Just to be sure this orangy cherry color does not bleed thru I put on a grey tinted coat of primer. Fusion has a product called
concealer I hope to try in the future that does this same job.
I brushed on two coats of the brushed steel metallic paint allowing to dry well between coats then did the glaze mixed with
Fusion ash color.
Then as per Jennylyn's advice I sealed it all up with
Fusion Mineral paint's tough coat which indeed deepened the steel look and will give the nightstand added durability. I scrubbed up the original hardware and put back on. It compliments the brushed steel and allows the nightstand to be either masculine or feminine.
the top narrow molding is the painted drawer, cute right? I think it is a great place for a diary ;)
I painted the top drawer a lighter grey
perfect not only in a bedroom but at a front door, end of a hall or in a living room used as an end table, so many uses for this reloved piece.

Beautifully done!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful job! So many new paints I have no idea how to use. Or glazes. Your nightstand looks so high end.

DeleteWhere do you buy this
ReplyDeleteThank you so much so sorry for the delay in replying as this was found in an awaiting moderation folder ;(
DeleteYou can buy this at any Fusion retailer, just click the link above and find on their website one near you
When you applied the ash tinted glaze did you brush on then wipe off or did you dry brush it?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much so sorry for the delay in replying as this was found in an awaiting moderation folder ;(
DeleteI wiped off :)
Fusion Mineral recommend not to use the Tough Coat on mid tones and darker colours because it can leave milky streaks - did you have any issues with this? Also did you use the Clear glaze with the Ash (rather than the Antique)/
ReplyDeleteThank you so much so sorry for the delay in replying as this was found in an awaiting moderation folder ;(
Deleteyes I used the clear glaze with the ash and the tough coat worked perfectly seeing it was metallic I think
It says not to use clear coat on the darker colours but you said you did. Did it work ok.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much so sorry for the delay in replying as this was found in an awaiting moderation folder ;(
DeleteClear coat worked just fine :)
Did you sand between coats
ReplyDeleteThank you so much so sorry for the delay in replying as this was found in an awaiting moderation folder ;(
DeleteI always lightly sponge sand between paint coats and clear coats for a super smooth finish :)
Can you but IT un México?
ReplyDeleteCan you buy Fusion products in Mexico? I am not certain but if you go to their website they will be able to help you :)
DeleteCan you buy Fusion products in Montreal,Quebec
ReplyDeleteyes you can I am sure, just check locations on their website
DeleteCould I just use a light grey fusion paint for the base coat and then top it with the brushed steel metallic paint?
ReplyDeleteSure you could :) It just might be a touch lighter but lots of color combos can make a similar look.
