Chippy Milk Paint | When To Wet Distress and Wax

I said I used Denim at the end of the Video. THE COLOR IS ACTUALLY OCEAN
In this video, I take you through the steps on how to help milk paint get chippy and when I choose to wet distress and when I decide to use wax.

I said I used the Sweet Pickins Milk Paint color Denim at the end of the video but its actually SPMP in OCEAN. Sorry!

[@darciacowart3387]

Close enough. I am sure both would be amazing.

[@lynettenobles7642]

Actually our oce an here in NC o s gray.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Well, this blue leans gray? Lol.

[@dianecottrell7165]

Jami Ray Vintage I so love this its just beautiful! !! Is the paints u used expensive? ??

[@JamiRayVintage]

Depends. A pint of Sweet Pickins Milk paint is enough to do a project this size. I sell it for $16.00

[@MariaSenna167]

Hi Jami and Ray!! I just want to let you know that I watch all your videos, I started flipping furniture in August 2019 and made 28,500 PROFIT so far!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yay! That’s so awesome!

[@elenalatici9568]

Wow!! That's impressive..if i were back in the States, I would love to do that. But I live in Italy, out in the countryside with not a lot of sources to find stuff I could refinish..Kudos to you for being so successful.

[@elenalatici9568]

Love that you showed up in an ad on KZbin. I watch all of your videos. The best!

[@little_misscrafty]

Hi Jami, I love this piece, it is lovely that you are showing furniture painted in a different colours. I find a lot of youtubers doing only white farmhouse furniture, and I really love pops of colour. 💖

[@JamiRayVintage]

We do our fair share of white, but I love colors and especially blended colors.

[@adventureofsix9833]

You are so gracious to share all of your knowledge! Thanks so much guys!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Aww, you’re so sweet! ❤️

[@kenleyerskine5770]

Well spoken , talented, thorough, and professional! I enjoyed this video

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@rustygatecottage9061]

Great job on this piece! I just love it when Jack pops in the video!!! He is so cute and makes me smile!!

[@gloriafields4328]

I'm glad that you did a video on the different waxes and the different ways to distress the milk paint. I don't like to use my orbital sander on milk paint; just my sanding sponge or sandpaper. I haven't thought about the wet distress but glad to find out about that too. I want to try the white wax too before using the clear. Most of the time I use a liquid sealer and have found out that it does tend to make the milk paint chip more that I really like. I have the perfect piece I'm fixing to start on that will look GREAT this way. Can't wait to get started. Thanks for all of your and Zeb's great videos !!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks Gloria! Happy painting!! ❤️❤️

[@ee4231]

interesting the irony in the effort put towards making a piece of furniture look like nobody has made any effort to maintain it.

[@pamclayton4339]

I never get tired of viewing this video over and over...love the way it turned out!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! ❤️❤️

[@chrispfeifer9235]

Thank you, Jami that was a very informative video. I like to go back and watch these again and take notes (I have a notebook just for the purpose of chalk paint/milk paint/DIY paint) so I can reference techniques as I go. I love the table. Again thanks for sharing all the great techniques and ways to use DIY and milk paint. You mentioned doing a white wash type video I will be interested in that. I don't like using wax (I may try DIY wax it looks less like a thick paste than all that I have tried) so doing a white wash (or even a black wash) interests me.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you! The white wash video will be coming soon.

[@barbarajeanbraceletlady3090]

🦋Once again, you’ve made an ordinary piece into a warm beautiful table. I love it.

[@MsWMuir]

Just ordered ocean and the white wax so that I can try this on my giant upright piano. Wish me luck!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s gonna be awesome on a piano!

[@silvershadow7245]

Love your vids and color choices i used the same colors in my bdroom, but i would also love to see some other color options into play like reds or yellows. I am planning an island piece for mom in law and want to change it up a little. Something that will pop a little without being overwhelming majority in the kitchen. Love you guys!

[@elenalatici9568]

Years ago when I still lived in Vt, I did a standing cupboard. It was already old, but I hated the color..I painted it barn red, then painted a layer of millk paint that I made from scratch in a color I love that I call Depression Green. When it dried I just sanded it by hand so the red came through in places. It was beautiful. If you wanted to, you could start out with a mustard yellow as a first coat, then red, then green-- all old colors. It would look great.

