Thanks

Are you familiar with something similar?

That's a good point. What about using TSP on top?

Ok, are there no paints that will sit on top of the shine? Thanks.

Great, thank you. Yes, I indent to clean them thoroughly, and you recommend White spirit for the task? Which paint would sit on top of the laquared/oil based gloss paint/varnished surface?

Ok, thank you. No, I did think I'd have to put some serious work in, until i heard that about annie Sloan - if I can avoid it, why not? If I painted an object that has no chips or dents, but is already painted and lacquered/varnished. Can I psibt over it, and get perfect results? Thanks for...

So tell me, when do you think it's ok to not sand and prime, and get a good finish, and when it's unavoidable?

According to nev, sanding a priming are required for a slightly damaged, right through to dilapidated pieces of furniture. Do you agree?

Another great reply - thanks a lot! :)

Ive heard that many times, thank you. Am I able to paint over a varnished piece of furniture with another type of paint, and get a great finish, or will I have to sand and prime it?

No I haven't. Thank you. Well, in some pieces I want a perfect finish, in others I want a less perfect finish - like your wife achieved. Do you have any recommendations of paints that will give me a perfect finish, without priming and sanding? Or is there no escaping the hard labour?

Can someone please help me?

Ok, let me rephrase that - paint that will be great when applied without sanding or usung primer - like annie Sloan is suppose to be?

Apparently, annie sloan paint can be applied without sanding an object down, or using a primer - is that true? If so, what other paint manufacturers do the same?

Thanks everyone.

So not oak... What do you this it is?

I don't have any sand paper or saw ATM, I'll try and get one, but how about these pics?

Thanks for your replies guys. I will post a pic ASAP.

Is this oak, and how can I tell?
