Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What makes mineral paint different from regular paint for furniture?
Mineral paint bonds chemically to surfaces rather than just sitting on top. This means better adhesion without primer on most surfaces. The mineral content also creates a naturally matte, chalky finish that's forgiving for beginners. Unlike latex paint, it won't peel off in sheets if you make mistakes.
Do I need to sand furniture before using Fusion Mineral Paint?
Not usually. Clean surfaces thoroughly and you're ready to paint. Only sand if the finish is flaking or you want to smooth out deep scratches. For glossy surfaces like melamine, use Fusion Ultra Grip instead of sanding. This saves hours of prep work compared to traditional painting methods.
Can beginners handle painting kitchen cabinets with mineral paint?
Absolutely, but start with a practice piece first. Kitchen cabinets get heavy use, so proper surface prep and curing time matter more than on decorative pieces. Clean thoroughly, remove hardware, and plan for the 21-day cure time before normal use. Consider professional help for extensive kitchen projects.
How much Fusion paint do I need for my first furniture project?
One 500ml jar covers about 75 square feet. A typical dresser needs 1-2 jars, depending on how many coats you apply. Kitchen cabinets usually require 2-4 jars for upper and lower cabinets. Buy an extra jar rather than running short mid-project, since colour matching between batches can vary slightly.
What tools should beginners buy for their first furniture painting project?
Start with a 2-inch synthetic brush, foam roller, paint tray, and TSP cleaner. Add Fusion Ultra Grip if your piece has a glossy finish. Don't buy every accessory at once. Focus on quality basics and add specialty tools as your skills develop and projects become more complex.
