Furniture Painting

I need to get a refreshers course on proper painting newly made wood furniture.

I make my own accent furniture ...I can't just jump right in in start painting can I? Do I have to sand even if it's bare?

    That's right, a light sand up front is easy and effective.

    Oil base primer will give you the smoothest surface after sanding but is more hassle to use than latex. As well, oil-base finish paint will give you the hardest and smoothest finish but takes longer to dry, has more vapors, must be cleaned up with thinner, etc.
