Thank you!

Thank you, Cindy!!! 🥳

Question if I got some bleed through on my dresser nothing bad just like 3 tiny circles can I apply BIN primesr on top of bhet print before the sealer coat?

Glad to hear!

Thanks, Sue!

Thank you, Cherie!!

Thanks for the compliment! Jim, what a good tip! I’ll be doing that from now on

Good to know 🙌

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the tip

It seems like most people who use chalk paint thin it out and also use a mist bottle when painting with a brush.

I have a hard time with chalk paint 😅 it gives me the most trouble with brush strokes and then when I try to top coat it with water based top coat o get streaking. I’m totally done with it honestly and now I only use Behr or General finishes. I want to try fusion though!

Honestly if you want the smoothies finish go with General Finishes Milk paint. It’s so nice to work with

@@blacksheephouse I am all new to this and it is only the second thing I have painted with chalk paint. The first thing was an antique doll cradle with spindles and oh boy were the spindles ever miserable with thick goopy paint to contend with. So far I am not seeing the benefit with all the trouble with brush marks either. I scuff-sanded and sealed the dresser with shellac. I am not very sensitive to smells so I don't want to take a chance not knowing where the dresser came from. I expect going forward I will take these steps regardless so chalk paint isn't necessary I guess to skip sanding and primer. I have heard great things about General Finishes. Thanks so much for the kind and great advice!!

@@blacksheephouse I've heard a trick to avoid streaking when topcoating chalk paint. Mix just a little bit of your paint into the topcoat. Even works on black finishes.

Yes, I definitely like chalk paints for many projects but I find when I want just one solid color with no distressing or blending that Behr or general finishes works the best for me ❤️

Thank you! I tend to either use water based polyurethane by Varathane or I use clear wax by Behr, both are easy to find at Home Depot

I am also concern about the top coat. I heard it can turnout yellow. Which one did you end up applying?

I would use the gray or clear shellac for a black finish ❤️

I don't know about this one but in other videos she uses Palmolive Oxy dish soap in water and wipe down with a cloth.

Haha, ok! You can share pics on insta or Facebook with me

Not sure if you've watched her channel long but she usually doesn't like to use paint spray guns due to the waste of paint

Based on your “expert” advice I don’t think you’re very familiar with her channel her work or her personal preferences when it comes to painting furniture.

@Jennifer B I've been painting houses for 20+years. We've also done more trim conversion than you can imagine(it's a big trend eliminating wooden trim and doors converting it to white). I've also painted more than my fair share of kitchen cabinets and all sorts of builtin cabinets/shevles/dressers, fireplaces(both metal and brick conversion), wooden beams, and even a few tubs and surrounds as well as car rims, decks, metal and wooden fences ect ect ect. Is it possible to get a factory finish without a sprayer? Yes, if you spend enough time buffing and polishing and sanding with extremely fine sandpaper you could in theory achieve similar results to a sprayer on non-intricate flat surfaces. Is it worth the time and effort to do it like that? No way. You'd be shocked how efficient an hvlp sprayer can be or an airless with fflp tips(fine finish low pressure). At some point you have to value your time more than the miniscule amount of paint wasted by spraying or the additional steps required to hopefully get it to that level a different way. The last conversion I did had over 60 shelves and door fronts, it was a long process even with my sprayers, to do them by hand is a massive waste of time I wouldn't wish upon anybody. To attempt to perfect them with minirollers and brushes is a task I literally don't even want to think about. I had everything I could stacked outside ontop of drops and my extension ladder, a small spray booth near by, and I layed down coat after coat after coat til everything was done (air drying between coats). With this dresser, if you had it outside on a drop you could spray a perfect layer on it within minutes.

@@AlexKunstar that was a lot and I’m definitely not reading all of that, maybe you missed my point. Maybe you are an expert but you must not be very familiar with this particular content creator. She does not like to use a paint sprayer as she states many times throughout her videos. She makes videos based on her personal preferences and shows people how to do her technique which does not include using a paint sprayer so you giving that advice is not very useful even if you think it’s the best. People are not watching her content for paint sprayer tips.

