    INSTRUCTIONS

    NOTES:

    Let dry completely between painting steps.

    1. Begin with a table of your choice. This table had a great shape, but needed some work.
    2. Instruction #1
    3. Sand the entire table. If needed, apply wood filler and sand once dried. This table had some water damage, so we had to peel off the wood veneer and fill the holes for a smooth surface.
    4. Instruction #2
    5. Paint the entire table in Vintage with a large flat brush.
    6. Instruction #3
    7. Once dried, sand to distress the table. Use a hand sander in areas where you can.
    8. Instruction #4
    9. Apply a coat of Ultra-Matte Varnish to the entire table.
    10. Instruction #5
