Hi all...

I have a question...

I am planning to paint my son's bed upon his requirement.
In order to paint the headboard and footboard, I will have to disassembly the bed, then I find a problem... The headboard and footboard does not stand by itself. It will need to against something after paint... Then the paint touch other items will affected...
How can this be prevented??
Should I paint one side and then the other side? If in this way, it gonna take couple of days to do the paint. In cluding the drying time, it goona be about 10 hours to do 3 coats. Then about 20 hours to do double side...

Can tape some newspaper to the wall it will lean against whilst painting, or a big piece of cardboard, there will only be a tiny part of the headboard actually touching. If you paint the top bit first, it will be nearly dry by time you are ready to turn it over for the other side, have lunch before turning it over, or use a gentle hairdryer heat to speed up drying in that little section before turning over.
