How can I paint a headboard?

its been done- primer, paint, and if it has spaces like paneling-do the spaces first.

Here are some painted headboard ideas on Hometalk: https://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=paint%20headboard

I love painted headboard. Prime with oil based primer, lightly sand, then paint with oil based paint for a very prof look.

You can use spray paint or chalk paint and here is the good tutorial https://bushraslifestyle.com/how-to-chalk-paint-furniture-plus-chalk-paint-recipe/

Hope it helps

Hi Jackie! Chalk based or mineral based paints work great for paint headboards! No sanding or priming required. :) Some of my favorite brands are Dixie Belle, Jolie, Annie Sloan and Valspar (you can get this at Lowes all work great!

Here is a head board I am currently working on! You can seal with Clear wax or a waterbased poly! :)
