Question

painting lacquer furniture

I'm really tired of the old black lacquer bedroom set. How can it be refinished? It's black lacquer over particle board. Can I just paint it?

Yes, it can be painted. Lightly sand it, remove all the dust (clean it), prime it with a good bonding primer, and paint.

painting damaged walls

I need to paint walls in an old house. The original walls were plaster and we had to replace portions of some of the walls with drywall. The paint on the remaining plaster walls is pealing due to water damage. After I scrape the loose paint, is there a type of paint, or a product I can use to hide all the imperfections of the these walls?Read More

Paint Flow Problems

Is it just me getting old, or is the paint nowadays just plain lousy quality compared to say, in the 70s and 80s? I keep buying top-line paint from Kwal, DiamondVogel, SW, etc. but the stuff seems to roll on thin, and when I use oil-based enamal and brush it, all I get are brushmarks. Didn't used to be that way, and I'm using Chinese bristle brushes for the oil-paints tool. The paint just doesn't seem to flow like it used to.Read More
