Painting furniture doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, with Fusion Mineral Paint, it’s as easy as two simple steps: Clean It and Paint It. You don’t need to be a professional or have fancy tools—just a little inspiration and your favourite Fusion colour.
Why Fusion Mineral Paint?
Fusion Mineral Paint is renowned for its all-in-one formula, which includes a built-in primer and top coat. This means you can achieve beautiful finishes without the hassle of additional products. Created from a high-quality 100% industrial grade acrylic resin, Fusion offers durability and a professional look, all while being user-friendly.
Painting It Beautiful with Two Simple Steps: Clean It and Paint It
Step 1: Clean It
Preparation is key to a long-lasting finish, but that doesn’t mean it has to be hard. Cleaning your furniture properly ensures the paint adheres beautifully.
- Use Fusion’s TSP Alternative
This organic, biodegradable cleaner is designed to remove dirt, grease, and oils from your surface. Spray it or wipe it on, wipe it off, and rinse with water for a perfectly prepped piece. - Why Cleaning Matters
Even if your furniture looks clean, invisible residues can prevent paint from sticking. A quick clean guarantees a flawless finish. - No Sanding Required (Most of the Time!)
Fusion’s formula means you usually don’t need to sand unless your piece has a super glossy finish. If that’s the case, a light sanding with a fine-grit sponge will do the trick.
Step 2: Paint It
Now for the fun part—painting! Fusion Mineral Paint is designed to make this step as simple and enjoyable as possible.
- Pick Your Colour and Start Painting
Use a high-quality brush like the Staalmeester for smooth, even strokes. Fusion’s self-levelling formula means no brush strokes, no fuss.- Apply one thin coat, let it dry (2-4 hours), and follow with a second coat if needed.
- The Secret to Success? Thin Coats
Less is more! Thin, even coats dry faster and give you a professional-looking finish.
Step 3 is Optional: Protect It (If You Want!)
While Fusion Mineral Paint has a built-in topcoat for most projects, some pieces need extra protection. For example, tabletops or other high-use surfaces can benefit from a topcoat.
Topcoat Options
Ultra Guard: Available in Flat and Satin, this water-based polyurethane adds durability and a touch of sheen.
Tough Coat: Perfect for matte finishes and heavy-duty protection.
Applying a topcoat is as simple as brushing it on in thin layers once your paint is fully dry. But remember, this step is entirely optional.

That’s it—just two easy steps to Paint It Beautiful! Clean it, paint it, and you’re done. Fusion Mineral Paint takes all the guesswork out of painting, so you can focus on having fun and creating something amazing.
Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or picking up a brush for the first time, anyone can transform furniture with Fusion. So, what are you waiting for? Pick your colour, grab your brush, and start painting!
Common Misconceptions
- Sanding is Required One of the biggest myths is that you must sand every piece before painting. With Fusion Mineral Paint, this isn’t necessary for most surfaces, especially if they are clean and in good condition!
- You Must Paint Outside While painting outdoors can be enjoyable, it’s not required! Fusion Mineral Paint can be used indoors as long as you have good ventilation.
- Waiting Forever Between Coats Many new painters think they need to wait hours between coats. The good news is that Fusion dries to the touch in about 30 minutes, allowing you to apply a second coat in just 1-2 hours. You can get your project done in a single day!
Remember to enjoy the process and let your creativity flow!
