This solid wood and stainless steel pepper grinder from Cole & Mason was in fantastic shape but really need a punch of color or in this case the absence of color as I chose black, Fusion Mineral paints coal black to be exact.

Two coats of black were applied, each coat brushed in a different direction to create a cross hatch pattern. This adds texture to the grinder as well and for a bit of additional pizzaz I wiped on Miss Mustard Seed's white wax which caught nicely in the cross hatch pattern and softened the black.
