Silpat explained the process well. Start with sanding the wood. My wood was pretty bare - no finish on it, so I just used sandpaper by hand to sand it. Then, primed it with a primer tinted for darker colors since I was going to paint black. Allow drying between coats and for a smoother finish, sand with a fine sandpaper in between coats. Plan on a couple of coats of the final paint. I used semi-gloss on this black table last week because S was going to use it for a TV stand and semi-gloss is easier to wipe clean.
