The main recommendations for painting:

1. Since the surface of the product is already processed and prepared, you can start work. If you consider it necessary, then use the “finish” sandpaper for additional processing so that the paint on the surface lies tight. Grinding is always performed in the direction along the fibers of the wood.

2. The protective coating of wood is carried out using a stain: alcohol, water, butter.

3. The primer provides even paint.

4. Now you can proceed to painting. It is better to use modern acrylic paints: they are bright and persistent. Oil paints are also suitable, but they dry slower. Beginners, as a rule, use artistic gouache.

5. Fixing the picture: Acrylic varnish is usually used for this. Furniture varnishes (nitrolaki) or oil can also be used. But it is worth considering that acrylic varnish under the influence of heat makes the product a little sticky.
