How do I paint furniture a cherry color?

Answer by  Malinovsky (71)

If the wood is bare, then you should "stain" the wood with a cherry colored stain. If it is already painted, then you can choose a cherry-colored paint to go on top, or you can strip off the existing paint and try staining.

First, you're going to need to know some basic painting skills. I assume the furniture is wood. If it is already treated i. e. is glossy or a color that wood would normally not be, you will need regular paint. If not treated, a cherry color stain is probably the best choice.

Even cherry wood isn't what you might consider to be a cherry color, it's largely an effect of paint. I would first use a dark striping, then apply glazes to create depth.

The furniture has to be sanded first to remove the smoothness,shine and other contaminants. Thereafter a primer is to be applied and allowed to dry. This should be followed by Paint Finish stained to cherry color
