OMG I can't believe I found you. Listen, or read rather, someone shared this video with me on Facebook and I lost this video. I'm a perfectionist and I love when people do things right. Your finish is the absolute best I've seen on RUclips.
So much work goes into this. Having good equipment is crucial. I love watching the video. Your look😂. I know the videos are not easy to make! I really appreciate getting to see the whole process like this. Thank you.
Oh wow! This is such a serious transformation. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I can’t believe how many steps goes into refinishing furniture let alone this piece that required so much attention to detail in order to obtain the smooth and high gloss finish. Bravo!
I've been in the automotive refinishing industry for over 15 years, I'm must say so do exceptional work. In the industry there are painter and refinishers. Anyone can be a painter but not everyone can be a refinisher. You take no short cuts in your prep work and your final product reflects it.
May I suggest you trying the 3m accuspray gun for high solids applications, it lays down high solids like glass. Also spray polyester "sprayable bondo" which is very similar to FPE putty except you don't have to brush, so no brush marks to sand flat. Evercoat makes a very economical one called Slick Sand. But if you prefer something more premier Spies Hecker Raderal Spray Polyester 3508. Both these products could save you countless hours in prep without sacrificing quality. I also noticed you using the festool sander which is a fantastic DA sander. You may also want to check out Hutchins they make some of the best in the world.
Outstanding. Absolutely love the color, the finish, the gold leaf the handles. That was a lot of hard work, attention to detail and great envisioning of the final product. GOOOORRRRGEOUS. Can I have???
I forgot to say that I just “discovered” you thanks to algorithms one of your videos was next on a feed. You have some serious skills! Love your work! 👌🏽🔥
Hello From England. I loved watching this video. You are so patient and professional. I have been painting furniture for over 8 years and have wanted to try my hand at high gloss finishes, you are definitely the right person to learn from, you are an inspiration. Thank you
I always love watching your creative process, your attention to detail and the absolutely exquisite end products! Thanks for letting us in on your work. You have a lot to be proud of
Absolutely Gorgeous! You're hard work definitely paid off love your attention to detail, Absolutely Amazing! What a Beautiful Transformation! Love your work!❤️
Wonderful looking outcome. I had to look for the Etsy price and for the time you have in this piece it is not out of line in my opinion. The gold leaf on the back is a nice touch, it really accents the color.
You always get the best hardware. Great call on the gold leaf too! Thanks for showing so much detail of your process it really helps all of us. Question: between all or your sanding steps I saw you vacuumed. Did you also use a tack cloth or wipe down with mineral spirits to get the very small residual dust? Thanks again.
I’ve never read anywhere that says prime first then apply BP. But the can does say to prime after BP. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!
This is gorgeous. The gold leafing in the back is stunning. Is it necessary to sand down to bare wood for this particular paint type or is that an individual preference? I think your spray booth is ingenious! What kinds of polls were those? I’m on my way to buy some of this paint today. I’m so excited to try this!
It's a beautiful piece and your painting talents should take you into the automotive restoration biz! I would have hesitated to paint over that inlay, but seeing that the drawers are not dovetailed, I imagine that this is a lower end piece. Did you end up selling it and for what price? So glad that you like color! You must have a special niche in the industry because everyone else is using either cottage white or black! I've seen a pair of beautiful high end book cases painted in this color and I'll never forget them. They had doors on them with metal netting instead of glass making for a french country look. Did it ever occur to you to head in that direction with this piece? Maybe you can help me with a search. I'm looking for the gold paint that's used on the frames of fine art paintings. It's not sold in spray cans at Lowes, etc. It's a rich, deep gold. Is that a paint that you're familiar with?
I've not tried it, but it looks cool for some types of applications! In this instance, I would've had to very carefully paint it onto the glass with a tiny brush to get it into the teeny tight spaces of the fretwork. Taping was way faster in this case. I've also heard that you can just spray on the masking - even getting it on the wood - but I'm like....no way. NEVER. I go through such painstaking lengths to make sure my wood surfaces are clean and free of everything that there's no way i'd spray on masking liquid and risk that contamination or it interfering with adhesion of my primer and paint. Sorry for the long novel response! Great question by the way!
Gorgeous work! But when taking the tape off, did any of the paint on the wood come with it? I've found that if I don't take the tape off before the paint dries, when pulling the tape off, the paint on the wood part will come with it in some places. Looks like you took the tape off when it was completely dry. How do you avoid that from happening? BTW, is that real gold leaf? And did you sell that piece? If so, can I ask for how much?
Thank you:) None of the paint peeled off when tape was removed. That almost never happens with oil based paint. That’s more common in water based, acrylics or latex paints. However, a properly prepped, primed and painted surface should not have paint peeling off of it. If it’s peeling, that means there wasn’t proper adhesion - which most likely means the surface wasn’t adequately Cleaned or sanded or primed well enough. But in the future, if you need to remove tape after the paint has dried, you can use a sharp razor to score the paint along the tape line then pull the tape. It’s not real gold leaf…just gold leaf that I bought from hobby lobby - it was inexpensive!
This is unbelievable!!! It looks so perfect! Do you mind me asking what spraying tool you are using? I have painted my son’s book shelf with a Fine paints of Europe brush - in a paint booth, wearing a painting suit, and yet there are specs of dust all over 😭 I think it comes from the brush!!
I'm using a Satajet x5500 here. While the dust definitely could be coming from your brush....that's only part of it. The surface itself could've still been dusty (it's crazy difficult to get your substrate fully clean enough) and the ambient dust in the air will all contaminate your painted surface. Even my project here is not 100% dust free. I do the best I can with making an air tight plastic booth like you see in the video, and also i go through at least 5 rounds of cleaning the substrate before spraying. all this to say, it's not only the brush's fault. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment!
I am new to your channel. You are sooo talented!!!! I am looking to redo my dining room table. It gets very little use and I LOVE the Italian Florentine look, do you think the gold leaf is something than can be done on a table top? Do you have a link for the gold leaf?
I would only recommend gold leafing a table top if you were to then cover it with glass. I don't have a link for the gold leaf, but I purchased it from Hobby Lobby!
Because I am not a painter, I am going to ask a silly question that I haven’t asked but I have thought many times… on a wood piece that it is going to have the paint stripped out, and sanded, why does it need to be cleaned and washed first?
Not a silly question at all. It’s a common question! Sanding a dirty surface essentially grinds the dirt, grease and grime into the porous wood. Sanding doesn’t strip away the dirty, that’s why it needs to be cleaned first, then sanded. Hope this helps! xo
Honestly, focus your marketing to California and New York, raise the price by 2000 and offer delivery and there are lots of high Dollar homes that would love to have your furniture.❤🏆
I offer nationwide shipping:) I just haven’t been focusing on any sales marketing. Selling painted furniture is less than 1% of my business. It’s hanging out in my Shopify store….but I’m not driving any traffic there so it’s never seen.
The best FPOE channel on youtube, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻
🤩🤩
Beautiful! I love that you don't cut corners with some kind of "no prep necessary" products. Your results are flawless!
Thanks Kristi. The "no prep" propaganda makes me a little crazy lol

