I have never seen the watered down plastic wood brushed on and I've been doing this professionally for over 5 years. I don't typically fill wood grain but it's a great tip to know. Thanks
Thank you. Love it, and thank you no gray!! yay!! I wanted a really nice gloss. In a soft yellow cream color. Couldn't figure it out. I Thank you . 💞🙏 Binn buy Bin Shellac. Yay
really nice paintjob! the problem with the water based primer wasn't the thinning in my opinion... in general water based primer only sticks to wood really well.... which means that you would have to sand off all the old finish for the 123 primer to stic k properly! but the new method you tried was neat! good stuff!
It's GORGEOUS! I have used oil based paint on my daughter's dresser but it didn't smell. I won't use it again because I love chalk paint. But for durable, glossy results oil based paint is incredible! Thanks so much for sharing
Absolutely stunning end result :) ,thanks for going public with regard not getting it right first time, at their best these videos are educational, an exercise in stumbling then getting it right, a bit tough but extremely valuable... Very best wishes. John, Perth, Australia.
im looking for a glossy finish and i saw a gal redo a glossy dresser with krylon high gloss and it looked amazing. im going to try the clear version as my top coat before i go through all these steps.. this turned out great..
I also learned my lesson with spraying BIN. Roll it on or use a hvlp with a 2.0 or 2.2mm cap and needle. The flexio isn't really meant for something that viscous.
How does it look with the roller finish? Are you happy with it i am debating a can spray vs roller like what you did... just unsure if the roller would look ok vs the spray can
This is great. I’m painting my nite stands black with gold knobs I have a grey headboard and wondering if I can paint my dresser this white with gold or black accents ? Who can help me answer this.
I JUST had the same issue with a water based primer scratching off. Boo!!!! It’s such a bummer. I felt for you! But in the end this turned out beautifully!
Omg I had the EXACT same problem with the 123 on my last project. But was a dresser set! Luckily it stuck to the drawers. I ended up using the shellac based after too.
I sanded only where I had drips or where it felt rough because dust landed on it while drying. Oil based paint takes forever to dry enough to sand without clogging up the sandpaper.
Oh no... I did this with an entire kitchen so I came here hoping it'd be easier this time and maybe another solution. Looks like I'm not! 😭😭😭😭 Looks beautiful btw! At least I have all the tools this time lol.
Thanks! This is oil based paint, so it is very durable on its own. It is completely different than using waterbased paints that are so popular and prevalent today.
Just the painting process is actually pretty quick, like an hour or two tops depending on what paint you use and the dry time required between coats. It’s the preparing the piece for paint that takes the longest, but even then, I have completed a full makeover from start to finish on one complete day before. Really depends on what paint you are using, other products, your piece, etc.
Priming gets the furniture ready for paint by making sure the paint sticks well and covers up any marks. Sealing goes on top of the paint to protect it from scratches and to keep it looking nice.

A lot of effort but looks amazing. Great video. On a side note I was worried about your throat as your voice seems to struggle. Hope it is nothing serious. Look forward to your other videos.
I’ve followed all of the steps but for some reason the first coat of the paint turned out so bad. Bumpy all over. Looks awful. Feels awful. I’m not giving up tho. Any tips is much appreciated. Thanks
So to summarize, there is no Quick & Easy when looking to achieve smooth, high gloss finishings. Sand, sand, prime, sand, prime, sand, sand some more and paint..
Personally, I find white so boring. I don’t understand people who want everything white, black or grey. Would have loved it in a glossy blue or some other bright accent color 🤷♂️

Please tell me if the Bin Shellac Primer was oil or watercolor based?? Not sure which one you used? Thank you🥰
The amount of effort you put into it with 2 x primer and 2 x gloss is worth it, it looks like a stylish high end furniture piece.

Super GORGEOUS! Very upscale looking piece! Your hard work and effort was worth it all! 💕
Thank you so SO much for the kind words! I appreciate it a lot!
Your narration is so real. Huge fan!
I was just going to comment on her great narrating. Nice voice. Sometimes she reminds me of Meghan Kelly.
Thank you. Love it, and thank you no gray!! yay!! I wanted a really nice gloss. In a soft yellow cream color. Couldn't figure it out. I Thank you . 💞🙏 Binn buy Bin Shellac. Yay
I love bringing new life to old things so this video…love it!!!
I love it, you did such a great job on it

Looks GORGEOUS 😍
Thank you!

