What To Know Before Painting Furniture With Metallic Paint

Genevre
by Genevre
Before you decide to do a metallic paint on a piece of furniture, it’s important to understand a few things before you even buy the paint. Know What The Final Finish Will Look Like – There is a huge difference between what silver colored spray paint looks like on furniture and what silver-leafing looks like. Depending on the kind of paint you buy, it can be the difference between those plastic gems you find at the dollar store and a real diamond. If you buy cheap, silver colored spray paint at the hardware store, don’t expect it to look like the picture above when it’s finished. http://paintedfurnitureideas.com/what-to-know-before-painting-furniture-with-metallic-paint/

    So what type paint DID you use? I've tried to do silver dresses for my daughter and they came out awful! :(

    I believe this piece has been done with silver leafing, but I'm not 100% sure!
