INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Paint the entire metal sheet in Turf Green using a 1" flat brush. Allow the paint to fully cure before the next step.
- Use painter's tape to mark the lines on the field. (Allow 1/4" for lines.) Use Cotton Ball to paint the markings on the soccer field. Use a round item to trace the center circle. Use a #1 round brush to paint.
- Paint the wooden shape with Cotton Ball. When dry, use a pencil to free-hand the pentagons of the soccer ball.
- Paint alternating pentagons with Black Tie using a #1 round brush. Paint in the lines. Once dry, adhere a magnetic button to the back of the ball using E6000 Glue according to package instructions.
- Paint the entire board with two applications of Americana Clear Chalkboard Coating: Apply one coat and then apply the second coat perpendicular to the first. Let the Clear Chalkboard Coating cure according to package instructions.
- Season the chalkboard by rubbing a piece of chalk sideways over the entire surface.
