How Do You Paint Antique Faux Finishes?

0

You can make your walls look any way you want, just by the way you apply the paint finishes. A very popular style of painting makes new walls and surfaces look antique or aged. There are many different ideas and color shades available for your antique faux finish. For a two-tone effect such as the one in this article, use a lighter shade of flat paint for your base coat and a darker shade or different color for the finish coat. Or, give your room the feel of an old Western cabin or a Spanish adobe home. Maybe you prefer a classic Roman feel or a rugged stone design. Whatever your style or taste, you can display it by learning to paint with an antique faux finish. Wet down a clean cloth and wash the surface of your wall to remove all dirt and dust before you apply your antique faux finish. Allow the wall to dry completely before applying any paint. Lay a drop cloth on the floor along the wall you will be working on. Mask off any wood baseboards or areas that you don’t want the paint on.
