01 Chalk Finish Renaissance White

Vintage furniture Chalk based paint for a vintage look.

Some ideas you can use are Renaissance White

• Apply a base colour and thin the Renaissance white 50% with Roma wash and brush over the colour while still wet wipe excess off with a damp rag leaving just a trace of white to soften your base colour
• With tables and wooden furniture paint the legs or surrounds white and leave the rest as a clear varnish giving you a two-tone vintage look
• the photos enclosed are of a project where we used renaissance white and Firenze Blue. The blue has a whitewash and the white has a blue wash

• apply a coat of clear soft wax to leave a smooth satin finish
• apply a clear soft wax and once dry apply a dark soft wax for an antique look
• For a hardwearing finish such as a table top then we recommend Glaze & Medium for a satin clear finish
• Leave Au natural as a matt finish
