Furniture Painting in Toronto

July 5th, 2010

Here we are furniture painting.

Generally, the standard for painting most furniture would be to take it off site and have it sprayed. We also had to paint the desk in the room to match the bed frame. When painting the desk we choose to take it to a spray booth and spray it. For the bed we took extra precautions and painted it on site.

The tools that we employ are a Wooster pelican paint container and a European brush. The European brush can also be considered an artist brush. The reason we use an artist brush is because of the intricacy of the detail in the bed frame.

Here we paint all the crevices much like you would when you’re painting a door. Then to give it a smooth finish we use a sponge roller. When using the sponge roller the rules of rolling applications apply. When rolling you want to make your strokes as long as you can. Try not to end half way up a stroke finish at the bottom or the top. Another thing to look out for when rolling is accumulation of paint at the edge of your roller. The worst case is when you will get a large accumulation and causing it to dry with an unsightly textured finished. Painting furniture takes attention to detail and a craftsman like attention to the application of the paint.
