Suggestions on how to repair cherry wood paint that was removed by Advantage Flea & Tick by cat accidently rub

as a cabinet maker and finisher there are a few options you have one is you can go to home depot or a local hardware store and see if they have any minwax polyshades that match your color. if not you are going to have to take a piece of the furniture to sherman williams they can color match your stain. then take either laquer thinner and rub entire side of area down with it or use stripper for paint (also located at home depot) after using stripper you are going to have to wipe down with laquer thinner anyway to clean surface. then sand lightly with either 220 or 320 grit sand paper, make sure you are going with the grain, then wipe stain on and wipe off. then cover with varnish or polyurathane finish. make sure to keep brush (if brushing it on) at a 45 degree angle if spraying on then make sure to go in rows slightly fast and over lap the rows just a bit. then go in opposite direction. if you send me a pic i can tell you how to do an easy fix on certain kinds of stain and finish loss.Suggestions on how to repair cherry wood paint that was removed by Advantage Flea %26amp; Tick by cat accidently rub
If it did that to the paint, what did it do to the poor cat??Suggestions on how to repair cherry wood paint that was removed by Advantage Flea %26amp; Tick by cat accidently rub
sand the area down lightly. Then tape off the area not affected. Now paint a light coat on the affected area. do this until finish matches the unaffected area.
Are we talking about paint or wood finish... two different things there... if it's just paint... scuff sand with some 220 grit sand paper and paint over it... if it's finish we're talkin'... then that's another story... two scenario's... if it's a natural finish (sealer and clear lacquer only) you're in luck... pick up a can of each at your local hardware store. Then sand the affected area so the two sprays will adhere to the wood. Spray the sealer on first to only where exposed wood is showing through. Let that dry and lightly sand to remove all rough spots. Then use the lacquer over the entire affected area. Don't overspray or you'll leave a run. As for a finish or stain on it... I would take that to a proffesional. They could probably color match it for you.
