Guys
I'm going to buy a "country style" wooden table off ebay and renovate it.
Typically these type of tables are made from solid pine.
Example
Dinning Room Table .. 8 Seater - eBay Dining Tables, Dining Room, Furniture, Home. (end time 12-Apr-10 09:37:31 AEST) (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200457955274)
What I'm wanting to do is paint this table in a bright red... or maybe black or white (wife still deciding)
How best to achieve this?
Do I need to sand it back fully? If so how? Use a orbital sander?
Could I forgo the sanding and just apply a primer?
Should I use a spray gun to apply the paint? If so can anyone recommend a budget spray gun for this project (note: I'm unlikely to use it often)
We want a glossy finish on the paint. Should I use a true oil based paint or one of the new "water based" acrylics?
Should I put something over the top coat to protect it from heat/moisture.
Any advice appreciated.
