Your tutorial here is very well put together though and is making me want to venture into the world of chalk paint.
Distressing wood using chalk paint is one of the most popular techniques.
This technique works great for chalk based or mineral based paints.
To distress the finish and make the painted surface look more naturally weathered take the sander back to the surface of the furniture when the paint has dried.
It sounds so much easier to do.
With emphasis on the edges of the furniture use the sander to gently remove some of the paint and primer allowing the underlying wood to show through.
This is called wet distressing because you used water to create the distressed look to your painted furniture.
I have done distressing before but using latex paints.
I have found that with latex paints the latex becomes rubbery and really does not wet distress well.
In this easy to follow diy chalk paint furniture tutorial you ll learn how to chalk paint your wood furniture and add a distressed look to it.
You can use this paint on different wooden furniture but will work best on tables chairs and shelves.
