In woodworking and decorative arts, refinishing refers to the act of repairing or reapplying the wood finishing on an object. In practice, this may be apply to the paint or wood finish top coat, lacquer or varnish. The artisan or restorer is traditionally aiming for an improved or restored and renewed finish. Refinishing can apply to a variety of surfaces and materials such as wood, glass, metal, plastic and paint, although in Britain, when referring to wood or wooden furniture it is commonly known as repolishing. There are a great variety of both traditional and modern finishes, including the use of faux finishes. One interesting modern development in refinishing is the art of distressing or antiquing, making the finishes of pieces look older. While refinishing is often undertaken to salvage an old piece of furniture, in the case of antique furniture refinishing has been known to significantly reduce the overall value of the piece.

From Google News Search: "Refinishing" Refinishing kitchen cabinets? Q. I have very old kitchen cabinets and will be having them done by a professional. I need to decide whether to paint or refinish them. Are painted cabinets easier to clean and is it cheaper to have them painted or is refinishing better? Also, I'm having a wood laminate floor installed, would you think white cabinets would look better than wood? Asked by tys7344 - Tue Mar 11 17:42:10 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. My wife just went from white cabinets to a sage green color with a dark green over glaze and a satin sealer. Counter tops are bone and African Red granite. Floors are tan ceramic tile with a dark brown grout. She has been seeing a lot of colored cabinets on the cooking channel so decided to make a change from white. Answered by oil field trash - Tue Mar 11 19:07:44 2008 Has anyone had luck refinishing their Merillat kitchen cabinets? Q. Hello, has anyone had luck refinishing their Merillat kitchen cabinets? I have Northport laminate (white with oak) and they are still in excellent condition. But I would love to paint over the laminate to match the walls, for a new kitchen look. If you've done this, please share your experience with me. And if it was a positive experience, how did you do it...brush, spray, sponge and what kind of paint. Thanks Asked by AnnG - Thu Oct 18 16:24:43 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. The Northport door is a laminate door-not wood, so you cannot strip it like one poster suggested. Probably the best way to do it would be to make sure you use a very good primer like Zinsser Bull's Eye before painting. Once you've taken care of priming it, it will be up to you what you want the cabinets to look like. If you use a brush, you will probably see brush strokes. I would probably spray paint with a very good paint. Good luck painting and don't forget to share before and after pics!

Q. materials, fabric or other for the table top? Very old and rusted, table top needs to be replaced... would like to use as an outdoor summer dining table,,, refinish to look nice and re-surface top to be durable for rain and morning dew... THanks sooo much. Asked by pamela - Sat Jun 16 21:55:23 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Taka a wire brush and remove all loose, peeled paint and rust. This takes patience if your table is very fancy. Then wipe the whole thing off with a cotton cloth dampened with turpentine, or vinegar. No paint will stick to a greasy or wet surface. First coat should be a "metal primer" or "rust retardant" type paint. Second coat can be of enamel or paint suitable for place item is to be used, usually outdoor enamel. Sometimes you can find all-in-one paints that are sufficient without using a base coat. This is usually cheaper in the long run and easier since you don't have to paint it twice. Look for Rustoleum or True Value's XO-Rust paint brands. When the paint is completely dry (a couple days) apply protective finish as if item were new.
