S_P on Jul 08, 2012Assuming you want to paint over furniture that has been coated with poly: You can sand it lightly and then prime or get adventurous and skip the sanding (like I do) and use a good adhesion primer right over the shiny surface. I use Sherwin Williams Adhesion Primer. (Or Bonding Primer...they keep changing the name.)Helpful Reply

Peace Painting Co., Inc. on Jul 09, 2012Good advice Sandra. Deborah, a safe step to take is to use deglosser. This will clean and dull the surface. Water base deglossers are now available. Then you are ready to use a primer and two coats of finish paint. CPHelpful Reply
