Paint colors for wood – paint old furniture
Choose the right wood color for furniture
Let’s start this topic with what’s wrong. Under no circumstances should you go to the store and ask for the cheapest option. Because you will not improve your furniture, but destroy it.
The question of how to decide, but comes at the latest in the business on the agenda.
Because there you will have a pretty big, yes confusing selection in all price ranges. Here are some key criteria that will hopefully make your selection easier.
The surface and the matching paint colors for wood
In the first place you should choose a paint color, which fits well with the surface, which is to be processed. In general, you can not use the same kind of paint for the old dresser and the staircase area.
First, ask yourself if it is an indoor or outdoor surface. That’s the first criterion. In the interior one relies on the smoothness and the radiance. Outside, the paint color should be rather flexible and elastic. Because the change in temperature will make them change their own dimensions and shapes. The same applies to the painted surfaces. A good paint color must be able to react accordingly.
Paint for the garden
For benches, pergolas, fences, roofing, you definitely need moisture-resistant paint. The requirements are even greater if the wood elements to be processed also have a supporting function and at the same time are exposed to the external conditions and the glaring sun. These are about the outside stairs or the beams on the garden shed. They must also withstand mechanical impact and have UV protection.
Red garden chair
These are the urethane paint colors, which one chooses again and again. If you want our opinion, you also prefer to buy paint that is antiseptic. To protect yourself from mold and other unpleasant phenomena caused by bacteria. Matching in such cases, the paint colors, which one finds in the market for the yachts. Because you have been thought for very long endurance and hard mechanical influence.
Paint color inside
If you have a lot of work inside, then consider the oil paint in the first place. Natural oil or olive are the first choice. You must expect that the surfaces, which are processed with such a paint, should be slightly yellowish. In many cases, however, this is perceived as an advantage.
The process of drying is longer than the other types of paint. After that, it’s worth it, because they have an elastic surface that will successfully resist many mechanical influences. They are also resistant to the UV waves. This is quite important in sunny indoor spaces.
Nitrolack
Nitro lacquer is another alternative. It is also very suitable for the interior. Such paint would dry off very quickly. But you should be very careful with the water spilling. Because this can very quickly contribute to harm.
If you need paint in one place, where you always have to clean again, then choose the Alcaid variants. They will last a long while protecting the surface.
Water-based paint, for restoration and a little more …
The water-based paint colors are the most environmentally friendly choice. They are also best for your and your children’s health.
When it comes to restorations, the liquor variants are the most appropriate.
One last aspect that we want to address is the choice of paint color for smooth and matt surfaces. One must be aware of these characteristics of the furniture in any case in the selection. You know that there are also intermediate variants, right?
There are special paint colors for all options
Let’s just conclude that you could also use one or more layers. Up to three are possible depending on the condition of the surface.
