Modern interior items go out of fashion very quickly or lose their attractiveness, but acquiring new ones is not always possible. In this connection, the question arises: how to repaint furniture from chipboard with your own hands so that the product acquires an attractive appearance? It is not always easy to do this, because the result is influenced not only right choice materials and technology, but also the accuracy of the process.
Do-it-yourself painting of old furniture is a difficult and risky procedure. The fact is that for the manufacture of interior items (wardrobes, chests of drawers, kitchen modules), processed materials with a decorative layer are used. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly determine the type of coverage in order to draw up a work plan.
Chipboards used in furniture production, can be of the following types:
There are other types of plates, but they are not so common.
How to paint old furniture
To paint boring or defective interior items, you need to choose a composition suitable for these purposes. The main recommendation when choosing is to abandon cheap options.
Paint for furniture from chipboard should be chosen, taking into account the characteristics of the compositions:
- Oil. Preference should be given to well-known brands. A significant disadvantage is unpleasant and toxic fumes, in addition, the drying period of the solution is quite long. It is necessary to lay such a mixture in thin layers, which is why the material is used infrequently.
- Acrylic. Modern version water-dispersed paints. The composition has many positive qualities which makes it in demand. But when working with laminated chipboard, it is necessary to purchase a solution with increased adhesion and not dilute it with water.
- Alkyd. This option is much preferable to oil. The products are suitable for painting furniture, but work is carried out in well-ventilated areas due to the specific smell of the composition.
Of the three proposed, the best is acrylic paint, oil paint is affordable, and alkyd enamel is considered the golden mean. On a note! For tinting or decorating small areas, spray paint is used. For example, on bedside table one or two containers are required.
Chipboard can be repainted with other types of compositions. The stain is used only for tinting veneered material. The varnish serves to fix the decorative layer, it can act as an independent composition, but this will require complex training basics. For work, it is better to use a quick-drying variety.
An obligatory element of the coating is a primer, the composition must have good adhesion.
None without soil decorative coating not applied to chipboard How to paint chipboard
Painting wood chipboard furniture includes two main steps:
- preparatory stage;
- painting work.
On a note! When deciding on painting laminated chipboard, it should be borne in mind that the end result, even if all the nuances are observed, does not always meet expectations.
It is convenient to paint chipboard from an aerosol can, especially if you want to make a stencil pattern Tool selection
Various tools can be used for work:
- Airbrush. Due to the fact that furniture parts made of wood-shaving material have a flat base, it is this device that is the best option. When sprayed, the paint can be laid more evenly. The main problem with this tool is correct selection distances. In the case of erroneous calculations, streaks and sagging are formed.
- roller. This device is most often used at home. It is not always easy to paint with a roller, since the applied layer must have a small thickness, otherwise sagging will become noticeable. To paint furniture, tools with a medium-length fur coat are used.
- Foam sponge. Suitable for tinting and painting well-primed elements, it allows you to get a uniform coating, but subject to the utmost care.
When restoring old furniture, you can get by with an affordable tool Brushes for such a process are rarely used, their main purpose is decoration. They allow you to create the effect of antiquity, but if a base layer was previously applied that hides the base.
On a note! repainting old table or a chest of drawers, the docking of parts is taken into account: a new layer should not lead to the appearance of distortions and protruding sections.
Foundation preparation
Step by step preparation instructions:
This is how all the details are handled.
If it is not possible to completely disassemble old furniture, then before painting the floor is covered with polyethylene
repainting
Coating of fragments with paint is carried out according to the scheme:
- The element is primed. It is recommended to perform at least two treatments, each time waiting for the product to dry completely.
- being prepared coloring composition. It is well stirred and tinted if necessary.
- The mixture is poured into a convenient container for the roller. The tool is impregnated with a solution, the excess is squeezed out.
- Painting starts from the middle. The mixture rolls well on the base, the movements should be parallel, it is impossible to create a thick layer. The first layer is the base, you must wait until it dries completely.
- Then the main coating is applied according to the previous principle.
- When using an airbrush, you will need to dilute the composition used. For selection optimal distance training staining is carried out.
