Step-by-step plan: how to paint an old piece of furniture

1. Preparation is everything

Remove old layers of varnish or wax residues, and clean and degrease the surface. Then sand lightly (180-220-grit paper) for good adhesion.

1. Apply primer

Use a suitable primer for wood (e.g. Sigma S2U Nova Primer) to level the surface and improve paint coverage. Allow to dry thoroughly and sand lightly.

1. Topcoat with Sigma S2U Nova Satin

Apply the lacquer in two thin layers with a paint roller or brush. Allow sufficient drying time between coats. Work in the direction of the wood grain for best results.

1. Hardening and finishing

Let the paint harden thoroughly before using the furniture intensively. Usually, the surface is fully load-bearing after a few days.

Colour tips for your project

• Black or anthracite for a cool, industrial effect

• Warm green or blue for a retro look

• Soft beige, cream or greige for a calm, Scandinavian atmosphere

• Bright yellow, terracotta or deep blue as a striking accent in a neutral space

With Sigma S2U Nova Satin you can achieve any of these colours perfectly - the paint can be mixed in almost any shade.
