What paint to use for stenciling on furniture?

For the best results, use high-gloss or semigloss spray paint or enamel. Make sure the stencil paint is compatible with the finish. Surfaces to be stenciled must be clean; remove all wax and dirt. If you’re decorating a newly varnished piece of furniture, work while the varnish is still slightly tacky.
