Author Message   finley Citizen Username: Finley Post Number: 7 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Sunday, September 21, 2003 - 2:11 pm:        We have an old dresser that I would like to have painted to put in a child's room. I'm sure it is something that I could do myself, but don't have the time. Any suggestions on who does this sort of thing? I'm assuming it needs to be sanded, primed, and painted... Thanks in advance!   OK, it's Tom Reingold Citizen Username: Noglider Post Number: 559 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Monday, September 22, 2003 - 11:11 am:        You better have a fistful of cash, because that stuff takes a lot of time to do well. We just did it, and it took a long time. My carpenter and friend might be available: George Stralkus, 908-436-0315. He does meticulous paint work and cleans up after himself.

So unless the dresser is valuable, in which case I would strongly suggest not destroying the finish, this is the route I would take.
