Selection of materials
Just as we carefully select clients for each craftsman, the materials for painting must be chosen carefully.:
- To preserve the texture of the wood, use tinted varnish.
- To mask defects - putty on wood
- For heat-treated wood, any interior paint is suitable.
Preparation for painting
Ideal conditions
Just like in our business, where every detail is important.:
- Temperature: +15-20°C
- Humidity: about 50%
Additional tips for painting
In addition to the main stages, it is worth considering several nuances that will help achieve a professional result. For example, when painting furniture with carved elements, use brushes of different sizes to carefully paint over all the recesses. For large flat surfaces, a roller that provides a uniform coating is better suited. Take your time, let each coat of paint dry well before applying the next one. This will prevent the formation of smudges and irregularities. If you want to create an antique effect, try using the dry brush technique, applying paint with light, barely noticeable movements.
Care of painted furniture
In order for your updated furniture to please you for many years, it is important to take proper care of it. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the paint to fade. Wipe the surfaces regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Use special furniture polishes to preserve the shine and protect the coating from scratches. If minor damage occurs, they can be easily repaired with a retouching pencil or matching paint.
Important steps:
- Study the paint instructions (as we study each order)
- Choose a primer in color (as we select the masters for the task)
- Do a trial coloring (as we test new directions)
- , Remove the old paint by sanding
