Use a chalk paint or fusion paint. The only prep you will need is a thorough cleaning with a degreaser (krudkutter or tsp and water solution). You will however require a top coat/sealant for chalk paint...either wax or polycrylic.
Use KLEAN-STRIP Deglosser it is a liquid you wipe on to degloss and etch the surface so it will allow paint to adhere to the surface. Find it at home improvement stores.
Liquid sandpaper. Buy at paint stores.
if its clean and smooth and not shiny, you can just prime it and paint, no need to strip or sand.
Thanks for the suggestions! My Dad always used deglosser stuff when he refinished tubs. I’m going to try that, if it ever stops raining here.
Use STIX buy Benjamin Moore....Then paint it whatever color you want...No sanding, scraping nothing!!
chak paint- no need to sand anything.
I used Citristrip to strip my cabinets. Sanding isn’t required. it has a thick viscosit so you can paint it on to vertical surfaces and just scrape off. It does make a mess but a dollar tree drop cloth makes for an easy clean up.
Spray paint works wonderfully and be sure to get 2x or more with primer in it, in satin, not flat or glossy. I have transformed a whole bedroom with spray paint. Be sure to use light coats and it’s drys pretty fast and for 2 buck buy the snap on trigger spray gun this will help even spraying and no drop marks.📌
