Painting blue furniture. #furniture #makeover #flip
What happens here
Set up an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray system, such as the Apollo Precision-6, and load the paint into an Atomizer 7700 spray gun. Wear a respirator mask for safety, as well as gloves. Thoroughly clean the sanded furniture surface to remove all dust before painting. Apply the first thin, even coat of paint (a dark blue/teal color is used in the video) to the entire furniture piece. Maintain a consistent distance and speed to avoid drips and ensure uniform coverage. The HVLP system allows for a fine, smooth application. The system's pressure (e.g., 7.4 PSI shown) can be monitored and adjusted for optimal results. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying subsequent coats, typically 1-2 hours or as recommended by the paint manufacturer.
Goal: Apply a base coat of paint with a smooth, professional finish