[@LCmonman]

Beyond gorgeous!! I learned I need to trust the process…

[@jodylynn8945]

This is absolutely beautiful! You do beautiful work Jamie!

[@nelsonw2096]

Excellent! Very inspiring. Thanks Jami and Zeb and the little guy!

[@ShipCreek]

That table is so pretty.

[@cinders302]

Your such a sweetie, Jami. So is Zeb! I'm in Alberta, Canada, so where our dollar is sitting right now (which is usually wretched), purchasing and shipping in US $ isn't prudent. However...I try to hit the Like 'button' and painstakingly sit through adverts to help out you out. I just have to remember to share your page! Thx and keep up the ambition and continued learning!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@pamelarearick9846]

This was perfect timing for me as I"m planning to do a piece the exact same way, just different colors. I did love that color combo though, might have to buy more paint from you. Lol. Thanks for the step by step, I'm confident I can do this.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yay! Would love to see your project!

[@donnaketz6542]

Absolutely beautiful! This is the look I want to achieve! Perfect!💗

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you Donna! ❤️❤️

[@lmmcgu]

It’s always your videos that cover exactly what I need to do! thanks for always being there 😉

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️

[@carolinebesinger8611]

That's just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist]

That is one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen you paint! I love everything you do, it this one is extra beautiful! Thanks for all the tips and step by step explanations too. I have many projects waiting for warm weather...if it ever gets here to Ohio. More snow this morning...ugh! I might have to start moving furniture inside to paint soon.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! Our mountains got a little dusting on the tops a couple days ago but we’ve been in the 50’s in the valley here. Zeb sprayed a hutch in the driveway yesterday! ❤️❤️

[@sandramiranda4212]

BEAUTIFUL. Love the different pieces you've done.

[@leanekelly6423]

Awesome work. I’ve been watching all your great videos. So inspiring 😀

[@AbbyLifeson]

LOVE this! I have a cheap side table from goodwill that I'm going to try this with, with white paint on top. Can't wait!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Awesome! Send pics! ❤️

[@christinematias8144]

I loved this piece super chippy.

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Very nice job. This gave me the perfect color and paint ideas I have been struggling with relating to a piece of furniture (or two) for our family room. Another beautiful demo and nice departure from your typical white pieces which my house is not well suited to. I have a rustic cottage farmhouse like decor and own many pieces of the darker Eastlake furniture and white white will just not work well. This however is perfecto!!! 👍🏻 TFS

[@JamiRayVintage]

I get that, I love painting with color, But I also don’t put it in my house often unless it’s vintage shades of soft blue-greens. ❤️❤️

[@susanwade2638]

Loved this video! Do you have a cabinet whitewash video? I would like to do my kitchen cabinets.

[@salvagedbykscott]

Really pretty Jami ❤️❤️❤️ And it sold super fast too, woohoo!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

They backed out of the sale. 🙁 they wanted me to repaint it a different color and I politely declined lol. I’m hoping someone else will snag it quick though! My shop space is full and I don’t have room in the house. 😂

[@salvagedbykscott]

Jami Ray Vintage BOO 👎🏻

[@darciacowart3387]

Excellent job and your step by step explanations really help!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Oh good! Sometimes I can start piling on steps and it can confuse people.

[@darciacowart3387]

excellent tutorial. specific straight to the point and I never see anyone recap as professionally as you. It creates a checklist in our mind that we can refer back to easily. And because you are careful to do this step often we can easily pull up a video and go right to where it would be. for a quick reference while working on a piece.

[@thecherishedlife]

Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful! Thanks so much for the video!

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️ Welcome!

[@junerodriguez1938]

Wow you gave a great idea for my home my wall ate blue drke it called storm so I'm going to do white and creams yellows I hope it's goes good together 🤔

[@mariajoaomarques7106]

Very beautiful your furniture, congratulations. Kisses from Portugal

[@bethparker1500]

was the "Grand Rapids"? this furniture was so lovely that it was often ordered and shipped thru out Europe.

[@lllr179]

Very pretty!

[@donnacone4714]

This turned out beautiful thank you 😊

[@chrisinedison]

Jami this is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I’d LOVE to have this piece but since I can’t I will definitely try to do this to a small dresser I have. Thank you sooo much for this tutorial. You rock! BTW your hair looks beautiful. God bless you and your family.

