Q.K. I need your Help!!

[Nylah]

How many times I need to offer you a damn plane ticket before you say yes and just come deal with my DIY projects for me

Okay, here is the problem

I bought this great chair for $25 at a flea market a few yrs back. (I think I posted a pix of it last yr)

Anyhoo, I was going to have it reupholstered (sp?) but then decided I like the pale pink covering, and would just refinish the wood since it is chipped and stuff.

-so this weekend I sanded down the chair
-sprayed a sanding sealant on the wood
-spray painted the wood with a high gloss white lacquer finish.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Problem:</span> I tried my best to spray the wood evenly but in some spots the spray paint ran, so I have dip marks in some spots. If I try to sand and re-spra (even when I saind just lightly) I lift off too much lacquer and the reapplied spot looks uneven

<span style="font-weight: bold">
What is the best way to fix the spots where the lacquer finished has left drip marks</span>?

Wish I could help you with that Nylah, I would have said sand &amp; then used a brush paint.
I rarely use spray paint cos I really suck at it!!

Have you thought about a straight edge razor to shave down the drip, then sanding to blend it in??
Sometimes the sanding isn't concentrated enough on that one spot and affects everything around it...

well this truly does suck

I'll try the straight edge and see how it goes.

If not then I will stop being so cheap and take it to a finishing guy.

They dont have paint in the high gloss that I wanted when I went to Benjamin Moore. For the piano high gloss lacquer finish I wanted, spraying painting was my only option.

Re: Q.K. I need your Help!!

you don't need paint with high gloss.
Just get the colour you need and then add a clear coat after (this is the high gloss finish u want).

Re: Q.K. I need your Help!!



Andrew, I have done that before and the &quot;gloss&quot; level with a clear gloss coat wasnt what I wanted.

The high brillance shine that you find on pianos is what i am aiming for. And the paint options dont provide that just the lacquer option.
