Method

Step 1
Stain the wooden frame with Interior Woodstain Imbuia. Seal it with Floor Varnish Suede, and allow it to dry.

 |
|
Step 2
Using the 25 mm brush, apply the Double Velvet, and allow it to dry. Apply Vaseline thinly to the areas where you want the paint to lift, using a long-handled mixing brush or sash tool no. 10. Apply two coats of Velvaglo White and leave it to dry completely.

Step 3
Randomly bash and dent the paintwork using the edge of the scraper and the hammer. A screwdriver and paint stripper may also be used. |
