I was looking for this comment. OP did a nice job, but painting that beautiful old oak was criminal.

Soooooo nice. The matching fabric from the chair and near the mirror purple the piece together like nothing else.

If youâre a first timer youâre not likely to get those replaced legs looking so seamless and natural. This project took a good amount of prior experience too.

You need to figure out what paint youâre spraying.
Hvlp guns are better suited for very thin, very hard, solvent borne paints like lacquers.
If you want to spray water borne paint, youâre probably better off spraying with an airless.
If youâre truly set on spraying with an HVLP, youâre better off buying a multistage turbine setup like a Fuji â compressors that can sustain the CFM you need are EXPENSIVE, and youâll still need a dewatering system

Oh ffs. It was a kind of ugly, clearly-not-antique cabinet, and now it's a lovely piece of furniture that will get used. Folks who worship at the altar of WOOD⢠drive me nuts. He didn't chalk-paint a Georgian antique.

Are you doing this a lot?
No, 6 at 90 will be gone in about 1 minute, and take 4 to re charge..
Just get an airless.

And that old bar cabinet? It was made from an even older make-up table. True story.
Lovely work. đđť

Itâs a refurbish, you could do it too!
Not that it isnât great, but you would be surprised by the skills required, and the skills you have.
