Blot with a dry rag. All done! Easy!!For the second look after you have applied the base of Brown Bronze apply Peacock Chalked Paint heavier.

Curious as to if this paint and technique would work on a concrete statue that I plan to use as a water feature in a small fish pond. I really like it!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Did you cover the piece 3 times with the Faux Patina Copper Bronze Green effect (it's mentioned 3 times in the instructions)? I would like to try this to a light fixture I currently have.
