Why is preparation so important? Well, if you don't have a good foundation, you won't have a strong finished surface.
I picked up this locker recently, which had been sprayed a few years ago. Unfortunately, it hadn't been prepared correctly, so the result is brittle, chipped, and peeling paint.
To get this on the right track, I stripped off the paint, sugar soaped to remove any grease, and sanded it to give the paint a key to adhere to.
I used #Zinnser 1-2-3 primer first, followed by #Frenchic in #duskyblush applied with #twofussyblokes rollers.
The floral detail on the drawer fronts is handpainted using Frenchic in #crémedelacréme And lastly, a coat of clear wax to add some extra durability
