After purchasing an
farmhouse white end table in the past this customer brought her sweet antique accent table to be painted to match.
This table is so lovely with all the carved detailing.
Step one; clean it well on all sides with Fusion TSP
Alternative, soap and water and a scrub brush. Rinse and dry.
Three coats in total were brushed on. White colors usually take more coats especially over dark finishes.
After each coat of paint the edges were lightly distressed with a
sanding sponge. The paint was lightly sanded as well to be sure the surface was smooth. Then everything was sealed with
with 3 coats of clear Minwax polycrylic applied with a damp
applicator sponge. This leaves a super smooth protective finish. Again each layer of clear coat was lightly sanded with a clean
sanding sponge.
To bring out the details more and add some age
dark ageing wax was brushed on and wiped back.
See the difference it makes on the right leg and the solid color on the left leg?
This table is ready for many more years of service :)
