    How to paint chair or bench spindles

    What do you need to paint spindles?

    As with all furniture painting projects, you need Fusion TSP (best used in a spray bottle here), paper towels, sandpaper in 80, 120, and 150 grits, an orbital sander (for the flat areas), Fusion’s Besswax finish, a Staalmeester brush, and Fusion paint in Coal Black.

    How to prep furniture spindles for painting

    Start by cleaning the bench thoroughly with 1/8 Ratio of Fusion TSP to water. Spray bottles help with areas like spindles, and make it easy to get every nook and cranny.  Wipe up the residue with paper towels (or tack cloth).

    Scuff and sand any flaking paint with sandpaper grits (going from lowest to highest). Use an orbital sander for larger flat areas, or areas that have deeper scratches. Clean up dust residue with a shop vac, and wipe with a damp paper towel.

    How to paint spindles with a brush

    Painting spindles on furniture is best done with a Staalmeester brush. The perfect tension bind of the fibres means that it does exactly what you want to do, like precision work on awkward surfaces. the brush is perfect for spindles that take time.

    Apply two thin coats of Coal Black. You would typically only need one coat with Coal Black so the spindles only needed touch-ups. The larger flat areas required two coats of paint.