Regardless of the type of composition, the surface is painted in 2 - 3 layers If the part is subject to constant impact, then an additional layer of varnish is applied.
Furniture decoration
Decorating such material is not too easy. Many recommendations are found on creating the Provence style, but it will not work to achieve the effect that is obtained on furniture made of wood, plywood or MDF. This is due to the fact that chipboard products rarely have the desired appearance.
Using simple fixtures on furniture made of chipboard, you can create genuine masterpieces You can diversify the interior in the following ways:
- Painting countertops or dresser fronts White color, and other front parts - in black. For this, paint with a glossy finish is used. The technology completely repeats the one described above, but the difference lies in applying three layers of varnish to the parts. The first layer is left untreated, and the subsequent ones are ground and polished.
To work in the "Decoupage" technique (artificial aging), special paints are used - Aging. To create this effect, after laying the base coat, paint with a darker color is applied with a brush. The movements should be sweeping and slightly uneven, a diluted white composition can be applied on top. Everything is fixed with varnish.
When the question arises of painting any element or detail, then stories of unsuccessful painting over old paint, as well as the fact that before the next painting, the old paintwork must be removed. Let's try to figure out whether this is so and how, as well as in what sequence it will be performed removing old paint.
To calculate paint consumption, you can use the paint consumption calculator.
You can of course take the easy way and paint the surface without pre-cleaning, and it may seem to you that this is the optimal, fast and correct solution at this point in time, but it is not! It should be said right away that painting over the old paint will bring a short-term effect and after a while the new paintwork will begin to swell, peel off and most likely disappear. Below we will talk more about painting over old paint because it still exists. In order to avoid such unpleasant consequences, you must do the following:
- Remove all layers of old paint;
- Degrease the surface;
- Treat with a primer.
Only after following this sequence can you start applying a new paintwork.
There are the following options for removing old paint:
- Paint annealing;
- Sandblast;
- Chemical washing of old paint (from special formulations)
The best way to clean metal surfaces from paint to date is a special liquid.
Tools that come in handy for removing old paint and painting the surface.
- The paint remover itself or a special chemical composition for this;
- Protective gloves;
- Respirator to protect the respiratory tract;
- Sandpaper;
- Putty knife.
When choosing chemicals for removing old paint must choose quality formulations, such materials are certainly not cheap, but the result from their use will be an order of magnitude higher than from the use of cheaper analogues.
Protective gloves must be worn before surface treatment. In addition, it is necessary to protect the upper respiratory tract from harmful vapors and toxic toxins that are released when the liquid interacts with old paint.
It is important to remember that after applying a layer of special liquid on old paint, it takes a certain time for the peeling process to begin. The time that must be endured is often indicated in the instructions.
After the exposure is completed, you can safely proceed to removing old paint. To do this, you can use a spatula, prying off the exfoliated layers of old paint with it and removing it from the surface. It should be noted that if the old paint has several layers, then re-treatment of the surface will be required.
For better cleansing surface, after processing and removing the old paintwork, it is recommended to also clean it with sandpaper (it is necessary to remove the smallest particles of old paint and level the surface).
Last cleaning of old paint performed with a solvent (White spirit).
Next, we will consider painting the walls with old paint and talk about the stages of such painting. Before starting to paint the walls with old paint, it is necessary, as in the case of metal, to treat the surface to be painted well, to remove old layer paint, rust, mold,
If you do decide to apply a layer of paint over the old coating, then there is a possibility of incompatibility colorful materials, discoloration, and when dry, bubbles, cracks, paint may peel or peel off.
It is possible to remove it without it, only in cases where the compositions of the paints do not differ, but it should be noted that the original color may not differ significantly as a result. In order not to make a mistake with the colors, you can conduct a small test before painting: small plot walls you will need new paint, let dry for 30-40 minutes. If the result suits you, then you can safely start painting on the old paint.
Old paintwork, rust, small bumps, you can remove with metal brushes or special scrapers. Large defects on concrete, stone, brick walls they are removed with grinding stones, such as pumice, and wooden ones with planers, chisels. If there is on the wall mold fungus, then such an area must be treated with a bactericidal solution against mold. After applying such a solution, after 12 hours, fungal infections are easily removed with a spatula or a stiff brush.
