HOW TO PAINT A PIANO | DIY | HEATHER FERN 

you can whiten the keys with peroxide and lemon juice 😁

Well as a piano technician you really should take it apart so when a piano tuner goes to open it he can. Also the front key slip rail should be removed so a piano tech can deal with stickying keys. So please paint parts separate. I'm not trying to cut this video down as I tune and service pianos for a living.

She was like “like I’m a professional or something!” Welp coulda fooled me! Thought she was when she first started talking and got me to watch! Lol! And glad I did! YES! She did such a great job! Kudos lady!

Love this! Thanks for the tips!

You did a really great job and I'm super happy I found this video because I would like to paint my baby grand black in high gloss. It's probably over a hundred years old according to the person I got it from for free. I just had to pay a moving fee. I was also working on my piano and I removed all the ivory keys. I bought plastic white keys on Amazon for about 40 bucks. Just the white keys. First I sanded them down to the correct size and then I glued them on with the blue they recommend. I suggest you do that too to get rid of the yellow. The more you use it, the more yellow it'll get since it's made from elephants. I kept a few of the ivory keys for memory purposes but I prefer a nice sleek looking piano that looks like an elephant wasn't killed for it

Tinted laquer is what you should use to paint a piano. You remove the keys insuring they are numbered, and you take the removable parts off. That said, how did your paint hold up?

That will never stick to the piano. U need to use STIX primer and let cure for 24hrs. Sand down then use advanced pro or lacquer as the finish coat

Nice job. I professionally rebuild and refinish pianos but of course my clearcoat systems take quite a bit more equipment to apply properly. This works out great when you’re going for your own specific look.

If you have a highly varnished piano will this still work?

great job very nice

Hey, Heather! How many cans of paint did you use?

Wow I like it

How much paint did you need to buy?

It does indeed look beautiful. And thank God you weren't going for that shabby chic, rustic, puke-me-out farmhouse look! It is a terrific addition to your drawing room. Y'all made it look so easy! It really turned out splendid.

So glad you mentioned not to paint the resonant wood. Respect!

Heyy I followed your instructions down to the paint except I got high gloss because the one you used was matte but great job 😊

Maybe you should’ve considered disassembling the piano before you started painting it it’s gonna be great when the piano technician shows up and has to take it apart…

Where do they get pianos for free???

Drew Barrymore teaching me how to paint a piano. 🤣

No sanding?

Why, for heavens sake, you painters do not take the piano apart? It is do simple and you do not have to go around all those keys and pedals. I've never understood this. To take a piano apart you do not even need a screwdriver! And do not paint the hinges! This is ridiculous.

Should've definitely taken the piano apart. Wouldn't be that hard to at least pop the keys out

You should replace the keys 🎹

MEh

Bianco è meglio, più bello😊

You can clean the keys with a little bit of mouthwash. Its just like cleaning teeth since the keys tend tonbe made out of ivory

Who plays the piano?? You or your husband??

Nein 🙄😐🤑😤😰😱👿

The piano looks like it’s a smoker with yellow teeth 😬
