Painting a Table and Chairs with the HomeRight Finish Max Sprayer
One of the most popular client projects I’m commissioned to do is updating tables and chairs for clients. Lots of times my clients like their furniture and have had it for years. It’s usually well built and most times valuable to them in one way or another. But after years of looking at it they really want it freshened up.
That’s where I come in. Refreshing your current furniture is something I truly love doing and over the years I’ve learned ways to become more and more efficient. Last year I was introduced to the HomeRight Finish Max.
The Finish Max is a HVLP (high–volume, low-pressure), an all in one sprayer, no air compressor or additional tools needed. It’s technology uses a high-volume of air at a low-pressure to apply the finish. Using lower pressure assures significantly less overspray, and this helps direct the finish where you want it — on your project. What that means for you is that you can spend more time painting and less time cleaning. Sign me up I’m in on that!
Ok back to the project. My client decided on a French Linen color for the paint. I used chalk type paint, which runs easily through the sprayer once it is thinned. I thin mine at a 50/50 mix but the sprayer comes with a viscosity cup for easy measuring.
Once my chairs were all lined up, bottoms up, it was time to paint.
I always like to paint chairs on the bottom first. It gives a much cleaner/finished look.
As you can see the sprayer provides such a smooth flawless finish and in half the time you’d spend with a sprayer.
The next step was to add a dark wax finish. Unfortunately this isn’t something you can run through a sprayer. (Believe me if I could I would!) Waxing furniture does take a little elbow grease but it’s still one of my favorite finishes and creates such a beautiful look.
I also recovered the chairs with new fabric.
As you can see this table and chairs has a completely different look now and looks great in my clients new home!
Wow! That table and chairs set turned out beautiful! Another great job Beth!!
Thank you Sally!
The table and chairs look gorgeous!! Can’t believe what a great finish you get with the sprayer.
Thank you Sue! It’s a GREAT tool. 😉
If I win the Finish Max I am going to help my daughter paint her table and chairs in her kitchen. Then I think I would tackle my bedroom furniture!!
Thank you for sharing this giveaway with us. That was a beautiful redo of the table and chairs. If I were to win the HomeRight sprayer I would paint everything that I could get my hands on. Yipee!
Krys we must be related!!!! 🙂
I love the clean look on the furniture that has been sprayed. I hope to do that to my own table and chairs! Thanks for the information and the chance to win.
You are very welcome and thank you Laura!
I am in love with the dining table and chairs. I have been putting off re-doing ours, mainly because I don’t have a good way of painting them, like with a sprayer. That would be so awesome to win that. And that color is exactly what I would want. Perfect; love the update look. Very fresh. I am all ready now; just need that sprayers. Thanks for the opportunity.
You are welcome Debbi! 🙂
I had received an e-mail in June that I won a sprayer from Homeright but I never did hear from them. Maybe I can get lucky again.
Jo Ashley email me through my contact form and we will get it straightened out.

I’m convinced. I NEED an HVLP sprayer…there are so many times when that gloriously smooth finish would be perfect! Thanks for sharing your process, and being a tool-junkie-enabler to boot!
If I win, I will paint all my crafting needs to be painted but mostly my shutters & old crib that will be a beautiful bench one day !!
Wow! What a gorgeous job on the table and chairs! Thanks for sharing this project and having a giveaway. I have several pieces of mismatched furniture I would love to paint with a sprayer.
Everything really came together beautifully!!!! Love the style, color and fabric!!! Thank you for the opportunity to win…great give-a-way!!! Hope to visit your shop once it opens!!!!!
The table and chairs turned out awesome. I would like to be able to spray paint with chalk paint! My dining room chairs need redoing and this would be such an easier way to get the look that I love.

It is amazing how flawlessly it works and the finish is so perfect! I could sure use a tool like this! At 63 some projects are more difficult for me now. I have a gazebo, a wood divider screen and 2 pieces of furniture waiting to be done and have been putting it off as seems so much of a task. This item would be so helpful.
The chairs and table look great! I’d love to win the sprayer; I am getting ready to start on my own table and chairs. Thanks for the chance to win!
If I win the Finish Max I’m going to paint my kithchen table.
Table and chairs look beautiful! I have some chairs I would love to use the HomeRight Sprayer on if i win! Thank you!
If I win the Homeright sprayer, I would paint everything with it! I’m lousy at painting. This would be a God-send!

A wonderful blog post as always! I have been researching sprayers as I am getting busier and busier. Everyone has been suggesting this one and I’m glad to see it worked nicely for you.
Joy I’ve been using it for over a year now and I love it! I went through several before I found this one and it’s my fave!

Hey Beth!! Wow, that is one pretty table! I’m surprised you didn’t sand at all… ? Lovely project!
Hi Carrie,

If I win I will be painting EVERYTHING! I have rocking chairs, a book case, a table, chairs, all kinds of things that I can use this for. And oh how happy I will be to not have to use a paint brush! LOL Pick me, Pick me, Pick me!!
I need this sprayer to re-do my kitchen cabinets and bathroom cabinets. Plus I re-finish furniture and this will come in very handy!
