She Refinished This $6 Chair Perfectly With NO SANDING.

Rather than spend her time sanding away, she decided to try spraying a metal primer directly on the smooth surface of the chair. She used Dulux Metalsheild Primer for this job.

Here is the trick: she let it CURE. Meaning it is dry to the touch. No fingerprints.

Here is what she says about curing:

Yes, this is the only downside when you want to get a project done quickly, but it’s why it makes the paint stick so well. You must let it cure. This can take anywhere from a few days to a month. How do you know when paint has cured?
Its guess work really. As soon as it’s touch dry, touch it! Somewhere that you won’t see if it leaves a print is best. Touch it a couple of times and get a feel for what it’s like when it’s not cured. It’ll feel tacky and still smell strongly of paint. Check it in a couple of days, then keep checking it as often as you like until it no longer smells like paint and is dry and hard to touch.
Then spray on your colour – this chair took one can – in thin coats again, allowing the correct drying time between coats. Then it’s cure time again. You’ve gotta let the colour cure, same as before. Then you can seal it.
I sealed with Annie Sloan clear wax because I knew it would keep the finish still fairly matte (which is what we wanted) and would protect the paint work well.

Her finished product is so beautiful!
