How do you paint over a veneer rocking chair?

To paint over a veneer rocking chair, start by cleaning the surface thoroughly to remove any dust and grease. Lightly sand the veneer to create a better surface for the paint to adhere to, being careful not to sand too deeply. Apply a primer suitable for slick surfaces to prevent peeling, followed by your chosen paint—acrylic or chalk paint works well. Finish with a clear topcoat for durability and protection.
