How to Paint a Cheap Kitchen Table Look Brand New

You will need:

* A cheap kitchen table

* Sandpaper (120-grit and 220-grit)

* A tack cloth

* A primer designed for wood

* Paint in the color of your choice (acrylic or latex)

* A paintbrush or roller

* A clear topcoat (optional)

* Painter's tape

* A drop cloth

Step 2: Prepare the Table

1. Remove any hardware from the table, such as knobs or handles.

2. Use the 120-grit sandpaper to sand the table all over. This will remove any rough spots and help the primer and paint to adhere better.

3. Wipe the table down with a tack cloth to remove any dust.

Step 3: Apply the Primer

1. Apply a coat of primer to the table using a paintbrush or roller. Be sure to cover the entire surface, including the edges.

2. Allow the primer to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 4: Paint the Table

1. Apply two coats of paint to the table, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.

2. If desired, apply a clear topcoat to protect the paint.

Step 5: Reattach the Hardware

Once the paint is completely dry, reattach any hardware that you removed in Step 2.

Enjoy your newly painted kitchen table!
