Choose The Paint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Choose-the-Paint-1024x700.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18768\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover;width:650px\" width=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Choose-the-Paint-1024x700.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Choose-the-Paint-300x205.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Choose-the-Paint-768x525.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Choose-the-Paint-scaled.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll never regret going with quality products, and that includes your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-the-perfect-paint-color\">paint choice<\/a>. A premium paint that\u2019s made for indoor painting is the best paint for bookshelves and is going to give it that extra pop that\u2019s needed for it to stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2. Remove Hardware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Remove-Hardware-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18772\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover;width:646px\" width=\"646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Remove-Hardware-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Remove-Hardware-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Remove-Hardware-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Remove-Hardware-scaled.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember to take the hardware and doors off the bookcase. Use a screwdriver to take off any screws or hinges you\u2019re not going to paint. Hot tip: Put painter\u2019s tape over where all the screws will go so paint doesn\u2019t drip into the holes, making it harder to get the screws back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3. Sand and Clean<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sand-and-Clean-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18774\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover;width:645px\" width=\"645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sand-and-Clean-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sand-and-Clean-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sand-and-Clean-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sand-and-Clean-scaled.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wipe down your bookshelf. A damp cloth works best to get rid of any dust or dirt. Once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/services\/cleaning\/one-time\">clean<\/a>, use wood filler to get rid of any random nail holes or nicks on the bookcase. Then, sand it down with a sanding sponge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4. Prime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Prime-1024x678.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18771\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover;width:652px\" width=\"652\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to paint bookcases, especially when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/services\/handyman\/painting\">painting<\/a> a wooden bookcase, is to prime it. If you have dark colors, priming is a great option because the dark colors easily seep through and will require multiple coats of paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5. Paint It!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Paint-It-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18770\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover;width:643px\" width=\"643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Paint-It-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Paint-It-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Paint-It-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Paint-It-scaled.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let the primer dry before painting the bookshelf. Then, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/services\/handyman\/painting\">apply your paint<\/a>! If you\u2019ve already primed your bookcase, two coats of paint should be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6. Put The Hardware Back and Decorate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Hardware-and-Decorate.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18769\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover;width:648px\" width=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Hardware-and-Decorate.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Hardware-and-Decorate-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take off your painter\u2019s tape and put the hardware back in.
