I chose Beyond Paint in Off-White because it has primer built in and I was hoping the paint would cover the red/pink bleed thru.Īnd after two coats of Beyond Paint the red bleed thru was gone. I applied one more coat of Glidden Gripper then decided to start painting. A lot of times I have the primer tinted gray because to me gray is so much better and easier to cover under just about any paint color.except white of course. I always use Glidden Gripper Primer which I think is now PPG Gripper Primer. At this point I was ready to trash the project and take the table back to the Salvation Army Store.īut I just kept right on working. The photo above show the bleed thru after two coats of primer. I cleaned the table with Simple Green and it was obvious from the cleaning and the red stain on the rag that I was going to have problems with stain bleeding through the paint.Īnd I did. All in all not something fun to work with. Also there is a lot of unevenness where I think there was missing veneer. The paint is thick and discolored and you can see very obvious brush marks. It's hard to see without a close-up photo but the paint job is a mess. The first thing to do was clean up the table. After working on it a while I was questioning my decision.Īs I mentioned earlier it's Furniture Fixer Upper Tour day so be sure and visit my furniture painting buddies after reading the tutorial on my table. But, I did love the look of it and even though the price was $30 I snatched it up.
The table looked really rough when I spotted it at the Salvation Army Thrift Store. I haven't run across a piece even close to this one.
