Can I upgrade this lacquered table? It's damaged, chipped and scuffed
Comments (9)Wow, I have learnt something today! I guess I need a UK supplier, when would you use these paints in general? From looking at your portfolio I see the kitchen cabinets, bathrooms etc fabulous but the "normal" rooms- that's taste specific surely? What image does it give to a room? I'd be a bit nervous using it in a living area :)...See MoreFeature wall in kitchen, To Do or Not To Do?!?

Comments (11)As said before, you will need a bonding primer. Two I know of are zinsser bullseye 123 primer and Owatrol ESP (easy surface primer). Both of these (and there might be other brands as well) can be used without sanding the surface first but remember to sugar soap them first to remove residues. Haven't used the zinsser but heard a lot of good things about it. ESP is expensive but goes a long way, basically it creates a film which etches into the surface beneath it. Two or three top coats of chosen paint finish, job done. I've used ESP on veneer and it does bond really well but can't speak for it's longevity, paint chipping, knocks etc. might be as well to use a multi purpose primer after the bonding primer and then the top coats. Use a foam gloss roller for a nice even finish. This sounds a bit confusing so steps are: 1. Sugar soap surface 2. Wipe off sugar soap 3. Bonding primer, follow instructions 4. Multi use primer or top coat 5. 2-3 layers of top coat. Alternatively you could you use Annie Sloan chalk paint which also doesn't require sanding first and use a clear wax or lacquer to finish....See MoreCashmere shaker units & white mirror chip quartz top..Too clinical?
Comments (9)If you look at the following images, the first one - the floor picks up the same colour from the units, is still light in tone but has some interest due to the wood grain. This seems to work. The second and third one look too tonally similar to me, the last image works as the units are darker than the floor. My preference is the first image as the gloss cashmere is very uniform, the floor really adds some interest....See Moreheaders13
