How to prepare your surfaces prior to painting

Before application of your furniture paint ensure that your chosen surfaces is smooth, clean, dry and free from wax, polish, oil or anything else liable to cause adhesion issues. Previously painted or varnished surfaces should be lightly abraded if required, whilst bare metal surfaces should be suitably primed prior to applying any paint. Any surfaces where stain blocking may potentially become an issue such as knots or bleeds from timber should be primed over with an appropriate stain blocking primer.
