I was able to pick up some pottery barn style, desk, dresser with mirror, chair and night table for my daughters bedroom for free. She has picked out the paint she wants them to be since they are in need of some repair. I wondered though they are an engineered glossy veneer that is about 1/32" thick. I wondered with how smooth it is if it would be best to take some 220 sandpaper and sand it to rough up the surface and then paint it with latex paint/primer combination or if just priming it first would be the better way to go? What would you do. My thoughts are to sand it down a bit so that the paint will have a surface to adhere to more, however I don't want to do more work than necessary, especially since it has some cut in details that would be a pain to sand. Any suggestions would be great.
