To ensure the paint on your hand painted chest of drawers does not chip, it is best to choose a model that is coated in a latex enamel paint. Latex enamel paint is extremely durable and is great for a chest of drawers used in all rooms, including damp areas like kitchens, laundries, and bathrooms, where moisture damage can occur.
If your hand-painted chest of drawers is crafted using acrylic paint you can provide an extra layer of protection to prevent chipping by applying a thin layer of paste wax. Though the sealing process is laborious and time-consuming, it can improve the longevity of your drawers.
