    How to Paint a Bed Frame – 6 Steps | Benjamin Moore

    How do you paint a metal bed frame?
    If there’s a lot of dust or residue, use a vacuum to suck it up. Apply a coat of metal spray primer to your bed frame. Choose a spray primer made specifically for metal since it reaches into nooks and crannies and will bond to your bed frame a lot better. Shake the primer for about a minute and hold it 1 foot (30 cm) away from your bed frame.

I purchased this wooden bed frame off of Facebook Marketplace in 2014 with every intention of painting it for my sons’ bedroom. Well, life got in the way and that DIY project never happened! When we moved into our new home in 2019, my daughter was ready to transition into a big g...

    Clear the Space

    Move the bed frame to a well-ventilated area, preferably outside or in a garage. If moving the bed frame is not possible, ensure good ventilation by opening windows and using fans. Because I tackled this DIY paint project during the winter months, I set up the bed frame in our unfinished basement.

    Protect the Surroundings

    Lay down a drop cloth or old sheets to protect the floor and nearby furniture from paint splatters.

    Disassemble the Bed Frame

    Take off the mattress and any bedding to expose the bed frame. Use a screwdriver to carefully disassemble the bed frame if possible. This will make painting easier and ensure an even coat. I don’t always follow my own rules so I painted the bed frame as it was assembled so I could paint both sides of the headboard and footboard more quickly.

    Clean the Surface

    Wipe down the entire bed frame with a damp cloth and cleaning agent (if necessary) to remove dust, dirt, and oils. Let it dry completely.

    Sand the Frame

    Lightly sandthe bed frame with 120-grit sandpaper to scuff up the surface, which helps the paint adhere better. For a smoother finish, follow with 220-grit sandpaper. Wipe away sanding dust with a clean cloth or tack cloth.

    If your bed frame is made of a dark wood or has a glossy finish, applying a primer is recommended. This will help the white paint cover better and last longer. For this project, I used Kilz (water-based primer) because I had a can sitting in my basement. If you find that the wood bleeds through the primer or makes your white paint look yellow in so...

    Stir the Paint

    Open your leftover white paint and stir it well to ensure even consistency. I like to shake the can a bit before opening too.

    Apply the First Coat

    Using a paintbrush or foam roller, apply the first coat of paint in long, even strokes. Be mindful of drips and brush marks. Start with the larger areas of the bed frame and work your way to the smaller details. Be sure to apply the paint in thin, even coats to avoid drips and uneven coverage.

    Lightly Sand Between Coats

    For a smooth finish, lightly sand the bed frame with 220-grit sandpaper between coats. Wipe away the dust with a clean cloth.

    Apply Additional Coats of Paint

    Apply a second coat of paint, and if necessary, a third coat, ensuring each co…
