What do you use to paint a cheap light wood dresser to a colorful red finish. Im looking for the b4 spray.?

I know its not real wood. Its a laminated wood finish. I know they are a type of spray you spray it with b4 painting but i cant think of it for nothing.





Its very similar to this one....but in a light brown finish.

Nothing else matters more to painting any surface than to PRIME IT





#1 roughen the surface with very light sandpaper or even steel wool or a pot scrubber pad (also found in hardware stores as cheap paint-remover pad to be normally used with paint stripper). Then, clean and dry entire surface - no dust or grease.





#2 PRIME IT. I always recommend purchasing the stain blocking type of primer, like Zisser. It's just great primer, and for $1 more than cheap primer you can use the leftover for priming pretty much anything down the road. There is water-based primer and oil-based primer. Use the one appropriate for the TYPE of final-coat paint you have chosen (latex or oil-based). Water-based Latex, is of course, easier to cleanup and dries fastest - but oil-based will be tougher and last longer.





Tips:





Drying oil-based painted objects: If your room is muggy you may want to put a space heater in the room to help dry out the air. Pointing a fan at your subject, or putting it out in the wind or sunlight, will only give you dust and dirt in your paint job, and will not make it dry much faster. Leave it to dry in a protected but WELL VENTILATED area. If you want to use a fan, point it out of the room or area, not towards the project.





While it may seem easier to grab a can of spray paint and have at a piece of furniture - you may be happier with the results of brush-on paint with a quality natural-hair fine brush.What do you use to paint a cheap light wood dresser to a colorful red finish. Im looking for the b4 spray.?
SCUFF THE SURFACE W/ SANDPAPER FIRST AND USE KRYLON SPRAY PAINT FOR PLASTICS. THE FINISH IS LAMINATED PLASTIC AND REGULAR SPRAY PAINTS WONT ADHERE PROPERLY. I WOULD ALSO USE A PRODUCT LIKE T.S.P TO WIPE AND GREESE OR DIRT OFF OF IT PRIOR TO PAINTING