Sounds great!
love the glossy finish.
Thanks so much for this instructional video. Reality has set in.
You both did an amazing job!.
Thank you!
Gorgeous!
It turned out so beautifully! Brava!
Excellent job
Thank you very much!
I also learned my lesson with spraying BIN. Roll it on or use a hvlp with a 2.0 or 2.2mm cap and needle. The flexio isn't really meant for something that viscous.
I hope i can learn from your mistakes. Im very beginning in this DIY painting. Thanks so much
This is amazing. Perhaps the only video with Rustoleum enamel paint. Does it actually self level so well?
Awesome 👌, how many paint coats did you do please? Didn't you paint a final laquer ? Thank you
Oh I can’t remember, but I think I needed 3 coats of white paint. There was no clear topcoat on this piece. That is the oil based paint.
How does it look with the roller finish? Are you happy with it i am debating a can spray vs roller like what you did... just unsure if the roller would look ok vs the spray can
looks good! is it waterproof? can this be done on a kitchen table?
This is great. I’m painting my nite stands black with gold knobs I have a grey headboard and wondering if I can paint my dresser this white with gold or black accents ? Who can help me answer this.
Very nice
So fancy!!!! ❤❤❤
Did the oil based paint start to turn yellow over time?
I JUST had the same issue with a water based primer scratching off. Boo!!!! It’s such a bummer. I felt for you! But in the end this turned out beautifully!
Dang!! I'm sorry to hear that! Guess we have to stick with the tried and true! haha
When you sand with 220 grit paper do you find you are taking off some of the primer especially in corners. Thank you
New Baby!! 😂 That sure was ALOT of hard labor! It's just gorgeous 🤍
thank you!!
Very Helpful.
This is exactly the look I want for my mid-century hutch
Omg I had the EXACT same problem with the 123 on my last project. But was a dresser set! Luckily it stuck to the drawers.
I ended up using the shellac based after too.
Very nice!
Thanks!
Beautiful
Thank you!
How long did that oil based paint take to off gas?
You guys did an amazing job!
yoooo i’m so happy man!!!
Love it ✨🏆🏆✨
I love it.
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE it!
Nice
Working girl ❤❤❤❤
After the first glossy paint, do you need to sand it before applying the second coat, thx
I sanded only where I had drips or where it felt rough because dust landed on it while drying. Oil based paint takes forever to dry enough to sand without clogging up the sandpaper.
Oh no... I did this with an entire kitchen so I came here hoping it'd be easier this time and maybe another solution. Looks like I'm not! 😭😭😭😭 Looks beautiful btw! At least I have all the tools this time lol.
I love how this dresser turned out!
Those looks incredible! Did you put a top coat or is it not necessary for oil base paints?
Thanks! Oil based paints do not need topcoats.
Love how this turned out!! I don't understand what happened with the first primer coat though? Do you know why it scratched off so badly? Thanks!
I really don't know other than adding water to it so I could spray it.
Can you change the color of a furniture that has already high gloss?
Yep, you just have to prep it properly before painting it again.
Love it. White is not my thing but looks nice.
Oh, and I love sniffing the paint. Not sure how bad it is for health.
Hi love the look! Did you topcoat it at all? Wondering how it is resisting scratches? Thank you!
Thanks! This is oil based paint, so it is very durable on its own. It is completely different than using waterbased paints that are so popular and prevalent today.
What did you use as glossy paint again?
Links to the products I used are in the description of this video for ya.
How long you spend in total painting? :D
Just the painting process is actually pretty quick, like an hour or two tops depending on what paint you use and the dry time required between coats. It’s the preparing the piece for paint that takes the longest, but even then, I have completed a full makeover from start to finish on one complete day before.

Use oil base primer for not wood surface furnitures then caulking and then 2 coats water base paint or oil base up to you..
Sort of want a very close up of the entire finished product so we could see how smooth it turned out.
CONFUSE LOTS OF PROCESS, ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIMING AND SEALING? :)
Priming gets the furniture ready for paint by making sure the paint sticks well and covers up any marks. Sealing goes on top of the paint to protect it from scratches and to keep it looking nice.

A lot of effort but looks amazing. Great video. On a side note I was worried about your throat as your voice seems to struggle. Hope it is nothing serious. Look forward to your other videos.
Considering all the effort you put in, I would have left it as was.
And I prefer a natural wood look anyways.
But good job done 👍
I’ve followed all of the steps but for some reason the first coat of the paint turned out so bad. Bumpy all over. Looks awful. Feels awful. I’m not giving up tho. Any tips is much appreciated. Thanks
i’d suggest sanding the areas you do not like. not all the way but for a smoother texture and using a brush and lightly go over it until it blends in.
This saves a lot of money.
Right big sis?
Do you have to use a spray ? Can you use a tiny roller ?
You can roll or brush it on if you want.
❤
The painted version looks great but the original piece also looked brilliant
I use it on cabinet's, no primer.
use tinted lacquer
I like you Lady❤❤❤❤
So to summarize, there is no Quick & Easy when looking to achieve smooth, high gloss finishings. Sand, sand, prime, sand, prime, sand, sand some more and paint..
123 primer take 3 months to dry
Never mix primer with water. Gesso. Or paint on a surface that sucks up the paint. Such as naked wood.
Looks great. But wow that’s a lot of work.
Haha it definitely was but I think it was SO worth it in the end!

Personally, I find white so boring. I don’t understand people who want everything white, black or grey. Would have loved it in a glossy blue or some other bright accent color 🤷♂️
You're killing me... It looked fine as wood.
Not everybody likes or wants the wood look, as long as it’s not ending up in the landfill like a lot of disposable furniture, this is a win.
If the wood material is mahogany or better I will prefer the original look and colour and use lacquer for renewal. What do you think ? 🟫
