How To Patina Paint A Mirror - A Dixie Belle Tutorial
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hello and welcome! My name is Melissa and I am the owner and artist behind The Top Drawer RVA! Today we will makeover a plastic mirror with Patina Paint! This paint contains actual metal and when combined with the Patina Spray it activates and rusts! All the photos shown of the mirror during and at the end are the same mirror 24 hours later after the spray has activated the metal.

@@TheTopDrawerRVA speeding up a video is an insult (in my view) to the viewers who want to enjoy the full experience and learn from the video. Full speed..that is what tiktok is all about...:)
Love it!
Love this!! I’m sooo glad this popped up on my KZread feed tonight. I have my husband’s grandparents ceramic butter churn (he got it from his mom’s yesterday) and he said “I thought you could paint it and use it for staging” and I said “yes!! I’m going to do patina on it!” Talk about timing! I would’ve never thought about putting all those blues down as a base coat, plus the rust and copper with the blue spray (vs the green), all make for what I envisioned for the churn. Like I said, timing!!

Yes! Patina everything 💪🏻 I love it too
Ands love what ur doing.
I was also having trouble with activation. The activater would soak in and just dry. I left my project out side and it rained. That fixed it! So i learned that it needs moisture just like real rust.
Gorgeous!!!
beautiful. ty!

An absolutely beautiful transformation! Do you need to put some type of sealer on the mirror ti protect the crusty areas from flaking off?

Clear coat was used to seal.
Hey Melissa!!! I’ve painted a piece two days ago with the silk line. Can I still use the iron and copper on it?? Or does the iron and copper just need to be wet?

Patina products need to be wet. Then you can spray and activate.
Hello from Murfreesboro Tennessee. Will you seal this piece, if so with waxes? Thank you, this a saver video.

I sea with clear coat or patina guard. Then use black wax for depth if I need it.
I lose things all the time. Hid $6000 & know can’t remember where I put it 😢
Went to facebook page and looked and looked but did not find the finished mirror.???

Hi there. Question...I thought you had to do two coats of the copper, etc and let it dry then do a second coat then spray the patina. Will the effects be the same with just one coat? I haven't used patina paints yet. Little nervous lol. This piece is absolutely beautiful

You can do two thin coats. I use a lot of product and just do one coat. It works fine as long as it’s wet.
