You'd probably need a special paint (like tile paint) as you are hoping it will adhere to a very smooth surface. Unless prepared to rough it up a lot first.

What sort of furniture is it you intend painting ? Have a look at your local DIY sheds and see what paint they have on sell.

There should be a primer here to suit the purpose.

+1 for Zinsser. I've used the Permawhite on glossy woodwork...no prep,no sanding required. Brilliant.
