Instructions:
Refinishing the top
- Scrape the original finish off with a paint scraper.
- Sand the top until smooth.
- Protect the top with General Finishes Higher Performance Dead Flat, painting on with a velour roller. Add a few coats for more water resistance.
Painting the lower cabinet
- Degloss the original finish by washing it with a deglossing product until dull.
- Clean with TSP Alternative by Fusion.
- Add Fusion's paint Extender to Fusion Mineral Paint's Coal Black.
- Brush on paint in long, sweeping smooth strokes from end-to-end without stopping in between. Apply 2 coats lightly sanding in between.
- Once cured, (the longer the better, I waited 30 days), wipe on then wipe off a layer of Fusion's Stain and Finishing Oil in Natural to provide more durability and water resistance.
- Treat piece with TLC for up to 30 days until all the products have properly cured.
