Painting a newly built aquarium stand?

Apr 30, 2009 by db | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)

Recently built an aquarium stand. I decided to paint it black so it stands out less (hey its my first piece of furniture).

I'm planning to sand down the surface after it is built and paint it.

Question:

Do I need to prime the wood with anything before painting? I've got latex (non-oil) semi-gloss black paint.

Or do I need to coat it after it is painted?

Thanks!

You're still sorta vague on the actual stand materials, but yes you should prime it first, & it would actually help the pieces longevity if you take it somewhat apart & prime all the end-cuts & then put it back together & prime the whole piece.
I prefer oil primer due to the quality of today's wood, but you could go w/a dark grey latex & then topcoat it twice w/what you've got.
Good luck!
