    I liked the Magnolia brand. I painted a heavy wood step stool (wood was not v nice) that I found at a thrift shop and it covered really well. The nozzle was sputtering and splattered the paint on the second layer so I had to sand it but it really has a beautiful finish. The color is rainy day, it has a coastal morning mist appearance to it that’s very soothing and attractive, almost like a neutral.

  • @cliftonmcnalley8469

    The chalk paint I've used worked great. Years ago I used an acrylic Glidden product called Kitchen and Bath to paint a cabinet black and it did great. Everyone thought I had spray painted it as they could see no brush strokes and the woodgrain was still visible. Two secrets: 1) proper prep with degreasing using No Sand AND light sanding and 2) Only use an artist quality brush. I EXCLUSIVELY use only artist quality brushes for all furniture and any interior services. I even paint all trim with an artist gesso brush. Makes a huge difference.

    Nice video, so let me get this straight, obviously giving it a light sanding goes without saying, however since you had them all in your hands, or nails I should say, you are picking only one, only one primer, witch will it be? and your are then picking only one paint brand, witch will it be? Regards

    It turned out quite beautiful, I like the color too 👍🏻 I have always loved restoring and fixing old furnitures and other vintage stuff, it's so much better than throwing (better for the environment too) Also, the quality of furniture was much better before than it is these days ~

    Mistakes: 1. Did not use the HTP deglosser 2. You did not use the roll technique after stippling or brushing which is part of the HTP process to flawless application. Use it correctly and you’ll have zero issues! No need to sand. No need to top coat. Cures hard as nails without chipping, scratching off. The BEST all in one hands down.

    Because I'm new at painting furniture, watching you gives me more acceptance and patience in doing it like I like it. Yes, I would work this hard to get the paint / brush marks off. But I would second guess myself that I didn't know what I was doing. So you are helping me to realize: 1) it takes patience and time; 2) go at my own pace; 3) keep doing it over until you get it the way you want; 4) use as many coats of product that it needs. Thank you, keep up the good work!
