I love that color, my order came in the other day and I finally decided that that's the color for those oak chairs and table will accent with vintage linen. Painted the brown seats also. Can't wait to do the table. It's like therapy mentally and emotionally . 🌲

[@JamiRayVintage]

It is! If I need to do some thinking or just unwind I paint stuff.

[@deniceshoup7143]

This video is a keeper. It definitely has the the best info about DIY paint. I’m glad I’m rewatching videos

[@elenalatici9568]

Dawn on Amazon Italy costs 99 Euros. Whenever a friend comes from the States I ask them to bring me a bottle.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Woah that’s wild!

[@elenalatici9568]

What is that gorgeous piece behind you?

[@crescentmooncottage]

Getting back to basics thanks.

How long do you have to let your DIY paint dry prior to waxing?

[@zoeemiko8149]

I love this hue of Apothecary. It's one of the best. Such a calming color.

[@kayalford6746]

I have never used chalk paint. I have a desk that looks like it has a laminate top. Very shiney. Can I use your paint on it?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Kay Alford yes you can use the diy paint. I would probably sand it a little to scuff the laminate top up and give it some tooth

[@andreiacantizano6961]

Can I use the roller? 😅

[@JamiRayVintage]

Sure could lol.

[@andreiacantizano6961]

@@JamiRayVintage thank you very much! ❤️Greetings from Germany and a Brazilian subscriber.

[@sharonmcduffiealabama3928]

How long to wait to buff after waxing? And to wax after painting?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Once the paint is dry you can wax, I usually wait a couple of hours after I’ve painted the last coat and distressed the piece. Once the wax is on it’s best practice to let it sit 24 hours and then buff it.

[@sharonmcduffiealabama3928]

@@JamiRayVintage Thank you so much guy's! 🌲😘

[@MarzNGrama]

What type of sprayer do you use for this type of paint?

[@JamiRayVintage]

We use the central pneumatic 20 oz HVLP. Here’s some videos on using it. kzbin.info/aero/PLprcXWqGeBKhlfJjGDODEV2XgHqY7WcK3

I love that colour ❤️

[@trinam.h.414]

Oh sorry 1 more questions. Do you have to reapply the wax on chalk painted furniture after a few months?

[@JamiRayVintage]

The wax we use doesn’t have to be reapplied.

[@trinam.h.414]

Hi Jami, I wanted to know if you know of a cheap way, hints I'm poor☹, to make chalk paint that will blend easily like chalk paint does? I did try the plaster of paris way with no luck. It will not blend when spraying water on it or just trying to blend two colors together. Just thought you might know. Thanks in advance!😁

[@JamiRayVintage]

I tried making my own paint several ways and I was never happy with the results so I gave up. 🙁

[@trinam.h.414]

@@JamiRayVintage thanks so much for your response to both my questions and so fast tooo

I’m totally not familiar with chalk paint but this is so kool. Love yur video and u guys work so well together. When my husband and I try to do a project together it’s like locking a bear and a lion in a bathroom. Question... can u use this on kitchen or bathroom cabinets where there’s a lot of moisture? And is it so thick it’ll scratch easily? Thanks

[@JamiRayVintage]

Sure can. Here are some videos on doing both. ❤️❤️ Bathroom kzbin.info/aero/PLprcXWqGeBKjFXfKGpEwAgKCotjjSNE5T Kitchen kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2TYoZ6JeJKHp8k

Jami Ray Vintage thx👍

[@Blessedgirl1955]

This video was so helpful, I learned so much. Going to try your paints and can't wait to find a piece to use it on! Thanks for all the help you give us on your channel.

[@barbarajeanbraceletlady3090]

🦋I love the hints you give us. I have a question, do you ever paint over the dark wax finish?

[@robox2725]

Can I use this paint on a vintage 1990 Lacquered Curio cabinet?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Sure can. If it’s really shiny you may want to take some 220 grit sandpaper and give it a quick buff. Just enough to rough up the surface a little.

[@kandaceespinoza2590]

I can’t get enough of the Apothecary color!!! It’s my favorite!!!!

[@connihinkel7295]

Really good (& short!) tutorial video - thanks! I like that you keep to the point & attach links to videos that offer more details on specific points. But I have a question - if I heard you right, one of you said to let wax dry for 24 hours before you buff, and the other said to let it dry overnight (overnight is 8 or 9 hours, right?) That's a big difference. Which is correct - 8 or 24 hours?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Both work. Manufacturer recommends overnight before buffing.

