As we move into the start of fall, there is still ample to tackle painting projects you might not have gotten to during the summer months before the winter and holiday season begins. Small projects that, including furniture repainting or refreshing, can be completed in as little as a day or a weekend \u2013 but can still make a big difference in the look and feel of your space.<\/p>\n

Do you need to prime when painting a small piece of furniture? Our answer is emphatically yes! But do you need entire gallon of primer to get the job done? Most likely the answer there is no. KILZ\u00ae<\/sup> Brand offers a family of hardworking primers suitable for all types of painting projects large and small, indoor and outdoor. Trusted by pros for over 40 years, KILZ\u00ae<\/sup> Original Interior Primer is available in a convenient aerosol formula<\/a>, ideal for small painting projects and spot priming interior surfaces.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never used an aerosol primer before, we have a few tips to get you started! Similar to priming a wall or set of cabinets, when using an aerosol primer you\u2019ll want to be sure the surface is clean and free of dust. For glossy surfaces, we recommend scuff sanding the surface before priming to ensure maximum adhesion. When using an aerosol primer, wearing eye protection is advised, as well as covering adjacent areas to protect from any primer overspray. For best results, you\u2019ll want to use the aerosol primer at room temperature.<\/p>\n

Once your area and surface are prepped, shake the primer can vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle, and shake often during use. Hold the can upright, moving from side-to-side while spraying lightly and evenly about 12\u2033 from area being painted. We recommend 2-3 thin coats to produce the best results. Dry time for most of our aerosol primers is about one hour, and then you\u2019re ready to paint!

If you don\u2019t want the odor of an aerosol primer, we suggest KILZ Original Low-Odor Interior Aerosol Primer<\/a>. Formulated with the same stainblocking performance as KILZ Original, it features fast odor dissipation technology which means no lingering odor\u2020. Ideal for use in dining areas, small apartments and other areas which are sensitive to high odor levels.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For furniture pieces that might be exposed to the elements on your porch or patio, KILZ Original Interior | Exterior Aerosol Primer<\/a> is a great choice. We used this primer as the first step in repainting a thrift-store furniture find, meant to be used as an outdoor dining chair. Another reason to use aerosol primers is when covering intricate and detailed surfaces, like the back of this chair. Not only did the aerosol primer work to seal the surface, but it made priming the scalloped details a breeze!<\/p>\n
