Can you update to comment on how this Aura paint has held up on the tabletop after month/years of use? Our regular brown wood coffee table surface has acquired discoloring scratches over the years (we frequently place laptops on it), so I am hesitant to paint it a lighter color without protecting the top by adding a piece of glass or some other durable coat on the paint color. Thanks for your feedback.

In reply to Rosemary. It dries very quickly but we waited a few hours to be sure. :)

It’s time to paint. I basically always use a paint sprayer when I’m painting furniture – it gives you the smoothest finish, it’s much faster than anything else, and it really is just the best way to give you a good end result. The exact directions will vary depending on the paint sprayer you’re using, but it’s a much simpler process than you might expect. Just pour the paint into the appropriate container, pull the trigger, and get to it. A few quick paint sprayer tips: you’re going to want to hold the sprayer closer to the piece than feels comfortable – no more than a foot away (I typically shoot for about 6-8 inches), move slowly and steadily, and try to move the sprayer all the way off the piece on either end as you move back and forth (if you switch directions while spraying the piece itself, you can end up with too much paint in on section).
