Now that you are ready to paint dining table and chairs, you may begin painting. Paint the chair seat first with smooth strokes and thin and even coats. It is advisable to use long strokes and to refrain from going back over painted areas. It would help you to produce the smoothest job. Let the chair dry so it is easier to grip. Turn the chair upside down to paint the legs and the lower part of the seat. Make sure you cover all surfaces; they might seem a lot but at one point they would all be apparent. After you finish, set the chair in a suitable position to check for any spots you might have missed on the first coat. Let it dry overnight. Examine the chair properly and then go for a second coat to cover all the obscure missing spots; keeping it thin and even. Once you're done with that, apply a thin coat of protective finish, then wait until it is completely dry and then apply another coat. You may find instructions and alternatives on your protectant. Enjoy your freshly painted chairs!
