Painting furniture doesnβt have to be complicated. In fact, withΒ Fusion Mineral Paint, itβs as easy as two simple steps: Clean It and Paint It. You donβt need to be a professional or have fancy toolsβjust a little inspiration and your favourite FusionΒ colour.

Created from a high-quality 100% industrial grade acrylic resin, Fusion offers durability and a professional look, all while being user-friendly.
Painting It Beautiful with Two Simple Steps: Clean It and Paint It
Step 1: Clean It
Preparation is key to a long-lasting finish, but that doesnβt mean it has to be hard. Cleaning your furniture properly ensures the paint adheres beautifully.
-
Use FusionβsΒ TSP Alternative
This organic, biodegradable cleaner is designed to remove dirt, grease, and oils from your surface. Spray it or wipe it on, wipe it off, and rinse with water for a perfectly prepped piece. -
Why Cleaning Matters
Even if your furniture looks clean, invisible residues can prevent paint from sticking. A quick clean guarantees a flawless finish. -
No Sanding Required (Most of the Time!)
Fusionβs formula means you usually donβt need to sand unless your piece has a super glossy finish. If thatβs the case, a light sanding with a fine-grit sponge will do the trick.

Step 2: Paint It

Pick Your ColourΒ and Start Painting
Use a high-quality brush like theΒ StaalmeesterΒ for smooth, even strokes. Fusionβs self-levelling formula means no brush strokes, no fuss.- Apply one thin coat, let it dry (2-4 hours), and follow with a second coat if needed.

The Secret to Success? Thin Coats
Less is more! Thin, even coats dry faster and give you a professional-looking finish.

Step 3 isΒ Optional: Protect It (If You Want!)
While Fusion Mineral Paint has a built-in topcoat for most projects, some pieces need extra protection. For example, tabletops or other high-use surfaces can benefit from a topcoat.

Common Misconceptions
- Sanding is RequiredΒ One of the biggest myths is that you must sand every piece before painting. With Fusion Mineral Paint, this isnβt necessary for most surfaces, especially if they are clean and in good condition!
- You Must Paint OutsideΒ While painting outdoors can be enjoyable, itβs not required! Fusion Mineral Paint can be used indoors as long as you have good ventilation.
- Waiting Forever Between CoatsΒ Many new painters think they need to wait hours between coats. The good news is that Fusion dries to the touch in about 30 minutes, allowing you to apply a second coat in just 1-2 hours. You can get your project done in a single day!
Remember to enjoy the process and let your creativity flow!
