Painting Press Board Furniture |
|
|
I need opinions and creative ideas. My husband and I are going to be getting an entertainment center and two tall bookshelves from our in-laws. They are a light wood colored pressed board. So, to be creative and maybe add to our color scheme, I thought we'd paint them before we get them in the house... my husband has yet to be convinced.
Our colors are red, olive, and a golden yellow. I've been watching decorating shows, and I want my "new" furniture to have some character. Thanks. (If it helps, we have a large wall that is red, and two couches that are a solid olive color.)

Is pressed board and partical board the same? I'd like to paint my bed room furniture and it's one or the other, however I'm looking for a cherrywood color or a chocolate for my furniture. Would this work?

Is this pressed board actually paintable?
Can you do a test section?
I would actually go neutral in the tan family just because you may want to change your color scheme in a few years and want the entertainment set to blend in instead of needing re-painting.

prime first then use an enamel paint. Latex enamel works great if you don't like the oil paint smell.

I would think that you could paint the pressed board furniture, if you first painted it with Kilz or a similar primer...Your colors sound wonderful!

My friend undertook the same project as you ,so I ask her. She showed me the bookshelves she painted. 2 were with a water based paint....not good. The water base permeated the covering or (wood look material). The other 3 were with a high gloss enamel. They look great. Not sure what will work for you ,but thought you would want to know her problems...to avoid having your own. JAN
