We are going to explain step by step so that you can do it yourself, and that your furniture, elements or doors show off this most striking 'look', as if it had been done by a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this process, paint is used to coat the materials, which stands out for its greater shine on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow the steps carefully and spend some time doing it slowly, delicately and surprisingly with the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are going to apply the lacquer on a surface that already has a varnish or paint in good condition, it is not necessary to strip it, simply sand it. With a sandpaper gently and clean the dust later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In case the finish is bad, it must be stripped or sanded to ensure the primer. If you have to strip, apply the stripper following the instructions on the container for the time to apply and remove it with a spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be done by hand or using a sander<\/a><\/strong>. Either because of the size or the speed, although the result is always much better if you use it. You can leave the sandpaper<\/a><\/strong> for areas where a sander cannot reach. In this step you should not forget to wear a mask<\/a><\/strong> so as not to suck up the dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To finish this work, the surface must always be clean and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a good result, it is advisable to dilute the enamel (lacquer) with solvent or mineral spirits (approximately 10% or see the instructions on the container). When applying it you must be especially careful with places such as frames or handles, you must do it carefully. To do this, use a pallet. Make sure it is new and clean, in any case you can always use it by cleaning it with hot water, neutral soap and letting it dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the rest of the surface you must apply the enamel of the lacquer, spreading it with a brush always on the same side along the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal is to pass another coat, you always have to wait until the surface is very dry, according to what the enamel manufacturer recommends, but to avoid any stain, wait at least 24 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sand again and do it in a circular way because it will allow to eliminate the surpluses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is when, after the enamel has dried, vwe forget to lacquer<\/strong>. For a spectacular result, apply the second coat undiluted. Let dry and that's it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You already have your lacquered furniture! If you want to add a special color paint, you just have to apply it and wait for the process recommended on the manufacturer's packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you follow these steps, you will have your piece as if it had been done by a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We add some recommendation such as that if you can, use water-based and solvent-free enamels. It is an ecological product, easy to use, odorless and the result is exactly the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is true that the sanding step may seem cumbersome, but do not skip it to ensure a fine surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use a spray gun, there are small and very handy ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We advise you that the area where you are going to work does not give direct sunlight, but is ventilated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Protect yourself with gloves to avoid touching liquids like solvent or staining yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have to move the furniture \/ piece to some other place? Protect it so that your work is not ruined, for this, you can count on temporary protectors such as Maxpro<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tv2.famc.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pintar-mueble-1024x1024.png\")
