INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Dust off the cabinet and paint all over with Treasure using the 1" flat brush.
- Rub paraffin over any surface you want to remain Treasure. For a lot of Treasure, rub a lot of paraffin. For just a natural distressed look, rub it on all of the edges and under the knobs.
- Leaving a 3/4" border around each door front, measure out diamonds using the ruler and a pencil. (Adjust the size of the diamonds to the measurements of the door fronts.)
- Paint half of the diamonds with Inheritance and the other half with Everlasting.
- Using sandpaper, sand where you put paraffin to reveal Treasure. Keep sanding until you achieve the desired look.
