What happens here
Once the sanding is complete and the surface is cleaned, apply a grain filler (Renner 648) followed by a topcoat (Renner 851) using an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray gun, specifically an Apollo Precision-6. The video shows the application of a coral/pink colored finish. Ensure to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including a respirator and gloves. Apply the coatings in thin, even layers, allowing proper flash-off time between coats as recommended by the product manufacturer. The furniture piece should be elevated on a stand for easier access during spraying.
Goal: Apply a new, smooth, and durable finish to the furniture
