Bought a dresser for $10 from a garage sale by my house, and thought it would look great redone. As I was looking around for different methods online, I found a product called RECLAIM Beyond Paint while Googling DIY methods and products.
I picked up a small can from their Home Shopping Network page, and gave it a try.
The claims that there were no priming, sanding or prepping were pretty surprising. They do recommend cleaning, though.
The results pretty much speak for themselves. The project took a total of about an hour or so, including removing the hardware and spray painting it with a metal like paint I got from Home Depot, and then reattaching it.
I have to say the results were more than impressive. I had only used about an 1/8th of the can, so I'm going to try it on a few other items!
If you'd like to know more, I found it at www.reclaimbeyondpaint.com
