What's the best way to paint a glossy metal headboard?
![Paulette](https://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/imgs-responsive/avatar-letters/avatar-P-59A1F4.png?size=50x50)
I have a glossy metal headboard someone gave me and I would like to paint it. However, I'm not sure if I just prime before painting or do something else.
If you're using a queen size box/mattress I'd suggest getting a queen frame from a mattress store and affixing the head/foot boards to that. A queen frame has a center support which is needed to hold the weight of the mattress.
My solution to a similar problem is to attatch the board to the wall and push the bedframe to it. My adjustable beds made this the only solution with the headboard I own.
