People over youtube often ruin nice already properly dark looking dark wood furniture by painting it all black in the cheapest way. The effect is mostly... well... yes, cheap as fuck.

Well, if your goal is to have expensivish dark wood furniture turned to cheap looking one – great success!

If you can't live without painting stuff your but want to avoid it looking like a primary schooler repainting ancient fresco with poster paint at least make an effort to buy or rent (yes, it's possible) proper equipment. Or just outsource whole work to person that understands wtf must be done.

For example this video presents process done with pretty much acceptable result https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtsaQzSUDIE

Tho think twice before turning dark wood into black especially if you are an instawhore as all other instawhores already have rooms full of crappy paint jobs done on furniture. So having dark wood instead of black actually makes you stand out. You like attention, don't you?
