Prep
Wash surface of dresser with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
To prepare the surface to accept paint, use #220 sanding pad and lightly sand surface of dresser that will be painted to remove existing finishes from stained or painted wood. This also helps smooth down any splinters or rough patches found in raw wood.
If sanding down to bare wood, prime with Premium Wall & Wood Primer.

Paint Base Color
Using a small paint roller, add two coats of a base color (we used SW 7006 Extra White) to the drawer fronts. Allow at least two hours of dry time in between coats.

Paint Secondary Color
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for secondary color by taping off the other shapes.
Let dry for 2-4 hours. You should wait at least overnight to tape over any area you painted in steps 5 and 6. Use very low tack tape to avoid pulling off the previous coats of paint.