[@JamiRayVintage]

You’re so sweet! Thank you!

[@frugalmomofmany]

Did you see in another comment that the buyer backed out? It might still be available if you check. 😁 You sounded like you wished you could buy it.

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s sold again and this buying picked it up already. 😐

[@chrisinedison]

frugalmomofmany 😊 Thank you for being so thoughtful to let me know.

[@marybronson442]

Girl, you really are the “Bomb Dot Com”, that is BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE 💕 it.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you! 😊

[@annettethrall8689]

Beautiful piece! Love the color combination you used😊

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@lynettenobles7642]

Annette Thrall could you call this beachy?

[@annettethrall8689]

I believe it could be used as a beach decor with the blue that she used, it’s a great piece of furniture 😊

[@thefeatheredhag4279]

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@barbaragallagher1996]

Loved this....it helped will watch all week to learn more before I tackle my much needed projects.it will help in deciding which paint to use too..one more ? After project is done do you dust etc. with pledge or ?

[@colleeninfantino9150]

Oh my Jami, I LOVE this piece !!!!!!!!!!! I'm sad I'm on the opposite side of the U.S.

[@chicco7669]

Great job Amazing tecnical!

[@simoneblue1263]

You guys do beautiful work

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@lornashandmadesoaps7034]

Looks great. Thanks for sharing.

[@jsjh98]

LOVE the table!♡

[@awakentopossibility8714]

Wow beautiful piece!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@vegasenvy1448]

That came out great ❤️❤️💖❤️

[@himashka21]

Oh it’s so beautiful! Love that color!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! It’s one of my favorites!

[@isabeldomingopi394]

Espectacularmente bonito!!! ,el producto blanco que le pones para que le de un tono blanco, que es?? Pintura o alguna clase de patina.Gracias

[@dancingdaisydesigns531]

Thanks Jamie, another great video. I really liked that you gave allot of detail as to how you did the piece and everything you used and why. =)

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@MimiDidi121]

I painted an antique round side table. The very common one with the spindle with 3 legs at the bottom with metal claws, do you know the one I mean? It had never been painted or refinished. It's a family piece. Anyway, I painted it all in a cashew color chalk paint 15 mins ago. 🙁☹ I decided to look for a layering tutorial because I don't like it. THEN I REMEMBERED I HAD (YOUR) MILK PAINT! I'd planned on using it because unknowingly, I used my other bag on raw wood (newly constructed piece)and didn't know it wouldn't chip what happens if I paint over the chalk paint if I super distress and get a lot of the chalk paint off?

[@kristinalowe8627]

Simply beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️

[@tracywheeler1227]

It's beautiful

[@nancykirk4021]

Wonderful! So informative!

[@lorraine7094]

Love how this turned out, and I can’t believe that I actually had that very same piece of furniture a couple of years ago and let it go to the charity shop because I’d grown tired of it 😕 I should of painted it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@amyccr26]

This piece came out beautiful Jami!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@duviaguilar6473]

I love your job is so beautiful.

[@aliwantisacleanhouse7466]

Great video and beautiful table! I am curious what can be used to clean a piece like this?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Once cured (about 30 days) it can be wiped down with a damp cloth

[@Val-jz6lf]

So beautiful, but I did love it more without the white wax because of the deeper hue!

[@18nonnahs]

Great tutorial 🎉

[@amandajones4549]

Beautiful 😻

[@NonieDeLong]

Really like your videos! Thank you!

[@ashleybraden8344]

Love this piece!

[@laurensouthgate2458]

Wow really nice jamie.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@crystalschwahn5296]

I know this is an older video, but can you tell me what flowers you decorated with? The pink flowers are exactly what I've been looking for

[@caylacook9642]

OMG! I literally have that exact table that I'm wanting to distress!

