We recently had the opportunity to try out a new product
(OK, new to US!)
It's called Modern Masters
and I now want to paint EVERYTHING
metallic!
We used the "Shimmer" Metallic Paint
in Warm Silver
(and let me tell you, I AGONIZED over what color to try
there is a rainbow of shimmery hues!)
I know, I know...you want pictures!
Here you go!
Remember THIS set?
Well just LOOK at her now!
So about the paint...
it goes on like a DREAM
It's opaque, but we used a lighter shade, so we used three coats
When I told Kenny we were going to try metallic paint, he said:
"you better let ME do this project"
He said this because he is a perfectionist painter,
whereas I am NOT...
Usually, metallics are VERY unforgiving
and every brush stroke shows
(which explains why Kenny didn't want me to do it!)
but this paint is so SMOOTH!
It dried fairly quickly, too
These pieces had a shiny, varnished surface
so we lightly sanded them first
We distressed just a little, and the paint was easy to distress
To finish, we used dark wax
I was very worried that I'd opted to tackle
such a LARGE project with one quart of paint...
but guess what?
We've got half a quart left!
I am OVER-THE-MOON
about how this set turned out...
Modern Masters was the perfect choice
to GLAM it up...
I loved it so much, in fact,
