How to paint a dresser step-by-step:
Step 1:
First, use your screwdriver or drill to remove the hardware. Place in a sandwich bag to make sure you don’t lose anything.
Step 2:
Next, time to paint! All you have to do is pour the paint right in the basin at the bottom and twist it back on, plug your sprayer into an extension cord and pull the trigger.
PRO TIP: You can see our full video on spraying this dresser here. We sprayed the entire dresser in under 10 minutes for the first coat and about 5-7 minutes for the second coat.

Step 3:
Once your paint is fully cured, you can you the same spray gun (after you clean it, obviously!) to spray on a finishing coat of polycrylic. When the poly is totally dry, you can reattach your hardware and obsess of your dresser makeover. It’s a show stopper for sure!

Hi! It’s Behr Tutti Frutti! 🙂
how much overspray is there? can i do it in the yard or would i have a pink fence?
I mean I wouldn’t do it up next to a fence but in the middle of a yard should be fine. The overspray isnt crazy but there is some! 🙂
DUDE! I LOVE THIS PINK!!! this is so friggin gorgeous now I am gonna HAVE to do this!
Oh thank you so much! Last time I spray painted the gate make my finger caught some paint although I wear nylon gloves, I can’t remove all of them until the next day after times and times wash my hand with water. I will have another project this weekend with paint brush, this tips will be very helpful.
