today I want to show you how to take a light piece of furniture and do a chippy finish and have it dark underneath without having to stand it all the way down stain it then seal then paint so to do this I'm just going to be using spray paint and Sun and I'm going to spray paint my bench it doesn't have to be perfect you just don't want it to be drippy usually one coat is great and then some maybe a little touch-up here and there I like to start with it upside down do the legs then flip it over and do the top also a little tip if you want to do a nice neat spray paint job you'd want it to be warmer than it is outside right now but just because I'm just doing it and I'm going to be covering it I'm not super concerned about it also I did do a light sand on this because I want that spray paint to stick really well and this bench was super shiny all right so it's pretty cold so this may crackle and I don't even care because I'm gonna be a suit do a super to be finished I used about half a can so I can do one more bench which is great because I have one more vent my spray paint is dry but it's still like tacky so you should probably wait like 24 hours but I'm not gonna so about that it's a little dusty because I was working on showing that piece back there I was working on that piece and I sanded it and I got best all over this that's a dresser turned into a desk it's awesome yeah we didn't actually do the construction and I just didn't finish so we're gonna probably have to do that and do DIY so this is one part warm water and one part sweetie Jane and then I mixed it with a fork and then I used my immersion blender to mix that and I did not put any extra bond because this technique I'm so showing you it's from Sasha at Sweet Pickens and she said that when she used to do this with spray paint she has a ton of her few years that she did not use extra bond so I'm just gonna take my brush and this big fattie brush I have here I just ordered a dozen and hopefully I will have them up on my website soon and that brush holds a ton of it's like two dips and I can do this whole top do you guys see this amazing crackle this is what happens when you put the milk paint over the spray paint it just crackles I love it one coat covered it almost completely but I'm gonna go ahead and do a second coat and just hit a few areas that are light and then once that dries then we'll be ready to just dress with sandpaper and maybe even do a web just dress I don't know we'll see what we do go over you can see that dark is coming through you want it you don't want to go too far because like I did you get the light I want to come through you could do wet distress - there's gonna go over the edges and across the top and I'm gonna do sand the whole thing with my 220 sandpaper and then I'm gonna probably wet just dress it just to blur the lines and make it look a little more chippy it didn't all chip off the way I wanted but it did crackle a nice thing is that when you sand mill think it's really really smooth all right something to wet distress and just take these areas where it's coming off and just make it a little bit more it should be and I don't like when it Scratchy that make sense when he gets little scratches so I like to take if it's scratchy like that right there and like get a spot so if you take this and you rub it where you're getting kind of lines then it just kind of softens the distress a little and you can do the whole thing and just you know soften it or whatever and smooth it out it gives you a smoother finish but I'm just gonna continue to take this paint off and the cool thing is if you don't want the original finish to come out if you were just just just what distress this you wouldn't get any of the original blonde lid but I don't mind a little bit of that coming through it just adds an extra layer so this is definitely a good technique to do if you don't want to do a lot of work and you want an under color to come through just spray painted that color and then the paint or chalk paint over the top you can do the same thing with the DIY paint and a fairy chalk whether you're just not gonna get the alligator crackle and it won't distress exactly the same either like this just dresses milk paint just dress this a little bit differently then the chalky pain is just the way it happens it had like some straight distressing with cracks and I just kind of went sideways with it and then I'm getting a little bit more of an organic distressed and then that can also take and go on these runs see that paint just comes right off there I'm gonna do that to the whole thing alright so I'm using sweet Pickens oil wax in black I know that you have seen me use oil wax before but I haven't used this before Sasha says it's just like a glaze and a sealer all in one so we'll try it out just using my lint-free rag and I'm just pouring it on here and you put it on and then you wait like half an hour and then you buff it off it comes in dark two which is a brownish color but I wanted to use black because I have black you can really see the crackle now because it's kind of defined it but it didn't really make it look dirty the color still good it's just richer I feel like it's almost like using like a dirty wax kind of technique but without having to wipe it all back off well yeah and it doesn't look filthy dirty how much of that have you used mmm probably one abusing like half a sample for a third of a sample cuz I'm gonna do like a couple of coats on the top to give it some more and you could do like the black and then put in a couple coats of that clear oil wax on it if you wanted to you didn't want it to get like super dark my furniture is now three pieces deep in my living room this happened sometimes this is being picked up tomorrow this I thought I had a buyer for but they just backed out like ten minutes ago so I've got some backups on it so hopefully tomorrow these two will go and this bench is finished so even if these don't go I'll have to move it out of the way and we'll get some great pictures of this and stage it although Zep are you gonna take pictures of it yeah we'll get pictures of it tonight so we'll be moving the stuff tonight you'll get some good stage pictures stay tuned so just to recap of all the products we used we used rust-oleum spray paint black and satin and don't recommend high gloss or flat I feel like flat it wouldn't give enough resistance and collapse would be too much so statins kind of right in the middle and then I painted it with like one and a half coats not quite two coats of sweetie Jane buy sweet pickins and that's something I sell my website at Jamie Rae Vantage calm then we went over with 220 sandpaper and a wet distress and then I filled it with the sweet Pickens black oil wax that gives it the black glaze look but it also is a sealer and so in 24 hours it will dry hard and kind of a satin finish and then you can just clean it up with soap and water after that so the sweetie Jane and the oil wax you can purchase at Jamie rate vintage Calm be sure to give me a thumbs up if you like this video comment with any questions you have about milk paint I know not a lot of people have used it click that notifications button and subscribe to Jamie ray vintage for more DIY
