My uncle gave me an old desk of his that's solid pine, but has seen better days so I want to give it a facelift. I know I need to sand/prime/paint/seal, but trying to find good brands to do this all with is a bit overwhelming.
Do I need a primer + sealer combo? Or separate ones of each? I have some old buckets of white paint from behr on me, but I'm getting conflicted reports that if I'll be using the desk daily it won't last long and I should go for another brand. Is this true? I was also going to just spray the completed desk with a polyurethane satin cover that my uncle has. Is there an appreciable difference between a spray and something pricey like General Finishes?
Also in terms of the sanding, neither of us actually own a power or orbit sander - just a bunch of 80 and 150 grit sheets. Would this be fine or should I go out and get some more/different grit sheets?
Thank you in advance
Sorry for the novice questions
