A clear lacquer can be used on a natural wood surface or you can employ a shiny colored lacquer to make furniture more noticeable.
Can you paint lacquer furniture.
Hi i have used chalk paint on many surfaces.
Bare paint on furniture can become damaged and if you place objects on painted furniture it s possible for the objects to become embedded into the paint over.
I recommend using a primer first.
Paint is not as durable as lacquer.
You will need to condition the lacquered surface through abrasion techniques.
Flatten and degloss an old finish with a palm sander and 120 to 150 grit sandpaper scraping off loose paint with a paint scraper as you work.
First because lacquered paint is slick and glossy it is poorly suited for paint adhesion.
As with any furniture finish the time you put into sanding and prepping the surface will pay off with a smooth surface.
Lacquer is a varnish that is often used on wood to create a durable and shiny surface.
I like zinsser bin.
