Obviously, I needed a second coat anyway, but on Dixie Belle’s website, they say you need to paint 2 coats for the best durability.Īnd here’s what it looked like after the 2nd coat of paint was dry. While I was at it, I sanded the top to try to remove some of those brush marks.
Some paint just balls up when you sand it, and it’s a pain.īut this paint sanded right down to a fine powder. Does it Distress Easily?Īnd then I sanded it with 220 grit sandpaper to see how well it sanded. I scratched at it in a few different places, and it didn’t scratch at all, except for on the drawer. It’s also definitely a matte finish, but not matte like chalk paint. If I used a higher-end paintbrush, I might not have had as many brush marks. It might have leveled a little bit better than chalk paint. Then I let it dry for about 24 hours so that the built-in water-based stain-blocking primer could have more time to do its thing. It went on very easily though! And within half an hour there was a coat of paint on it. So thinning it out to help with the brush marks isn’t technically an option here. And even then, they say you should only add 2 tablespoons of water per 16 ounces. So I tried to work fast, but I also tried to brush the paint on so it didn’t have brush marks going all different ways.īy the way, Dixie Belle recommends to not thin this paint out unless you’re spraying it. I’ve gotta say, this stuff dries pretty quickly. I mixed the paint up really well and then painted it on with my favorite round Zibra paintbrush. I decided to paint this end table in this light blue color named “Quiet Cove” in Dixie Belle Silk All In One Mineral Paint. So I think there could be a fighting chance here. Even though it goes against everything that I know.īut, since this end table has been well used, the finish is more dull than a lot of furniture. This container of paint says to clean it and then paint.
