I want to make a table myself, but I don't know how to draw it. How many layers to brush, how to brush, and how long the interval.

There are two kinds of paints, one is muddy water paint and the other is clear water paint. Muddy water paint can't see the wood grain, clear water paint can see the wood grain. Here's how to paint with clear water:

First, use sand skin to polish the parts that need painting and clean up the floating dust; Brush primer 1~2 times, fill nail holes and gaps with putty, smooth with sand skin, and brush top coat at least twice. -This is taking polyester paint as an example. If it is nitrocellulose paint, the top coat should be brushed at least 6 times.
