Faux Aged Zinc Tray with IOD Transfer

Trays are a perfect project to use a transfer on. This tray was update in a fun faux aged zinc finish perfect for the floral Iron Orchid Design transfer in white.

This solid wood tray is the perfect size for the transfer and needs a makeover after years of service.

The handles were removed, edges sanded smooth and everything cleaned well.

Ash, a lovely charcoal color from Fusion Mineral Paint was brushed needing only one coat over the dark original stain.

I loved this floral Iron Orchid Design transfer in white. It is timeless and classic and will be perfect for this tray and the zinc finish.

To create the faux zinc finish, HomesteadHouse Wax in white was applied all over then wiped back to catch in the creases, wood grain and edges.

Isn't the effect pretty and look like aged zinc?

The silver handles were put back on and go well with the tray adding just a bit of sparkle.
