It’s a yay for me! High gloss furniture looks awesome!

In reply to Renata. I don't do much with high gloss myself - depends on the type of paint. I would spray high gloss if doing it myself, as that would give the best look.

I always loved furniture in high gloss finished. I am thinking of having my front door painted with high gloss but with a roller and brush when needed. Would you recommend the best roller/brush that would leave strokes less visible? Thanks. Renata

In reply to Kim Lista. I did a high gloss vanity for a customer, but that was about it. I love the look of high gloss, but minimizing dust is a serious challenge! Kayla is a pro when it comes to high gloss!

I too am obsessed with high gloss furniture. Did you try it? Would love to chat more with you about it. I have finished a few pieces, and I also followed Kayla Payne’s classes. I think I couldn’t have done it without taking her class.

Where on earth is that beautiful vanity from?

Nothing goes together like high gloss lacquer and faux bamboo! So I say Yay and double Yay! I recently bought a vintage faux bamboo dining table and chairs and my husband put a high gloss white enamel finish on it. It has the look of lacquer put not as labor intensive.

Lacquer is highly toxic and is normally done in a professional paint booth with proper ventilation and masks. I have watched it being done and the paint is applied very thinly in many steps. Lacquer will chip as well so that is one drawback but it looks stunning.

I guess you can say, as for me, it’s all depends upon what it is. There are something’s I love flat, whereas others, I love it high gloss. Your pieces are beautiful.

I love the look of high gloss, but don’t like the dust that shows easily on glossy surfaces. I’ve always wondered how it holds up. We had 2 active boys (and now 2 grandchildren) and I can’t imagine that type of finish standing up to Matchbox cars, Transformer battles, wayward Nerf darts, etc. Does it chip easily? Is it tougher than it looks?