@@jenniferb8145 if you had read my original comment it also gave tips on painting when a sprayer isn't an option (using latex extenders and urethane trim enamel with better self leveling properties). I'm also adding a professional finishers observations on what is required to take it up to the levels of a factory finish. Which is something she points out in other videos as well, that this process cannot achieve the same quality as a sprayed finish. This comment isn't to address her process, it's to give better alternatives to others, or at least get them to not be intimidated by sprayers. I just love to paint, and love watching people paint. If this is her comfort zone keep going. There are much faster ways.

Duncan phife, nice! You can use this primer totally 💯 works great always for me

Totally! I would choose a tan color for a more natural wood look though ❤️ check out some of my faux wood finish videos in here I have lots

Did this get answered?

Depends what sheen you go with on the paint, the higher the sheen the more durability. I prefer a matte finish so I generally go with a matte water based polyurethane. You can also check out my one step paint recipe here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d6eAl5Z3mLCbqJs.html

Yes!!! Definitely!!

If I had to take an educated guess, that looks like Ultra Pure White and you can grab it right off the shelf in any sheen.

She was applying Dawn dishwasher soap.

@@jessicam.2638 how do you know and won't that leave behind build up? It appears to be a type of wax. Have watched several other videos from other channels and no one preps their furniture with dishwashing soap.

Hey Sandra, you can definitely get a shellac based paint in the UK, maybe a different brand but anything shellac based will block bleedthrough best. Second best for bleed through is any oil based paint ❤️ also, unless you have a red wood you should be good to go with any old regular primer, even water based. I rarely have to use a heavy duty print unless I’m working on mahogany or something.

I’m not sure, but worth a shot to ask at the hardware store! They have a clear spray shellac that I use, works great under the dark pieces.

@@blacksheephouse thank you i will try the clear! i almost bought that when i went with the gray that some had recommended.

Usually people will either use a clear top coat or wax. So whichever you choose will be the last step. I prefer a matte polycrylic topcoat for almost all my pieces unless it’s a table then I use oil based polyurethane bc it’s so durable

@@blacksheephouse ok thank you

Yes, holds up great, important to wait for it to fully cure before heavy use but 👍 you’ll be very pleased

@@blacksheephouse How long will the curing process take?

What is curing process? Plz guide ​@@blacksheephouse because i am going to paint my dark my table like this without sanding. And it will be my first attempt

Hi, it’s held up perfectly. For metal parts I go with metal primer and spray paint 🖤

@@blacksheephouse thank you! 🙏🏻🙂

I agree!

she did get paint on the floor as you can see in the video. but it cleaned up nicely in the staged shots. no need to be concerned.

@@shelleycoleman1760 some people can't just enjoy a nice video. Thanks Shelley lol.

It’s a staging floor in her garage. Why do some people feel the need to inject themselves into everything? Just enjoy the video. You can pick it a tarp down on your project

@@shannonericksen1291 BECAUSE ITS A PUBLIC VIDEO WITH PUBLIC COMMENTS IF YOU DONT LIKE READING THEM THEN DONT LESRN HOW TO READ

Hey Jas! You’ll need to prime it first and then use whatever paint (Behr) on top of the primer.

Yes 👏

Give it a light sand and then use the shellac white or clear primer first, you may need to do two coats, after that you can use any paint you want. Shellac based primer is the only thing that will block bleed through like you mentioned

If it is water base primer, add water. (BIN primer is water base I believe). But they say not to add tap water to the can because it can damage the paint. Furniture artists I have watched recommend distilled water if you chose to add water to the can. Though it is best to add it to the paint you have poured. You can also mist your brush with water.

I don’t think Bin is water based. It’s impossible to clean brushes after using so I always use disposable brushes and rollers as well.

Hey there! Bin comes in 3 types of primer (that I know of), oil based, shellac based and water based versions. I use different types on different projects in my videos ❤️ whatever the can says you can use to clean your brushes up with is usually what people use to thin it, so denatured alcohol for the shellac based, water for the water based or mineral spirits for oil based.

Hey Christine, I had that happen one time and needed to wait till it cured, maybe that’s what’s happening? Bin has the best adhesion of any paint product I’ve ever used so I promise give it another try. And I’m not knocking chalk paint, it adheres great too but it won’t block bleed through

@@blacksheephouse Thank you for relaying. How long do you typically wait to slap the paint on after priming? Is one coat of primer sufficient?

I too was wondering the same thing.

You have to use multiple coats like 3 or 4 due to the dark color furniture. She’s eliminating steps with the actual times to paint once dry.

I did do 2 coats, some spots 3
