On plywood you can paint almost anything and it becomes beautiful, the natural wood of the wood gives a painterly feeling completely free of charge.

The inspiration for the pattern on our plywood board is taken from concrete tiles, and the crescent shapes have been easily drawn using a barrel. The painting is painted with the same lacquer colors that have become over when we painted the seats on the pallets. In some parts we have chosen to dilute the color to make the vein appear more clear.

5 most common mistakes when painting the furniture

Painting furniture is not as easy as many people think.
In addition to color and patience, a lot of knowledge is needed.

Here are the 5 most common mistakes - and we'll tell you what to do instead!

There is no shortage of tips and advice on how to repaint your furniture. But many are not complete, nor do they address the mistakes you easily make as a beginner. Mistakes that can make the result not as good looking, and last worse. Therefore, we have compiled a list of all mistakes that most beginners make, and how to do for the nicest and best results!

1. Sandpaper / sanding

There are plenty of tips that say you don't need sandpaper at all. There are also several colors that say that grinding is not necessary. But it is a must! If you want good results. Sand all surfaces, but be careful not to ruin the surface. You just need to "rock up" it a bit so the color has something to attach to. Use a lighter sandpaper if the surface is lacquered.

2. Remove any residue

Wipe off the surface with a wipe to remove any debris before painting. Do not use paper towels, they can be peeled off.

3. Pre-treat

If you are going to paint, there are different primers depending on whether it is a laminated furniture or not. Question in the color trade. Use a small foam rubber roller and then a foam rubber brush for the hard to reach places. When the primer has completely dried, remove any "drops" with a grinding pad, and finish with wiping off with a pad.

4. Paint

Use a small foam rubber roller and apply three thin layers of semi-gloss latex paint. Allow it to dry between six and eight hours between the strokes. Grind (use the grinding block) between the times if you have any bumps. It is important that you wipe off with a new cleaning cloth, you must remove every small fluff and dust grain before the next step.

5. Finish

The final step is to protect the paint with surface treatment. Use a new foam rubber roller to apply a thin layer of acrylate-based wood lacquer. Carefully apply the roller to even out any bubbles that may occur. Then let it dry for 72 hours. Clear!
