Dry Brushing Furniture

[@sashrhman2670]

Very pretty 👍

[@teresagriffin]

Thank you 🙏🏻. I’m doing a buffet with lots of carved detail. Painted with Dixie Belle Silk Anchor. Used DB Metallic blues and silver on a row of flowers in circles near the top. The feet are very detailed and I was concerned about how to tackle that. You answered that in this video! I need to paint the feet in the metallics, then dry brush over with black! Thank you again!

Glad the vid was helpful and that sounds gorgeous Teresa! Have fun!!

Thanks, I appreciate your knowledge! Great Original Video!

I tried the veg oil to get sticky stuff off and vinegar to get a clean surface never painting and it works. Thank you.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Wonderful! I'm so glad this was helpful!

Thank you :)

Great job! Thanks

[@MariaFlores-ql1rg]

Super gorgeous love your work. Recently I received your email featuring the new Dixie Bell Moonshine metallic paints, I can't wait how you will apply these paints to a furniture pc. TFS

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Maria Flores thanks Maria! I can’t wait to try out those Moonshine Metallics too! 🤗

Hi, if im painting a sideboard using this method, do i have to prime it first or i can just use dixie belle first layer straight?

[@SalvagedInspirations]

It would depend on the existing finish. If there might be a chance of bleed through, I would suggest priming. If not, a light scuff sand and DB paint will do the job. :)

I love the look! I have a detailed metal plaque and just want to highlight the details would this work with only the one paint.

[@hagerstownsm]

Nice video. Did you top coat the piece when you were done? Just curious.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Hi Ray! I believe I ended up using Gator Hide poly on the top of this one. :)

[@jumurph2618]

Have 2 antique heavy carved chairs with rosy brown color. Need your advice for which colors I can use but not gray bec my floors are light beige and furniture brown. Please advise!!!

[@keramiz3072]

What colors and paint are you using

[@dreamrestore213]

Nice lesson....

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@nicolebeck591]

Did you fully paint the piece with the dark gray paint?

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Yes I did... and then dry brushed the highlights.

[@nicolebeck591]

@@SalvagedInspirations ok thank you very much! 🙂

[@qjomishler7359]

I hate chalk paint, never works for me. If I dry brush with reg paint, do I still have to seal it??

[@SalvagedInspirations]

If it's a high-traffic item that gets a ton of use I would recommend sealing and protecting your work. If not, no need.

[@slowrunner40]

What do you use to seal the paint? With detail I find it hard to use anything.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

You might find Dixie Belle's spray wax easy to use on detailed items..works great. I usually spray my topcoats with poly.

[@B4andAfters]

It looks easy, but when I try it it's harder....

[@Zibutegerard]

what did you seal it with?

[@damaturko2027]

Como hicistes la tapa de la mesa

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Yo no lo logré. Lo reutilicé de otra mesa que tenía. :)

[@WandaMartingaga]

Oops you already know that. I mentioned in painting spindles

[@SalvagedInspirations]

No worries... I appreciate it Wanda.. chime in anytime. Love hearing from you. :)
