SUPPLIES

  • Artifact (ADC43)

Americana Decor® Varnishes

INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: A roller is optional, but helps keep the paint even on large, flat surfaces.

  1. Clean the piece of furniture thoroughly.
    Step 0 Example
  2. Flip the piece upside down and use a brush to paint the legs and supporting pieces with Artifact. (I find that flipping furniture pieces upside down makes painting in nooks and crannies easier.) Let dry.
    Step 1 Example
  3. Once the paint is dry, flip the piece back over and touch up where necessary. (I did not need a full second coat.)
    Step 2 Example
  4. Use a small roller to paint the accent areas using Carbon. (I used two coats of Carbon and touched up the edges with a small paintbrush.)
    Step 3 Example
  5. Apply a coat of Ultra-Matte Varnish all over to seal and protect the piece.

HELPFUL HINTS

If you're working with a finished piece of furniture (that is, it isn't made of unfinished wood or another porous surface), you don't need to use a primer on the surface before using the Chalky Finish paint.
