Multi-Colour Look... Colour Paint & Sand
This idea is great for walls, or when multiple
colours are wanted. You can use smooth or texture when creating your project.
PREPARE: If unpainted wallboard we recommend 1 coat of Only Green “Sealquik”.If already painted then clean and apply.
APPLY: Apply 1 or 2 coats of distressed Chalk Paint You may wish a base colour and a 2nd or even a 3rd colour to create something unique. You can you use a brush or roller though using a brush for best results for a texture finish. Dab with brush if you want texture,roll if you want a smooth finish
FOR BEST EFFECT: Dab with a damp rag to create a look before paint dries or wait until the Chalk Finish is dry and sand with a grit sandpaper to create the result you want.
FINISHING: Leave if you wish a chalky finish or...you can apply a wax which will deepen the colour with a satin finish or... apply a “2-in-1 Clearcoat” to achieve a protective film with minimal colour change.
Aging or Antique Look.... Paint & Stain If you have a piece of furniture which may
be made from customwood or perhaps is passed varnishing then this a way of creating
a antique look using Chalk finish and Only Greens range of 2-in-1 Satin and varnish.
Smooth finish works best when creating this project.
PREPARE: New wood made require a primer to seal in tannins and allow for easy coverage. Existing painted work will need a light sand before painting.
APPLY: (1) Apply 2 coats of Distressed Chalk Finish. (White is best and use the 2-in-1 Stain and Varnish to do antiquing. It is best to use a Brush and brush in one direction to achieve an even finish. (2) Sand with very fine sandpaper (240-320 grit) until smooth without going back to the substrate (3)Apply 2-in-1 Stain and varnish either with a rag, sponge or brush in an uneven pattern. We would suggest you do at least 2 coats and practise on waste piece of timber to help decide the pattern you want.
FOR BEST EFFECT: Damp the brush, rag or sponge before applying 2-in-1 Stain and Varnish as this will make achieving the effect much easier.
FINISHING: If you have applied 2 coats of 2-in-1 Stain and Varnish the surface should be sealed. If you want additional protection coat with “Clearcoat” to achieve maximum protection (particularly good in bathrooms and kitchens).
