\"Paint<\/p>\n

Looking to finish your painted pieces with a silky smooth paint finish? Want a little paint pro tip?<\/p>\n

This one is another EASY one. Pinky swear.<\/p>\n

It’s a quick and easy step that many people skip and it can make such a BIG impact.<\/p>\n

It’s SO easy!<\/p>\n

\"Pro<\/p>\n

(oh and no being all jealous of my lovely manicure, my poor hands need a professional lol)<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s how you can achieve a professional silky smooth finish<\/h2>\n

You’ve finished painting your piece of furniture with Fusion Mineral Paint<\/a>, Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint <\/a>or FAT Paint<\/a> chalk style paint.<\/p>\n

You are getting ready to top coat with one of our waxes<\/a> or clear coats, but BEFORE you do – here’s the SECRET<\/p>\n

Give your piece a full sand with a very high grit sandpaper!<\/h2>\n

A butter smooth sanding all over with change your piece dramatically.<\/p>\n

Use 400 grit (or higher) piece of sandpaper all over your piece and I PROMISE you that you WILL feel a difference.<\/p>\n

I use this one<\/a>, but any soft sandpaper with a high grit will work.<\/p>\n

(the HIGHER the number on the sandpaper the SOFTER it is)<\/p>\n

\"our<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I know many paints say “no final sand required” but trust me, you don’t want to skip this pro step.<\/p>\n

See, I told you, easy peasy and has HUGE impact.<\/h2>\n

What pieces are YOU working on lately? Let me know if you have tried sanding your entire piece and the results you found!<\/p>\n

Have any other questions about getting a smooth paint finish? Pop them in the comments and I’ll try to answer them for you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Happy painting friends!<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/h2>\n
