How to apply paint on wooden table to make it look old?

Hello Gerardo, To make it look old you need to to apply a darker color paint and then a lighter one over it. Then in different spots like corners and places that normally get wear, you need to lightly sand until some of the color comes thought. You can also put on one color and lightly sand until some of the wood shows.

The easier ways to make painted furniture look old are some "antiquing" techniques witch include applying dark wax or glaze, and also distressing, which is removing a bit of paint from the edges or areas that wear off naturally over time. You can do it with a sandpaper or wet cloth. These techniques are not hard at all and I encourage you to try.

Here are some short videos that can help you.
