I am painting my bed
Hello, I am painting my bed; it is a captain’s type bed with drawers. I am painting it white maybe but I am not sure where the best place to get that paint is, do I need primer? How long will it take to paint it and then when is it dry? What Kind of brushes should I use? How many people should help, if any, and any other information possible would be great help.

I've never painted a bed, but I can't imagine the kind of brush would matter much. You'd just want to use a big brush on big open areas, and a small brush if you have to paint close to a wall or do delicate detailed work. You'll probably need a couple of coats if you don't use a primer (this is speculation), and a finish will ensure you don't have to do it again anytime soon xD
I'd just get some paint at Lowe's. That's where we got the varnish for our wood floors.

Well, a few years back, I painted the frame of my bed. I had to sand all the finish off, and then it took quite a few coats, because the wood just sucked all the paint up like a sponge. I suggest getting some people to help you unless you wanna make it a week-long project like I did. As for brushes, I used a regular rolling brush for the flat surfaces, and a couple of smaller paintbrushes to get the hard-to-reach areas. Good luck!