[@PHEEKAT]

So gorgeous!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@jjohnson8977]

how about packing tape @6:46 put down on top of second coat of green. chip parade

[@juliadawnyel4331]

Whats with hole on top

[@dandixon4034]

That was a beautiful table, just saying,to each is own

[@donna8212]

Great job Jami!! Thanks for being so thorough in your explanation. What type of paint and bond would you recommend for Formica kitchen cabinets from the 70’s? They’re still in good condition. I just wouldn’t know what to use if I wanted to paint them. Thanks so much and have a nice day!! 😊

[@JamiRayVintage]

Have you seen our cabinet painting video? I would use the same steps on Formica. 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2TYoZ6JeJKHp8k

[@donna8212]

Jami Ray Vintage Ok thanks Jami!! 😊

[@jojojo7344]

Just beautiful

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@mrsdig57]

Beautiful!

[@hounaidah.farhat5159]

Very nice

[@lastlaugh2023]

That's BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@alexmelamud]

Thank you for the presentation. What kind of sealer to use between paint layers?

[@superandz]

Wobbly table.

[@lisakotch9063]

This piece and color is gorgeous!! :-)

[@judileavenworth9389]

Did you do a video on white wash technique? I would love to see that.

[@SheCreatesStuff2]

Fab and right on time for me.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Oh good!

[@lynettenobles7642]

Perhaps this is a good way to treat those hideous dark cherry, queen Anne pieces sitting in the thrift stores and at estate sales. I have a hard time knowing what to do with those.

[@ras8534]

Yes it would be. Because the carving and shape of those pieces is beautiful. All they need is a color update and maybe a change of hardware.

[@starr6465]

Great Job.

[@natalieporche5748]

Gorgeous piece!!! I'm new to this and I was wondering what was the splash of, "extra bond", you put into the red cup mixture?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Extra bond is an additive for milk paint to help it not crackle. I put just a little in because I wanted some crackle and chipping. If you put the recommended amount of extra bond in it doesn’t chip much if at all.

[@tlbeedy]

When you added clear wax after white waxing, doesn’t that just remove the white? Clear Wax is typically used to erase colored wax

[@lilybecerra2035]

Just found you!! Beautiful table!! Just subscribed 👍😁

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thank you!

[@milkmanzwife]

Love, love, love!

[@bethzaidarosa4955]

Gorgeous piece!!! How would you seal a piece if you like the look the brushstrokes gives it? Would you still use the white and clear wax and just skip the buffing step?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yeah, it will eventually dry and harden. If you don’t buff it takes longer to fully cure because it’s thick. Maybe do a light buff after a couple days

[@bethzaidarosa4955]

Jami Ray Vintage awesome, thank you!!!!

[@l.a.w.79]

Where is the video of you painting your kitchen chairs. I have those same chairs!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

I don’t think I filmed these ones. They were done before we filmed very many things. We have this video on chair repair and painting chairs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH7bl6dohKmjoas

[@i9avici7a5]

I need to go shopping!!!!!!

[@adelinecountrycottage]

I love how the while wax softens the whole piece down.

[@JamiRayVintage]

I initially hadn’t planned on the white wax but it needed something. ❤️❤️

[@jenniferhargrove5280]

Jami Ray Vintage since u loaded the table up in a good layer of white wax...is it a must to also seal in clear wax if lets say the table wouldnt have alot of use and was more a decorative piece?

[@JamiRayVintage]

You’re fine to do just the white wax. I use the clear wax to tone the white wax down and blend it even more but if you like the look just leave the white wax.

[@sandraorganizationseeking1685]

I would like to see the piece before you painted it black. Is there a video where you show it?

[@JamiRayVintage]

We don’t have a picture but Zeb did some experimenting with a new stripping method with the piece in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4PEq3uJrbx4pqM

[@anastasia10017]

excellent video. thx

[@jenniferwilliams7086]

How long does it take for the milk paint to dry .. this is amazing

[@bretthall8115]

Really pretty

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@angeliquemaez5569]

I’m a little confused. If I don’t want chippy but want a little distressed from my understanding you don’t want to start with a shiny piece and when you add milk paint you add the bonder? But what is the different between the diy and the milk paint? Is it best to use the diy then milk on top so when I wet sand/sand the chalk paint distresses easier?

[@sandycope5293]

I painted a china hutch white but didn’t put any overcoat on the brown finish I applied polycrylic on top of white then used orbital sander to distress. I just distressed lightly because it took it down to the wood. What should have done differently and what to I need to put on for finishing coat

[@uasianpapu5179]

Lindo trabajo 😍👍🏻. Que color usaste ? Me encanto 👏🏻👏🏻
