I am building a bunk bed set for my daughter and she wants it painted white.
See the general plans/idea here I am making several minor modifications including not using pocket holes as they recommended in the original plans. ANYWAY, I am sanding and puttying knots, making it smooth, but still know that pine grain will telegraph through.
So my Question is: What is a good durable fairly easy to apply paint (will not be able to spay paint).
• Something that fills, covers and smooths out easily.
• 2 to 4 coats of a thick kind would be ideal.
• Will do a good primer coat.
• Semi-gloss latex enamel, but is it tough/durable? - I'm thinking about this, but will listen to you guys.
• Durable - tough.
Gel-Coat - I have done that once but did not like it. (It was not latex)
(I don't want to go with enamels that use thinner due to the long time it takes to get rid of the fumes. )
I have been looking at Behr paints but again, what you use or recommend?
