Question

Answer 1

Did you sand the table and chairs first. If not, you might want to start over and sand or rough it up so the paint will stick. Depanding on the texture of the table you might have to sand all the wax(shine) off, almost to the bare wood. Sounds like a lot of work and it is, but the results can be worth it. Have fun.

Answer 2

WTH would you spray paint your dining room table anyway?!

I would suggest going to a discount store and buying a new table/chairs.

Anyway to help you, I'd say go to a paint store and buy some real paint, not spray paint, enamal, and put it over the black.

Answer 3

I would paint over it with Minwax® Polycrylic®.  It comes in different sheens (glossy, semi-gloss, flat, etc.).  You can buy it at Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, Etc.  They have spray can and brush on.

Try using lacquer. It also works.
