Welcome back to another Beyond Paint blog, where we take ordinary pieces and give them extraordinary makeovers with the magic of Beyond Paint. Today’s project is all about giving new life to a tired leather dining chair using our all-in-one paint solution. So, let’s dive right in!
Why Choose Beyond Paint?
Before we get started, let’s talk about why Beyond Paint is the go-to choice for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. Beyond Paint is more than just paint—it's a game-changer in the world of home renovation. Its unique all-in-one formula includes a primer, bonder, and sealer, meaning you can skip the tedious prep work of stripping, sanding, or priming. All you need to do is clean your surface with a reliable cleaner like Simple Green or Zep Degreaser, and you're ready to roll, literally!
Step 1: Prep and Paint
Once the leather surface of our dining chair was cleaned and thoroughly dried, we were ready to begin the transformation. For this project, we chose the serene and timeless Sage from Beyond Paint’s color palette. The toolkit we used included a paint tray, a 3/8-inch microfiber roller, a two-inch brush, and a handy brochure full of tips and tricks for using Beyond Paint.
We started by applying the first coat of paint to the seat of the chair with our microfiber roller. Even on the first coat, the coverage was impressive, especially considering that we were painting on leather—a surface known for being tricky to paint. Beyond Paint’s formula adhered beautifully, setting the stage for a stunning finish.
Step 2: Adding Contrast
To give the chair a bit of contrast, we decided to paint the legs in Bright White. Using the two-inch brush and roller, we carefully applied the paint, ensuring that the color balance was perfect. After the first coat was on, we allowed two to four hours for the paint to dry completely.
Step 3: Sealing the Deal
The next day, we returned to apply two very thin coats of Beyond Paint’s multi-purpose sealer. This sealer not only adds extra durability—perfect for high-traffic surfaces like dining chairs—but also transforms Beyond Paint’s matte sheen into a beautiful satin finish. A little tip: be sure to squeeze out any excess sealer from your roller before applying to ensure an even coat.
The Final Reveal
Two weeks later, we performed a durability test to see how our painted chair held up under daily use. The results? The Sage and Bright White colors remained vibrant and intact, proving that Beyond Paint is as durable as it is beautiful. Our once drab leather dining chair was now a stunning centerpiece, bringing a fresh and stylish look to the dining room.
