Furniture Paint – Transform Your Furniture with a Smooth, Durable Finish

Preparation is where most people get it wrong—and where your finish is won or lost.

Step 1: Clean & Degloss

Use Harlequin Liquid Sandpaper to remove grease, polish, and contaminants while chemically deglossing the surface.

• Apply with a lint-free cloth or brush
• Let it sit for 7–15 minutes
• Do not let it dry
• Wipe off with a damp cloth

Step 2: Prime (If Needed)

If the surface may have an oil-based coating, apply Harlequin Multi-Surface Primer before painting.

Step 3: Paint

• Apply 2 light coats
• Allow drying time between coats
• Build up to a smooth, even finish

Sanding often:

• Creates dust
• Doesn’t remove polish or silicone
• Can be time-consuming

Instead, use Liquid Sandpaper to chemically prepare the surface for better adhesion without sanding.

Yes—but prep is critical.

Varnish, polyurethane, and polish create a sealed surface that prevents paint from sticking. Using Liquid Sandpaper breaks down this barrier and ensures proper bonding.

Perfect for:

• Dressers
• Side tables
• Shelving units
• Decorative cabinets
• Interior wooden furniture

Furniture Paint can be used on low-contact kitchen items like shelving or decor.

For high-use areas like:

• Cupboards
• Cabinet doors

Use Eggshell or Gloss Enamel instead for better durability.

• Not always – if the existing paint is water-based
• Yes – if the surface may be oil-based or unknown

Always combine with proper surface prep for best results.

Furniture Paint is not designed for high-wear surfaces, such as:

• Kitchen cupboards
• Banisters
• Window frames
• High-moisture or high-contact areas

For these, switch to a more durable enamel system.