For living quarters most suitable option are water-dispersion paints, or water-based.
Conclusion A: Basic requirement before painting the walls with old paint- these are carefully protected, leveled, dried surfaces, only after all these procedures, you can start applying the paintwork.
There are many ways to apply paint to walls and ceilings: brushes, rollers, sprayers, foam tools. The final result, as well as the life of the paintwork, will depend on the chosen method of painting. Painting with a roller is the most popular and inexpensive method, since it is convenient to apply paint with it, distribute it over the surface. But for such hard-to-reach places like wall corners, skirting edges, etc. it is more convenient to use a brush. For large surfaces, a spray gun is more convenient, faster and more uniform, and the surface to be painted will look better than when applied with a roller or brush.
In every house there is furniture , which is of paramount importance in the interior of the room. Wherever she stands, no matter what she is - a closet, a chair, a table, a soft corner, she stands in front of everyone. In addition to the main purpose of furniture should be a pleasant sight, and it can serve as a decoration of the room.

Chipboard will require less primer than wood.
So how do you paint your closet? ? What paint to apply? Best Option will use alkyd or acrylic paint on water based.

Also suitable regular paint on wood or aerosol.
There is a wide variety of acrylic paints with a metallic or mother-of-pearl effect.
To thoroughly paint, use varnishes. They will give the furniture the effect of antiquity. She will look great. The plane needs to be painted in several layers, first let each layer dry. This is not their only property.
Varnishes help to fix the color and protect against minor defects.
You can paint the wardrobe different colors, for example, a light base and multi-colored details. For the desired color white paint add tone. When decorating a children's room, use all the fiction. Having decided what shade you need, apply paint to a small area furniture , so you will understand what color paint will be needed, what will be its brightness.
Each manufacturer produces an appropriate primer for their paint, and it is better to use this particular primer.
Necessary materials and tools
Before you start painting, you need to stock up necessary materials: adhesive tape construction; napkins or rags or sponges; sandpaper different grits to remove the previous layer of paint; degreaser; primer; putty (automotive is quite suitable); thinner or white spirit - will remove residues old paint; glue; dye; varnish; gloves, for painting it is better to take rubber.
Materials and tools for work.
Of the tools you will need: stationery and carpentry knives; building hair dryer to dry the painted surface; flat brush - it’s better not to save on brushes, buy high-quality ones so that the villi do not remain on the surface; roller; putty knife; screwdrivers; a hammer; nails; drill.
From the furniture you need to remove the fittings, remove the shelves, remove the doors. Then get to work.
Close up the cracks
The appearance of cracks on objects furniture from chipboard, as a rule, moisture ingress contributes, they are also formed due to exposure to heat or frequent opening and closing of doors, without sticking to them, slamming doors. You can remove this defect yourself without resorting to outside help.
To work, you will need a syringe with a needle, clamps, PVA glue.
We fill the syringe with PVA glue, put on the needle. We fill the entire gap of the crack with glue. We attach a clamp to the plane from the side where the crack appeared, and tighten it. Excess glue is removed with a napkin. We leave for a day or two. After the time has passed, we continue the restoration work.
You can get rid of cracks with putty.
We apply the mixture on the plane with a spatula in two layers. The first layer is distributed equally evenly on the surface. We are waiting for it to dry, apply a second layer of putty, also let it dry.
Create a rough surface
Before painting, it is necessary to remove the old layer of paint. We will do it with sandpaper after wiping the surface with a cloth or sponge. Sand in circular motions. First we clean sandpaper coarse grain. We carry out the work carefully, removing the old coating . Be careful not to rub off the veneer layer.
After the procedure, remove the dust with a flat brush, the dust will not be completely removed from the rag and may clog into the surface or cracks. This may affect the paintwork.
We are cleaning again, but already sandpaper fine granularity. We remove dust in the same way. Upon completion of this stage of restoration, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the premises.
