  • Any tips on painting Ikea furniture? Looking to paint a set of Pax wardrobes. Thinking 240 grit sanding, Zinsser water based primer, then paint 2x

  • For the last few years it's become more popular to 'degloss' with a sprayed liquid. Then use a tiny microfibre roller that's designed for the latest acrylic paints. Alkyd eggshell is probably the easiest to get a good finish with. On top of Zinsser 123+ of course! If you are going for a darker colour you can tint have the primer tinted.

  • Okay thank you, so no sanding? What's the sprayed liquid to degloss? And you wouldn't go water based on top then from what you're saying?
