You can scuff with fine steel wool, wipe down with denatured alcohol, then spray paint.
Hi, Vickie!
Spray painting is probably the best option... RustOleum is the best brand to use, in my opinion, and comes in a wide variety of colors. I hope this helps!
oil based primer and paint
You don't need to use spray paint. You'd end up using a ton of it. Just scuff the surface with a green kitchen scrubby to remove any shine. Wipe down with a damp cloth. Prime with Kilz primer then paint. Seal with three coats of a water based polyurethane to protect the finish. That is what i do.
Thanks for all you suggestions! I don't know what type of wood this table is made. I think it is press board. It absorbs water terribly.