[@robox2725]

What’s the difference between DIY paint and Chalk paint?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Here’s a video that breaks it down in depth. kzbin.info/www/bejne/moSQmKyad6preNE

Hi Kristin!

[@mamaleesa562]

Hi just a question I'm putting shiplap on all my livingroom walls what paint would you suggest using? Thanks would love a white color

[@JamiRayVintage]

My walls white swan. It’s a warmer white. jamirayvintage.com/products/white-swan-diy-paint

[@mamaleesa562]

Thank you! Do you seal the walls also? And would that cover the knots ?

[@JamiRayVintage]

I would spray the knots with shellac first. Probably do two coats so you don’t get yellowing where the knots are. Sealing is up to you. If you’re going to need to scrub the walls I would seal them. The DIY paint cures hard like clay in about 30 days without any sealer.

[@mamaleesa562]

Thanks again I'll be buying once I'm finish ! Love what you do watch you every night after working keep up with all you do ! You both are so talented ❣

[@lauradorcy6103]

Awesome!! I needed a quick reminder as I'm getting back to some chalk paint projects! Thank you so much!

[@justdi3347]

Hey Guys, I need your help...pleeeeeez. I painted the inside of a desk drawer with DIY Little Black Dress. I waited over 3 hours for paint to dry and now I wanted to decoupage some of this clear photo memory type paper from Hobby Lobby. So first I put on some Mod Podge and it wouldn't stick, so I had use another piece of that paper and started to use Polycrylic with it and it still wouldn't stick, but what I did notice that as I was using the Poly, the paint started to come off. I thought that I should at least maybe do a light seal of the paint first than do the decoupage, but the paint was all lifting off. Do you know why that would happen. The paint went on great, I did clean my surface but it wasn't until I tried to seal all sections of draw that paint was lifting and looking even muddy with the poly. I know you guys are busy, but I hope you see this comment. Thanks for all your time and talents.

[@JamiRayVintage]

When sealing with a top coat and brushing it on the first couple of coats need to be really lightly applied. DIY paint is clay based and can be reactivated by liquid top coats.

[@justdi3347]

@@JamiRayVintage Thank you, so if I want to decoupage the drawer, should it be sealed first with a very thin coat of the sealer or is it ok to decoupage first than seal because the paper didn't want to stick, maybe it's because it's not paper but sort of...lol, not sure if that makes sense. I may be in over my head on this one. Thankfully it's just for me. Thanks again for your quick response

Jamie and Zeb, I love your videos. I need your help. I cannot find a video on staining a dinning room chairs and chalk painting the spindles. How do you keep the paint off of the stain and the stain off of the paint? Please help! ;0

[@JamiRayVintage]

I've seen people tape them off with decent success, it's not something we do. Way too much work for what I can sell a chair for.

[@jaynebrown693]

Beautiful! When you did your Kitchen table, did you spray the paint or use a paint brush? Can your husband come to Central New York and paint my big kitchen table and 10 chairs 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 ? I want the top black and the chairs... but I am scared to death to do it! I used my table top to cut lots of fabric when I had my Etsy Shop and I used a staple gun on a huge sign for a Baby Shower ( stupid me never CHECKED the length of the staples 🤪🤪 ...... yes.... stapled the 20x40 frame right to my table top ! ). It a gorgeous farmhouse style table, but I truly marked it up !!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

We brushed our table. Work with those imperfections! A little distressing goes a long way. 😊

Have you ever tried making your own chalk or milk paint. I am having a hard time selling furniture at a high enough price in my area to afford the paint although I Love sweet Pickins milk paint and have placed several orders.

Just subscribed and joined everything I could. You are going to be my sole inspiration!! Too bad we can't get DIY paint in Australia. Any suggestion on a similar product of similar quality available in Australia? I found a supplier for Sweet Pickins in Australia A$12 for 6oz...so cheap!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Not sure of a replacement for DIY paint there, as far as I know, it's still the only clay-based paint out there. I can ship to Australia but its so far away it gets pricey fast.

[@DixieLynneMontgomery]

If i change my mind a year from now and want to paint it white, can that be done since it was waxed?

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s essentially breaking the wax rules and isn’t recommended but I do it. Just know the paint may resist and it may not.
