What paint can I use on Pine?
What kind of paint can you use on pine wood?
There is no pine wood paint. You can use any type of paint, especially since it has been primed. I have used latex paint, chalk type paint , and oil based paint with equal success. Each have their own advantages, but I prefer latex paint for my furniture.
Do you need to prime pinewood before painting? The wood must be clean before you prime it. It is a good idea to lightly sand the wood to expose the grain. After the primer has dried, you can sand the wood lightly with 150-grit sandpaper or finer sandpaper to reduce the grain. Prime your surface for best results within one week.
So, which paint is best for painting furniture?
Furniture should be finished in satin or semigloss using either an oil-based or latex paint. Never leave primer unpainted. A latex primer is a great choice for most applications, especially if you use a latex painting. It is easy to apply and blocks most stains. However, it doesn't have an oil-based odor.
Is it better for pine wood to be painted or stained?
For best results, use dark paint stains colors. Radiata pine looks the best in its natural state. If you need to paint it or stain it, however, you should use darker paints and colors.
