Iβve used Fusionβ’ on a few pieces now and itβs pretty great stuff. I donβt like prep work β so I donβt do prep work most of the time. If you do want to prep a piece β if itβs really a shiny finish β a quick rubdown with a heavy grit sandpaper will suffice. Fusionβ’ requires very minimal prep work if any at all. But the very best part? It has a built-in topcoat! Which means you donβt have to use wax or hemp oil or any sort of finish! You can if you want β there are some looks that will use a topcoat of some kind to achieve, but it isnβt necessary. That is the most wonderful thing to me. As beautiful as a wax finish is I donβt enjoy waxing and buffing. Fusionβ’ paint gives me a smooth, washable finish without the extra work of applying a topcoat.
Fusionβ’ has an amazing, smooth, buttery finish. Foundation to finish all in one mineral based furniture paint. Changing the paint world forever!
Fusionβ’ is self-leveling and ends up with very few brush strokes showing. A good, natural-bristle brush is what I prefer. Fusionβ’ carries brushes that are formulated just right for their paint.
I used Limestone for the main part, taped off the old brass feet and wheels and took the drawer pulls off. For the center I used the Fusionβ’ color Prairie Sunset. Itβs such a warm, buttery yellow and just feels happy. I used 2 coats of paint in each color.
If you have never painted furniture but think it looks fun, Fusionβ’ would be a great paint to start with!
