How to

ane – I Lightly sanded the whole piece (120 grit).

2 – Cleaned entire piece with TSP solution and paper towel and so cleaned again.

3 – Taped and covered with paper the inside of the dresser and drawers to avoid primer overspray.

four – Primed everything with Rustoleum white spray primer.

5 – Rolled outset coat of paint over large areas with a sponge roller (I fabricated my own chalk pigment with 2 part of latex paint and 1 office of Calcium Carbonate).

six – Brushed same paint on corners and details (I E'er use my PURDY paintbrushes).

7 – After it dried, repeated steps 5 and half dozen for the second coat.

eight – When pigment was totally dry out (iv-6 hours) finished it with coat.

Glazing:

6oz of clear coat (I used Valspar); 1 table spoon of black latex paint (mixed them to make blackness glaze); a fleck brush; baby wipes.

1 – Brushed glaze over a small expanse, i.e. a drawer. Immediately wiped glaze off with a baby wipe with steady linear movements (horizontal for drawers and top, vertical for sides).

2 – Repeated stride i on other small areas. The largest surface area was the top.

iii – After piece was dry out, applied some brush strokes on the edges of piece (run into pictures) using a chip brush "dirty" with black coat. The castor was near dry, with but a tiny bit of coat.
