Recommended Paints for painting rails, sides and legs of an

[TheWizard]

Hey Guys

I remember a fellow AZ'er had painted the rails of a GC1 dark blue and the legs were white and it gave me the idea of doing the same thing when I purchase a table here in the Philippines.

I was wondering if spray paint would be better and what is the best thing to use for covering the diamond sights for painting, etc?

Any help and info is appreciated, thank you guys as always

don't paint the Formica!

It's not formica, the billiard table I have just purchased has got solid wood rails, sides, etc, but I've been considering on leaving the rails the natural wood colour and just painting the sides and legs, but it's very much an idea that I'm on the 50 yard line with

Also, can anyone here recommend me a supplier of GC or Artemis cushion rubbers here in the Philippines?... I'm planning to refurb the table with top quality CR's, new drop pockets and Simonis 760 TB cloth, especially now that my home billiard room is built and ready to go :thumbup:

Thank you again as any help/info is very much appreciated

I think the pool table your talking about is own by Russ or aka poolhustler. I think its auto paint but you should ask him.

I recently finished the wood rails on my Brunswick Heritage table. After doing a lot of research I used Danish Oil on the wood.

I sanded over the targets to get them flush with the wood and they turned out great. The oil can be applied over them with no affect. I was thinking of replacing them but there was no need.

You can try this finish first on a scrap piece of wood. What I like is fhe fact that it can be touched up easily and also any dents can be removed when needed.
