Most Stainless Steel Dining Room Table Legs Manual primers are designed to improve paint adhesion without extra effort. Brush a thin even coat of topcoat paint over the primed surfaces. For the most durable job, this is the first of two coats on most surfaces, the first of three on the chair seats and the table top. Use long, even strokes and avoid going back over painted areas to produce the smoothest job.

Any small streaks or missed spots can be covered by the second coat. Check and wipe any drips. Let the first coat dry at least two hours and preferably longer for full drying.

Sand the fully dried top coat surfaces lightly with grit paper. Wipe sanding residue off thoroughly. Apply a smooth even second top coat, using long even strokes to create the smoothest possible surface. Let paint dry completely. Lightly sand chair seats and the table top with grit paper. Apply a third thin even coat of topcoat paint. This prolongs the surfaces that receive hardest use. Keep furniture out of use for 24 hours so that paint dries completely and forms a tight bond with the wood surfaces.

Apply a single coat of clear polyurethane if you want further protection from hard use. Keep furniture out of use for an additional 24 hours.

While numerous coats of surface protection seem time-consuming, this emulates commercial furniture painting, which often covers paint with a lacquer coating that resists chipping and scratching. Before embarking on sanding old previously painted furniture, be aware that, according to Country LIving columnist Helen Fendelman, the highest incidence of lead-based paint on furniture is not on truly antique 18th to 19th-century furniture but rather on pieces manufactured during the early to midth century.

Use a hardware-store lead-paint test kit or contact your local county Extension service for lead-safe alternatives to sanding. Ventilate your work space and wear eye and breathing protection whenever sanding or refinishing wood.
