How To Use Vintage Effect Wash

Shake well. To create your desired faux finish, apply with a brush, sponge, or rag over raw or previously painted surfaces. Remove excess or layer paint until desired finish is achieved. Two coat coverage on approximately 42 sq. ft. Lightfast. Self-sealing. Water-based. Permanent. Soap and water clean up.

Tips for Vintage Effect Wash

When applying to a porous surface like raw wood or a piece painted with Chalky Finish, have a wet, clean cloth ready to immediately wipe it back. Alternatively, use Drying Time Extender™ mixed into the Vintage Effect Wash.

For added protection for outdoor use, seal with Ultra-Matte Varnish.

Lightly sand slick surfaces or apply Multi-Purpose Sealer Sealer to give it some tooth.

Follow the wood grain for best results.

Drybrush using a chip brush and then wipe it back with a cloth to achieve a nice, weathered effect. Sand lightly for a more weathered finish.
