After all the repairs had been completed –
it was time for a layer of XIM Bonding Primer. I’m a little “old school” with my painting and I prime everything. If there is going to be a failure – it is always in the first layer, so I won’t waste my time without the insurance layer of primer!!!
I picked the Black Velvet by Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint – it’s a deep charcoal grey color and would work well in the guest room. I painted the drawer fronts and the body of the dresser with the Black Velvet – two coats, allowing dry time in between. (I lightly sanded with 400 grit between coats).