This is necessary so that in the future dirt does not get on the surface to be painted.
Remove grease and dirt
Chipboard furniture must be cleaned of dirt and grease before painting. For this procedure, fat-dissolving agents are used.
Wash with a sponge or soft cloth, rinse, let dry, wipe with a cloth.
Primer - the main character
The primer is an important part in the process of furniture restoration, with its help you will paint the cabinet with high quality. She will also help fast drying paint, because it does not allow moisture to be absorbed into the surface. positive moment is that after priming, the color saturation of the paint will remain the same as when painting.
If you chose acrylic paint for painting, then you need to take an acrylic-based primer.
Coloring will be very good quality, because the elements of materials for painting are perfectly combined with each other. Before priming, it is important to read the instruction manual, find out how long the primer should dry, since only a dry surface needs to be painted.
Apply it with a roller in a very thin layer, leave for the time indicated in the memo.
The technology of applying paint and varnish on furniture
After the above preparations, we proceed directly to painting.There must be several layers, so the structure of the plane will not be visible. First, paint a tone lighter than the selected color.
The paint needs to be diluted with water from time to time, otherwise it may thicken.
Then we work with the main color, moving the brush in one direction, so the paint lays down evenly.
The number of layers is determined visually, to achieve the desired effect.
If using multiple colors, use masking tape on the edges so that the colors do not mix. It takes a certain time for the furniture to dry completely - about 2-3 days. After we cover the surface with a transparent varnish, this will protect it from external influences.
When the work is completed, we collect the elements of the cabinet.
Applying paint or varnish is necessary not only for beauty, but also to prevent the release of hazardous substances, in particular, formaldehyde. If there are children at home and it is of great importance for you that the finishing materials are odorless, use water-based acrylic varnishes.
After painting, your furniture will not only change its appearance, it will become a highlight of the interior.
Another acceptable option is NC varnish. Dries instantly, dusty coating is not noticeable on it. It is better to apply it in two layers. If the furniture already has a certain coating , it would be ideal to apply oil varnish PF-283.
The lining will become strong and sound, will last a very long time.
Want to cover if it was tinted, use tinted alkyd varnish, especially since the color palette is quite diverse. To add gloss, use yacht varnish, the furniture will look just perfect.
Good for protection as well decorative finishes surfaces made of wood is yacht lacquer.
Of course, the preparation of furniture for painting takes a lot of time. If you ignore them, the proper effect may not be, but coating applied to furniture will quickly fall off. Everything must be done according to the rules. Updating outdated furniture is not difficult, as it may seem.
A little imagination and patience, and a luxurious piece of furniture will appear in the house.

Options for updating old cabinets - 50 photo ideas:
To update the interior and spend redecorating, it is not necessary to buy new expensive furniture - it is enough to repaint the old one. You can keep the familiar design only by refreshing the colors and masking defects and scuffs, or you can completely change the design style by adding color and finishing materials familiar objects furnishing a completely new look.
Preliminary preparation
Before proceeding with painting, the surface of old cabinets, chairs and tables must be carefully sanded and cleaned. Old layers of paint will not adhere to the new coating, and very soon the restored furniture will look even worse than before treatment.
The next step is to eliminate defects. Deep cracks and scratches should be puttied, wait until the coating dries, and go over with sandpaper again to remove all irregularities. The third stage of preparation is priming. It is necessary for two reasons: to ensure good adhesion (adhesion of paint to the surface) and to reduce paint consumption (which, without priming, is more absorbed into the substrate).
Even if there is no old paint or varnish on the furniture, it must be cleaned of dirt and dust before starting work. Carelessly carried out preparation will nullify all your efforts, forcing you to repeat the repair procedure in the very near future.
Materials and tools
Best of all, enamels will cope with the task. They form a durable coating that is resistant to external influences. Depending on the selected degree of gloss, the painted surface can be either matte or glossy.
A traditional roller can be used as a tool, but it is well suited for large, flat surfaces - for example, if you need to paint a cabinet, countertop or door. Small parts, joints or corners it is very difficult to paint over so, for such painstaking work it is better to arm yourself with a set of different-sized paint brushes.
