is dry, give your entire surface a light sanding to smooth out any bumps or rough spots.
Step 6: Apply Your Second Coat of Sealant
Using a clean, dry brush, apply a coat of wax or other sealant to your surface. This will help protect your dresser from wear and tear.
Step 7: Allow Your Dresser to Dry
Once your sealant is dry to the touch, your dresser is ready to enjoy!
