- Using the same colors as STEP TWO, paint the sides in the same order, blending each color into the next while wet.
- Both sides should match the slats.

- Use a 3/4" flat brush to paint the crown frame with Ultra Black Basecoat.
- Use a fan brush to apply Gold Shimmer over the Ultra Black Basecoat.