Secret 1: Upgraded furniture can be painted much better if it is dismantled in advance, dismantling and unscrewing all the elements as much as possible.
Secret 2: To paint furniture two colors and keep a clear line between them, use painter's paper tape. Make sure that there is not the slightest gap between the paper and the surface, otherwise the drawing will turn out to be smeared, streaks and stains of paint are also possible.

Choice of paintwork materials
LKM are classified according to the following criteria:
- By composition (on a water and organic basis);
- By protective action (against organic and chemical substances, mechanical influences, changes in humidity and temperature);
- By the method of use (internal, external, combined);
- By type (impregnation, paints, stains, varnishes).
1. Paints. Can be used on new and old doors. There are no difficulties with the choice, but due to incompetence, people choose the wrong material. Paints and varnishes are transparent and opaque. The first compositions include certain pigments that exhibit a woody structure. But opaque coatings are often used, consisting of organic solvents (oil, alkyd and other types).
The most popular is alkyd enamel, the cost of which is affordable. This coating has high strength, a wide range of shades. But the enamel smells bad, its unpleasant smell remains for 2 days, so they work with it on the street, after removing the canvas from the hinges or freeing up the room. An alternative solution is acrylic enamel, which also has many colors but no toxic smell. The dried paint does not have much strength, so it is additionally treated with acrylic varnish to protect it from mechanical stress.
Rice. 2. Paint on wood A more resistant coating for wood doors is nitro paint, which has optimal strength. The composition is toxic, sometimes leads to allergic manifestations, so you need to work with it in protective equipment. If nitro paint is processed old surface, preparation and grinding of the panel is carried out in advance to a light shade.
2. Lucky. They belong to the traditional coatings that give wood a shine and protect its surface. Typically, varnish is used to cover doors in rooms with high humidity(baths and saunas).
There are many different varnishes:
- Acrylic. The material is resistant to negative impacts, humidity and ultraviolet. Distinguish matte and glossy finish without toxic odor.
- Nitrocellulose. Varnish can be used to process wooden doors. The coating is not suitable for processing bathrooms and baths, as it has insufficient strength and cracks quickly.
- Lacquer with a water base. It does not have an unpleasant odor. Material properties may vary due to different additives.
- Polyurethane. The varnish has high strength and adhesion to wood, it can be matte, semi-gloss and glossy. In addition to wood, polyurethane varnishes can be applied to parquet, veneer, countertops.
- Oil varnish. There is no strong odor. The composition contains a lot of fatty resins, so the old coating is removed from the door in advance. It is better to apply with a brush because of the thick consistency.
- polyester. The composition has a pungent odor, is highly durable, but toxic, therefore it is suitable for processing street doors.
It is better to paint interior doors with acrylic or polyurethane coating, and for external works or rooms with high humidity resistant materials are suitable.

There are several options:
- With lacquer base (azure). The composition reduces the duration of work, but it is difficult to achieve aesthetics, so a plain surface can be obtained by spraying with an airbrush;
- With oils. Before use it is necessary to dilute with solvent;
- With water. It dries longer, but there is no toxic smell. The composition penetrates deeply, giving more saturated shade and a clear pattern that looks beautiful;

From below we process a panel with jambs so as not to disturb the design of the structure.
After the water-based stain has been applied, the surface should be sanded with a zero-grain sandpaper (due to raised fibers), remove dust and apply next layer coatings. If an alcohol stain is used, the fibers do not rise and no sanding is required. But water compounds do not have bad smell and toxicity.
Oil or wax impregnations
At the processing of the canvas oil impregnated there are nuances. First, the composition of Pinotex is well mixed. If applied incorrectly, dark areas and stripes may appear. For work, a brush, sprayer, roller or sponge made of foam rubber is used. Depending on the porosity of the material, the number of layers will be calculated.
Rice. 12. Wax application First, they collect a little composition, distributing it evenly over the width of the panel. Then the impregnation is rolled out with a roller or rubbed with a brush without sagging. Drying time is 8-12 hours. No later than a day later, another layer is applied.
