Prepare by taping up the piano so none of the functional pieces get covered in paint. You may also consider taping plastic sheeting over the inside parts of the piano if they are exposed to the exterior in any way. We also removed the music stand entirely and painted it separately.
STEP 1
If your piano is a finished wood, you’ll get the best results by sanding off the shiny finish. Do this with 80 grit sandpaper. Sand until smooth. Wipe down the piano to remove any remaining dust from sanding.
STEP 2
Paint your first, thin coat. When using a spray gun, be sure to paint in one long motion for a smooth, even coat, on each part of the piano. If there are any large areas you cannot reach you’ll want to paint with a brush or roller now. Let dry.
STEP 3
Once dry, lightly sand the paint with 400 grit sandpaper. Paint a second coat and let dry. Sand again. Now you can determine if you need a third coat and repeat a third time if you do.
STEP 4
Finally, touch up any small areas and details as needed with a paint brush. Remove all painter’s tape and plastic sheeting. Very carefully touch up any areas where the tape may have inhibited you painting.
