Can You Paint Lacquer Furniture

It has a quick drying time and doesn t smell like some of the others.
Can you paint lacquer furniture. As with any furniture finish the time you put into sanding and prepping the surface will pay off with a smooth surface. You will need to condition the lacquered surface through abrasion techniques. Paint is not as durable as lacquer. Lacquer is a varnish that is often used on wood to create a durable and shiny surface.
First because lacquered paint is slick and glossy it is poorly suited for paint adhesion. In addition because lacquered furniture is so smooth you should employ a particular application strategy that will promote a smooth professional looking finish free of. A clear lacquer can be used on a natural wood surface or you can employ a shiny colored lacquer to make furniture more noticeable. I recommend using a primer first.
Flatten and degloss an old finish with a palm sander and 120 to 150 grit sandpaper scraping off loose paint with a paint scraper as you work. I do believe you can sometimes get a bleed through with lacquered products in dark colours.
