Scuff-sand to remove any loose paint and wipe away debris. Clean table and allow to dry.

Tape off and cover the top to avoid overspray.
Step 2
Apply Spray Paint

Set up outside or in a well-ventilated area. Cover the floor and any areas around you that you do not want spray paint on.
Shake can vigorously for 1 minute. Hold can about 12” from area being painted. While spraying move can from side to side across the area. Let dry at least 1 hour before applying a second coat. Two to three thin coats produce the best results.

Once dry, cover the legs and spray the tabletop. Let dry completely before next step.
Tip: Shake often during use.
Step 3
Add Stencil Design

Secure stencil to tabletop with painter’s tape. Apply spray paint (refer to step 2). Carefully remove stencil immediately after spraying.
Tip: You can use a small paint brush with the spray paint for touch ups.
To complete this look, we spray painted the chairs and small table and added a few decorative pillows.
