I want to paint my old furniture. How do I get optimal results?

Asked by linguaphile (14574points) June 15th, 2012

I would like to paint several pieces of old furniture—a table, end table, coffee table, etc. I don’t want to stain them, but want to paint with bright colors.

I tried to paint one table with acrylic paint- it was a disaster.

What’s the best type of paint to use on furniture that will be used frequently?

What things should I know before I start?
