A wooden chair that has been finished, usually with some form of stain or sealer, should be sanded well before you apply paint. The end result will be cleaner, neater, and more lasting if you do.

Can you spray paint black lacquer furniture?

You can paint a lot of things. It depends on what you are painting. If you are painting metal then use metal paint if you are painting wood then use wood paint if you are painting something flexible such as rubber, thin plastic, or fabric then use vinyl paint. Some objects require primer which you put on before you put on paint to make the paint stick. Most wood objects require paint to be rolled on such as a house or any another large wooden object. Smaller wooden objects would be easier to spray paint such as a wooden chair. All metal objects and some wooden objects need to be painted with a professional paint sprayer that hooks up to an air compressor. All metal objects have to be spray painted. And all objects need to be sanded before painting to make the paint stick. Good Luck :)
