Give Old Furniture a Fresh New Look

With a bit of sanding, cleaning and spraying, you can transform a tired wooden table into a stylish statement piece for your living room. The White Knight Squirts range has over 40+ on trend colours to choose from and is self-priming, allowing you to kickstart your project this weekend.

What you’ll need
Gather the following materials:
  • Turpentine
  • Cleaning cloth
  • 180-grit sandpaper
  • White Knight Squirts (your choice of 40+ colours!)
  • Second-hand timber furniture (table, sideboard, coffee table… anything!)

How To Apply

  • Choose a timber furniture piece with a shape and size that suits your space.

  • Use 180-grit sandpaper to sand the entire surface.

  • Focus on creating a smooth, lightly roughened surface so the paint can grip properly.

  • Wipe the furniture thoroughly with turpentine and a clean cloth.

  • Make sure you remove oils, dust and old residue before painting.

  • Allow the surface to dry completely before spraying.

1Choose Furniture & Prep.

  • Shake the can well before use.

  • Spray in light, even coats rather than applying too much paint at once.

  • Keep the can moving as you spray to help avoid drips or uneven patches.

  • Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.

  • Apply a second light coat to build colour and help protect the surface for everyday use.

  • Let the furniture dry fully before moving or styling it.

2Spray Two Coats.

  • Enjoy your second-hand find looking curated, intentional and completely revived.

3Style & Enjoy.
