One thing to do, if you want to make it look like chippy old paint, use wax, an old candle, or whatever. Anyway, you rub wax on the piece, paint, then you can scrape off the paint where you applied the wax. You can add multiple color layers by doing this, too. The channel, "Our Upcycled life," shows how to do this. It is so simple and looks so good. She has several videos on how to paint something to look like old chippy paint.
ooooh so cool! I am building out a 1988 chevy van to live in and travel while working in film. I have made so many mistakes during the build and have so many pieces of miscut wood that I need to make into something beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. I do crafting DIYs and my daughter is into farmhouse decor. I am making her a lot of DIYs for their new home and I needed some ideas on how to do the weathered wood look. She is my angel so I thank you so very much because I know she will love everything I'm doing for her if I follow your steps. Thanks again.
I’m restoring an old 1986 camper for my 88 Toyota pickup. The interior walls are going to have this technique!!! I wish I could share a photo when it’s done. It’s gonna look great with the help of this video. 🙏thank you!
Nicely Done!! Very Nicely Done!! I really did like the 3 color effect, very cool, very cool. Loved the colors you picked as well, they very much complimented each other as each looked like an aged color of the other color on the board, so that was cool as well. Nicely Done!! Very Nicely Done!!
Thank you so so much this video has show me how to start my next project and it’s something I was wondering how to use different colors and the chief rustic look awesome Solucion and thank you again for doing this video
Thanks, it was cool. Fast and efficient. I sometimes have to fast fwd many videos! I've done the technique before. But, it's been a while. I think I used to lay down some wax in between coats to get even MORE uneven surface of paint to reveal. Will be watching...( any recommendation on a good orbital or palm sander? Mine has broke.)
I've been using my dewalt orbital sander for years. It's ok. If money wasn't an issue I would probably buy the mirka or festool. They are ridiculously expensive but they are powerful and have the best dust collection.
Like this idea next to trying to do antique method, I would like to do something like this with a medium gray and turquoise with the turquoise standing out a bit more with the medium gray that would highlight it in the background to make it look a bit aged, would the egg shell paint be ok to use, I have 2 quarts of each, the store didn't have the matte or gloss in stock at the time I got these, and may use the clear coat of flex seal so it can be easy to clean and dust (these is for my van conversion build, and like to do these color themes for the front facing of storage areas, cabinet doors/drawers, etc)
i want to create a picture frame from an old window. i have removed the paint and sand it nicely...i want a neon green so what three diff kinds can i use. DO I USE acrylic, oil, chalk, emulsion this is all available in india.
I used a spray on clearcoat. I believe it was a satin finish. I don’t remember if it was poly or something else maybe I mentioned it in the video, but I don’t remember.
Would you get the same result using a roller as you did with the spray can you think? That brushed technique clearly has it's own look to it, curious if using a roller you'd get the same as the spray.
I love the 3 colors definitely!😍 Do you attatch a hose with suction to your standing machine to reduce the paint dust spreading?I'm so worried to use this machine 🤭 don't want to get the house dirty
Great video, I was getting the impression you weren't as impressed with the sprayed version, could of done with a close up comparison, it didn't look as good as the others. All round very nice video though! Thanks
The real concern is making sure you use a paint that adheres to the stain. I would go to a legitimate paint store and ask them. Don’t ask the big box store. Those people aren’t very knowledgeable
I watched your video and it was so informative and so clear and professional...thank you. I do have a question, though, How long did you wait between the spray painted coats? Also, if you spray paint do you still have to wait a couple of days before you sand?
I recommend going by the suggested wait time on whatever spray paint you use. 2nd question, I would wait 24 hrs before sanding. But your questions really depend on the brand of paint you're using.
Enjoyed your video. I am going to try this technique tomorrow. I loved the two green paint colors you used on the one board. What is the color name of those two and the brand? Thank you so much!!
I'm painting using this technique over stain on an existing vanity, is it necessary to sand all existing stain off or just hit it with 120 grit to smooth out and then paint?
What is the best type paint to use? I have painted signs with chalk and acrylic. I see you used latex which is something I don't usually buy? Is that oil based (I'm an amateur at this...), thanks!
Hi there! Great video, thanks! Would this work with a top coat of acrylic paint? Also can I use a wood varnish between layers if I want to preserve the colors below?
