Also, what kinds of paint would people recommend?

Never painted good wood so I don't know for sure. Probably a gloss latex,
but the paint store can advise better. Oil enamels are pretty much gone
these days.
Never I mean never paint furniture with a Latex. Unless you never want to
sand it again. Ever try to sand latex, it turns to little rubber balls. It
does not sand.... Use an Enamel or alkid oil paint.