Question: between all or your sanding steps I saw you vacuumed. Did you also use a tack cloth or wipe down with mineral spirits to get the very small residual dust? Thanks again.
Thanks. Between sanding sessions I vacuum, wipe with dry cloth, wipe with clothe dampened with mineral spirits(3x at least), tack, re-coat
What a fantastic finished piece.
Thank you!
it turned out absolutely Stunning!!🤩🤩
Thanks so much!
Girl, YOU ROCK!
I love the high gloss
Looks great!. I thought you were supposed to prime first then apply the brushing putty. But again looks great!

Wow this is amazing, so much time and effort went into creating a perfect finish! Did you have to score the masking tape before you peeled it off?
Thanks:) no, I didn’t score it before removing
Beautiful!!!

Yay! Thank you!
So so so good. I love it. 💚💚💚
Thank you girl!
So gorgeous 😍 You just amaze and inspire me.
I was wondering if you tried Masking Liquid H2O on the windows instead of masking tape?
I've not tried it, but it looks cool for some types of applications!
In this instance, I would've had to very carefully paint it onto the glass with a tiny brush to get it into the teeny tight spaces of the fretwork. Taping was way faster in this case.

What is the filling and sanding primer? Bondo ? Can you add a link
Studying hard so I could someday afford one dresser from your shop 💪🏽

Awesome! New follower here 👍🏽
Welcome aboard!
Is FPOE similar to lacquer where you will need explosion proof fan ventilation?
Explosion proof fan is always a great idea when atomizing solvent base paints.
Because I am not a painter, I am going to ask a silly question that I haven’t asked but I have thought many times… on a wood piece that it is going to have the paint stripped out, and sanded, why does it need to be cleaned and washed first?
Not a silly question at all. It’s a common question! Sanding a dirty surface essentially grinds the dirt, grease and grime into the porous wood. Sanding doesn’t strip away the dirty, that’s why it needs to be cleaned first, then sanded. Hope this helps! xo
Do you sell them after you bring them back to life?
Most often yes!
@Kayla Payne What are those poles you used to build your paint booth with called? Thanks in advance!
It’s a zip wall system! Worth their weight in gold. I should add a link in the video description
Have you noticed any sheen difference from using fpe thinner versus others?
No I haven’t

what paint sprayer attachment are you using?
If you’re meaning the tip/needle size, I’m using a 1.3mm. Let me know if this answers your question! xo
What's the brand of filling and sanding paste you used?
Bondo Spot and Glazing Putty
Here I was thinking my painted dressers turned out pretty good. 🤣
