How can I repaint a wooden chessboard?
I found this wooden chessboard an I want to turn it into a GO board,which has 19x19 cells.
I need to somehow remove the old paint, and make new markings.
I don't really have money for fancy tools, too.
Help, please.
Thankyou <3
I would not even try to remove all the old paint.
Simply sand [gently and with a fine grit paper] the entire board to prepare [remove the gloss surface] the existing paint for an overcoat, clean all sanding residue off with a "tack cloth" [available at any paint supply] and then paint the entire board with the primary base color.
When that paint has fully dried [cured] then, using masking tape, mask off the area you don't want painted with the next color, and then paint with the second color. Remove the masking tape as soon as the wet paint has set [usually within a few minutes], allow the second color to fully dry/cure and...
If you need a third color applied repeat the previous steps.
