hi miss lilac i sanded off some of the rough paint, but i didnt strip the hard parts :) the chair i have is antique so i didnt chance the nitromors but normally i would. then i used satinwood paint, i found the crown one coat satinwood brilliant. have used a cream satinwood too on another project and it covers great. hope that helps!! dont forget to post it on here afterwards!
