To complete this project you will need the following:
• Paint
• Primer
• Furniture Piece
• Paint Brush or Mini-Roller
• Sandpaper or Sanding Block
• Dust Rag
STEP 1: Sand
With a piece of sand paper or a sanding block, sand down the furniture piece. Be sure to completely remove or sand off any loose or cracking paint.
STEP 2: Wipe Down Piece
With a damp rag wipe the piece free of sanding dust. Allow any wet spots to completely dry before proceeding to the next step.
STEP 3: Prime
When the piece is clear of dust and dry, it’s ready to prime. With a paint brush or small roller, apply primer evenly over the whole piece. Allow 2 hours to dry before proceeding to next step.
STEP 4: Paint
With a brush or small roller, paint the piece in the color of your choice. Allow 2 hours for the first coat to dry. Reapply second coat if necessary/desired. Wait 2 hours minimum before using.
STEP 5: Enjoy
Though the piece will be dry after two hours, we recommend allowing it to dry overnight before its first use. When ready set your refreshed piece in its new home and enjoy!

You give the color Blueprint but not the type of paint, there’s many types of Behr paint in this color, which one did you use on the chair please?
Hi Emily – Thanks for contacting us with your question.
We first prepped surface with Behr Premium Plus All-In-One Primer & Sealer and then for top coat we used Behr Marquee, Interior Paint & Primer, Eggshell (Blueprint color).
