In this brand new video tutorial, we'll show you how to seal your project for a beautiful, professional looking finish.
Begin by applying your favorite color of Country Chic Paint to your piece. If this is your first painted furniture project, check out our tutorials on surface preparation (https://youtu.be/wLTaLAAizDE) and paint application (https://youtu.be/kS1wT-yApXA) for tips to help you get started. Make sure you let your paint fully dry (overnight is best) before you begin the waxing process.
You can use a wax brush or just a clean, dry, lint-free rag to apply the wax, but we find a brush works better for most pieces as it's easier to get into all the little nooks and crannies. Being by swirling your brush or cloth in the wax. The friction will warm the wax a bit and make it more workable. Apply the wax to your piece in small, circular motions making sure you cover every surface with a thin coat.
Using a clean, dry, lint-free cloth, buff your entire piece using circular motions until it feels smooth and dry to the touch. If it still feels tacky, you'll need to keep buffing!

Ethel Edwards on Aug 28, 2015I think I'm a little confused. Did you paint the upholstery as well and then wax it or just wax it?
