Can you sand and repaint a piano?

To paint your piano, make sure the keys and pedals are taped off. Then you can paint. Make sure to sand in between coats. Pick your favorite most bright color and begin painting, using a foam brush to make it smooth.

To begin your prep work, first get your piano ready:

*Move your piano downstairs and outside after making your nice neighbors haul it up two flights of stairs a couple months ago. Remove the "music desk" on your piano (this holds the sheet music). Remove any hardware, like the pulls for your lid. EDIT: * You can sand your piano indoors too. Just wear a mask if you have one, and vacuum and dust when you're finished! For an amazingly smooth and lovely piano finish, don't ditch a good prep job. This includes taping, sanding, dusting, and priming. If you skip sanding it just won't look as professional as other paint jobs. It also creates an unbeatable smooth finish.

Taping Off

Using the brown craft paper and painter's tape, tape off and cover anywhere dust can get into, or anywhere you don't want painted. This includes:

Inside the top of the piano

Covering the piano keys

Covering the piano foot pedals

Covering the metal hardware for the music desk

Sanding

Remind yourself that any color is better than a beat up color, and then begin to sand with 60 grit sandpaper. You don't need to sand until the brown finish is off. Just do a nice sanding over the whole piano. Sanding is used for two main reasons here, to (1) help the paint adhere better to the piano and (2) create an ultra smooth finish. EDIT: If you don't have an electric sander that's ok! Just sand by hand real quick across the piano as best as you can. It will be better than not doing any sanding.

Dusting

Wipe off most of the dust created by the sander initially with a dry rag, then use tack cloth to wipe the rest off. Using a tack cloth makes the finish super smooth and bump free. Wipe until it's smooth and without dust.
