Instructions
- Clean the dresser with a vacuum and your favorite cleaning solution. I like to use White Lightning TSP alternative.
- Scuff up the surface with medium grit sandpaper and wipe away any dust with a damp rag.
- Then apply the first coat of paint with your paint brush. Allow it to dry completely before adding the second coat of paint.
- Once the paint is fully dry, seal the paint with natural oils. This is especially important if you're using a dark color like black paint. let the dresser dry completely before putting it to use.
Notes
Seal black paint with natural oils. Big Mama’s Butta is an amazing sealer made from natural oils for chalk mineral-based paints. After applying a coat, the paint will take on a depth of color that is just gorgeous, especially black!
