and you can use just plain latex paint, seal it well with a quality poly spray sealer, and you won't be able to tell the difference! don't pay for a 'fad' ...

  Thank you. I am always looking to keep costs down on my upcycling projects since i resell them & try to be very reasonable in my pricing.

  many latex paints will accept a glaze, distressing, antiquing just fine .... depending on the colors involved, not the type of paint/gel stains or 'distressing' techniques.
