Removing TOUGH PAINT from a TRASHED Sideboard | Antique Furniture Restoration

Рет қаралды 91,935

Ай бұрын

I found this painted antique sideboard on the Facebook Marketplace, and as soon as I picked it up in the rain, I knew it needed a lot of work. In this video, I remove tough and stubborn paint from the antique and let the wood breathe again.
Let me know your thoughts on the after!

Holy WOW! I wanted to cry for you just watching the process of getting that paint off. This was such a transformation!!! Solid work….super solid work actually!!!!

@FurnitureFlippa Ай бұрын

Thanks Amy! I wanted to cry a bit too during the process 😂 But its always worth it in the end, especially when the wood grain looks like that!

@lfuentes4098 Ай бұрын

I had this happen on some kitchen cabinets. I couldn’t do it after three rounds of strippers. I was in tears. There must’ve been ten layers of paints over the years. My dad finally looked at me and said try a heat gun. He said work slow and carefully. As soon as the paint bubbles remove with the spatula and viola! 😅 It’s tedious as well but better than all that paint stripper.

The sideboard is a sort of colonial/French provincial style popular in the seventies. The mass market paint technique was weird with a sprayed oil based paint and a sort of baking process that literally made a hard shell. The fact you got down to wood is a miracle out of Scripture

I had a Hoosier Cabinet last year that had 5 coats of five different types and colors of paint, two like your hard dry ones, and after trying two different strippers, scrapers, and sanding, I ended up using my heat gun on high and a scraper, outside on the deck, and it all came off, with only a little hard sanding necessary. It's really hard work lots of times, but in the end, it was worth it--under all that paint was a solid oak cabinet, no veneer, so no need for patching! I love it! Your cabinet came out beautiful, and your color matching is great! Good Job! Why anyone would put even one coat of paint over that gorgeous Flaky Tiger Oak makes my head spin!!

Next time you come into paint like that. Try sanding it down till the sheen is done then use a gel stripper and it will bubble up. I learned this years ago stripping old panel doors. Old paints seam to need there pours open so the stripper can get in and do its thing. Hope this helps. Good video and great job 😊

First of all, it was quite brave of you to pick up this piece. It was pretty labour intensive project and I am impressed you have chosen this piece for the challenged. Bravo! Secondly, restoration process was on spot and you transformed it into an unimaginable beautiful piece. I am probably gonna watch this video few times more. At last, I would not put any price tag to this piece, the time and effort gone into it is way more then it would sell for. You should be very proud of yourself!
