These old creams and oranges need to go so clean it first with a degreaser or deglosser like crud cutting. Next, scrub the chalk painted area with a one-to-one ratio of mineral spirits and waters so sanding will be a breeze. This cuts off the wax that was used to seal it. I use a scrub brush and green scrubber pads and make sure that you wear gloves. Dry everything off with the microfiber rag. Let it air dry and then you can sand. At Home Depot, you can find Bear's chalk paint line. It's only 20 bucks and it comes rich colors. This is soot. Tape off the areas that you want to avoid especially if you wanted to look professional. With any mineral paint, I typically when I'm spraying, use 2- 3 thin coats. When you're brushing, you can use less coats. Once everything is completely dry, I go over the top with a satin poly acrylic going about two coats. For very dark and very light colors, it is super helpful to tint your polyacrylic with a little bit of the paint that you're using for really smooth and solid application. Next up, let's strip the top. Using clean strip, a throw away brush and after wash, apply the stripper wearing your PPE mask and hardcore gloves. Leave on for 15 minutes or more depending on the climate and start your stripping. I love using a putty knife when I'm stripping because it just is really easy to scrape everything off and into a disposable bin. I always strip going with the grain on the table so I'm going from one side to the other following the grain of the wood. And to get it off the lip of the table, I typically go around with either a scrub brush or steel wool in grades one or two. Use after wash and steel wool to get off any residue left over. It's time to sand. Use 120 then 150, 180, and lastly 220 wiping every time in between. If you find that your sandpaper is getting gunked up, you have not let it air dry long enough. If you see sanding marks on the table, turn your sander over and make sure that you don't have any gunk built up, use sandpaper to get it off. Clean up your table with mineral spirits and it's now time for your fresh stain. Apply your stains. Staining sponges are my favorite because they hold a ton. If you leave on longer, you'll get a deeper stain. If you wipe off too quickly and it's not dark enough, let it fully dry and then do a second coat. The same principles of going with the grain apply especially when you're staining. You can apply every which way but your last stroke should be going with the grain. When you're wiping off, same thing, go with the grain. For this table, I'm using provincial. The sides of the table will get the darkest so make sure that when you wipe it on there, you wipe it off right away because it's going to be darker than the table top. I wanted to go bold with this table so I ended up doing two coats of stain. Leaving the second one on for about 15 minutes. These blue shop cloths that you can get at any hardware store are the best for wiping off stain. They soak up so much and you can keep unfolding it, refolding and use it on the same piece. Make sure you read the instructions on your can for dry times. After this was completely dry, I filled up my spray gun with a 10 percent mineral spirits to satin polyurethane combination for a really smooth and flawless finish. I put about three coats. For a breakdown of a cost for a flip like this, see the description below and make sure you comment table if you want these directions sent to you.
