What is the Best Approach to Painting Chairs and Smaller Items of Furniture?

ANSWER: For ideal results, GF recommends applying finish with a spray gun and putting your project on a rotating lazy susan. GF's Milk Paints, Water Based Top Coats, Water Based Wood Stains and Professional Products can all be sprayed.

Spraying can be helpful on chairs and smaller items of furniture because of the spray gun's ability to achieve a smooth finish in edges, nooks and crannies and especially on the spindles of chairs.

To make this process easier, GF recommends placing your project on a Lazy Susan.

DIY Lazy Susan: We make our own Lazy Susan using a 10" Lazy Susan bearing from Rockler Woodworking and Hardware stores. Connie Hill of Renaissance Lady suggests recycling the rotating part of an old fishing boat swivel seat and attaching any size of plywood to it. Susanna Connelly Holstein (https://www.facebook.com/grannysu) recommends using an old TV table with a rotating top instead of a swivel seat. A Painter's Pyramid Wheel is yet another option that could work well for you!
