Looking to tap into the collective here for some painting tips please as I'm sure there are people who know their stuff on here.
Looking to paint 4 wood bookcases each approx 6ft x 3ft. Currently they are either stained and varnished or veneered.
Plan is :
1) Sand lightly to provide a key
2) Apply Zinser to cover and sand with very fine grade to remove any embedded dust
3) Apply undercoat and sand fine grade etc
4) Apply a couple of coats of top coat with sanding in between
The OH has seen a couple of Farrow and Ball colours that may be suitable but I'm not certain if F&B satin is that highly rated. My decorators centre has said that they can tint Little Greene acrylic eggshell pretty accurately and advised alternatively they rate Tikkurila
My initial questions are any suggestions on the best paint please and bearing in mind I'm not a professional decorator should I be able,to get a decent finish using foam rollers or do I go with brush for the lot
Any advice gratefully received especially if I've missed any stages
