You will need

- Paintbrushes and mini roller
- Soft cloth
- 500ml Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer
- 1 litre Resene Waterborne Enamacryl Gloss Enamel
Step-by-step instructions

Step 3
Step one: Sand the entire paintable surface using a light-grade sandpaper, making sure your movements follow the same direction as the wood grain. Once sanding is complete, wipe down all surfaces with a soft, damp, well wrung out cloth. Allow to dry.
Step two: Paint the entire surface with a coat of Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer. This provides a grip on smooth surfaces, readying them for topcoating with your favourite Resene topcoat.
Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer is waterborne, has lower VOCs than solvent-borne products and is Environmental Choice approved.
Step three: Using a mini roller for a super-smooth finish, topcoat all surfaces with Resene Enamacryl waterborne gloss enamel in a shade of your choice. For maximum drama, we chose Resene Blackjack from the Resene Whites & Neutrals collection.
