How to paint a table
Separate any pieces that you don't want stuck together.
If your table has a leaf, pull it slightly open so the leaf doesn't touch the edges of the main table. This way, the paint won't seal the pieces together when it dries.
If your table has no leaf, there's no need to take pieces apart. Sand down the tabletop to remove any thick varnish or imperfections.
