Mineral paints are composed of quartz sand, potassium carbonate, and mineral pigments and fillers. Unlike acrylic paints, which only bond with the surface of an object, mineral paints soak into the substrate through the process of silicification, wherein the paint is chemically bound to the silica in the material itself. As a result, these paints are longer-lasting than acrylics once cured, and they are more resistant to weathering, scratches, discolouring, and flaking - this makes them suitable for upcycling all types of furniture, especially those in high-traffic areas.
Before refurbishing wooden furniture with mineral paint, La Deuxieme Chance’s guide advises painters to clean the surface with a sugar soap solution to remove dirt, grease, or wax residue; they can also lightly sand the piece to promote better curing. After the furniture has been prepared, the first coat of mineral paint can be applied thinly - La Deuxieme Chance’s guide recommends a synthetic brush or foam roller for large, flat surfaces for even layering. Once the initial coat has dried completely, the painter can apply additional coats; the guide notes that two are usually sufficient, but worn items or darker paints may look more complete with a third coat.
Individuals can consider stencilling or distressing the edges of the furniture before the paint cures. For furniture that will be used heavily, such as tabletops, La Deuxieme Chance recommends also finishing the piece with wax or a clear topcoat for extra protection.

Fusion mineral paints are particularly recommended for DIY projects, as they cure within 21 days, feature built-in topcoats, and require little to no priming or sanding. Because they are self-levelling, they will also mask most brush strokes, creating a smooth and professional finish. These paints are available in a variety of colours, including neutrals and metallics, and can be purchased online from La Deuxieme Chance’s store.
