Default Re: Fo finishes on cheap furniture

The T.D. who taught me everything In know was an AMAZING painter. He would tint up 3 or 4 cups of paint, walk over to a piece of furniture, and just paint it. BOOM. In less than an hour you would swear it was solid oak from more than 2 feet away. He would just wet blend the grain in there with the most amazing dry brush skills you've ever seen. I watched and watched but there's no way I'll ever be able to do it. His horror story was the time he did a set like a cabin interior and painted Knotty Pine walls for days. Oh to be half the tech he is.
