Thanks for the video! Made my 30 year old tables look old in a good way. I used your technique with chalk paint.

[@brianmrr4092]

made french door trim with your method. very cool. thanks for info.

[@Paintitupart]

Sounds great!! glad you are happy with the tips :-) Nice to be able to add a special touch to your project

[@jimu57]

This was great! I was trying everything. I tried steel wool and vinegar. Just didnt do it. Another thing I tried was brushing the wood with a very stiff and rough wire brush. It removes some of the sap wood and leaves raised ridges of the heart wood. Looks REALLY weather when I do that and use this technique of making a gray weathered look. To make a thinner plank, I run wood on edge thru my table saw to cut it into about 5/16" think pieces. Going to use those to make a square and then weather it to make a kitchen clock. Then thinner strips make it a lot lighter. Thanks for your tips.

[@Paintitupart]

My pleasure! I only had luck with the steel wool and vinegar when it was old wood and the mixture had a day to cure. It can work really nice depending on the type of wood you are working with :-)

[@mrsflippindippys5238]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you

[@Paintitupart]

glad you were able to use the tips! :)

[@feenstrahhw2211]

This is what I looking for a long time i give it a go thanks fot the video

[@Paintitupart]

my pleasure!

[@camilasunjoy352]

Super easy demonstrated. Love it. Thank you!

[@Paintitupart]

my pleasure! they are fun to make and I'm working on more :-)

Back in the 90s my dad would let me build stuff with his scrap wood. I would make birdhouses, small chairs, yard decor, signs and sell them in my moms yard sales. Well, he would not let me use wood stain because of the strong odor and mess. So he have me craft paint and told me to mix it with water.... several years later, people would come by asking if we had anymore of the chairs or whatever they had previously bought at a yard sale and wanted it stained the same way..my dad had to come get me to figure out what paint colors I used because he only used real stains. I thought it was the kids way to stain...lol now I've been doing it for 25 years! Lol

[@Paintitupart]

thanks for sharing your story! :-) Jean

[@Rebelwellnesslmt]

Loving this and your focus music.

[@Paintitupart]

Thank you Tammy! :-)

[@kreativstattandrea]

It's a really good tutorial. Thank you.

[@CarlosOliveira-yi5ox]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I already joined the channel. Super cut here from Rio de Janeiro Brazil.

[@Paintitupart]

thanks so much!

[@drewjohnson4673]

My wife won’t let me touch her Purdy’s. Great video. Love your techniques. I sell barn wood, but sometimes we need to help Mother Nature.

[@Paintitupart]

Drew Johnson yep. Purdy brushed are awesome! This was an old one that was past its expiration date!

[@drewjohnson4673]

I wasn't expecting a response, just sending you a chuckle. Like your work.

[@cathydavila64]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video 💕 I have question I have a real wood bedroom set I already painted it all white but I want it to look like this so would I have to remove all the white paint to do this if yes what is the easiest way to take the paint off? I hope I don’t have to remove the paint this Bed is very heavy😫🤣 TIA

[@cosmiccowboy1]

love it great job

[@safier321]

Nice done, was looking for other way's to give the old wood look than vinegar with steel wool. It is also ok, and this is ok too.. :)

[@Paintitupart]

+safier321 I LOVE the steel wool and vinegar method! one thing I did learn is that it reacts differently for different types of wood. Sometimes when you are using old lumber it turns out really dark and nice. Other times it makes no difference. I found that to be true on newer lumber.

[@safier321]

+Paint It UpArt That's right, for instance when using it on oak, it turns out really dark indeed, but with pine you will have a nice grey old look. Have a nice day

[@qq-op9fc]

nice information... i like it

[@frederickodendaal8810]

I already painted my wood grey, but you can still see the grain. Can I just paint over it with your method?

[@Paintitupart]

+Fred whatsup Hi Fred! the best way to adjust your finish is to go ahead and sand it off with a course sand paper. Just enough to expose some of the grain and reveal the pattern of the wood. Then go back over it with a wash of black, brown or white according to the look you are going for. you can also go over the exposed wood with wood stain. I would go ahead and sand it and test out a couple of spots on the edges to test it.

[@courtneyzanin1659]

I'm thinking of doing this with a coffee table! What kind of grey did you use? A warm or cool tone? I love the way yours turned out!

[@Paintitupart]

Courtney Almodovar. I used black brown and white to create the gray, I blended it as I worked. if you want to create a cool gray just add a touch of cool blue. you really can't mess it up! it can be washed out with water or sanded if you need to adjust the color. remember, paint will dry darker so let it dry to see the true finish.

[@eddiemontoya866]

hey, I would like to know, the color names you used? I'm working on a Barn and it's about 1000 sqf of wood and would really like this style color stain.

[@Paintitupart]

sorry! I mixed that color using white black and brown! The key to picking a gray color is to decide if you want to go with a warm gray - more brown or cool gray - more blue in the color.

[@mitch5077]

How did you link all the pieces together? i usually use my nail gun but leaves an impression I don't like.

[@Paintitupart]

we use a 1x2 or another board across the back and wood glue and wood screws. They have to be the right length to not go thru all the way

[@CaptainNemo49]

What is the specific name of the music you have playing, I plan to sign up with them, but really like what you have playing ?!?!

[@Paintitupart]

It is the up-tempo music! it is their version of techno. I really enjoy it :-)

[@CaptainNemo49]

Thanks for the quick reply Jean !!! I am starting a basement project, will be making a sliding barn door and need the weathered look for sure . Since I can't afford to purchase 8' lengths reclaimed barn siding, your technique is perfect for the look I am after !! Thanks for the great videos, this one in particular .

[@Paintitupart]

Good luck with your project! Glad it was helpful :-) I love that type of door. Make sure you seal it with a flat or satin waterbased varnish. It will protect it without making it look new. Any oil based sealer will turn yellow so stick with the crystall clear polycrylic type from minwax

[@CaptainNemo49]

Thanks for that info....... putting it on materials list !!!

[@californiageisha197]

You're talented! No sealer or primer before you start?

[@Paintitupart]

thank you! no, since it is new pressure treated lumber it repels liquids so it is best to sand off as much of the chemical preservatives as possible. I want as much of the wash to soak in as I can get. This is just a general background finish for a mermaid painting I did.

[@ndusticeorll]

nice

[@rubyr6702]

What kind of paint are you using..?

[@Paintitupart]

+Ruby R Just plain old acrylic or water based paint you have on hand, this is just to get an old wood background for a painting :-)

[@naushadakj2120]

is it water base paint ?

[@Paintitupart]

yes! standard acrylic craft type paints. Any water based paint you have on hand is fine

[@mostafaaboeid4122]

what kind of paint is used.....acrylic or......

[@mostafaaboeid4122]

i think it is water based paints...right? not oily

[@Paintitupart]

I use acrylic paint. Easiest to work with.

[@vickieroskom5175]

water based paid???

[@JeanoJeanRoberts]

Yep! any water-based, interior exterior paint or acrylic paint will do :-)

[@Paintitupart]

I have a new microphone now :-)

[@ljmpublishingllc3312]

What you call focus music is an annoying noise to me. It was so annoying I had to turn the sound off and just watch the video.

[@Paintitupart]

Yep, I forgot to turn it off for the video. It was too late so I just went with it. Background music never sounds the same when recorded like that. I really like it though. There are lots of different types of music to choose from in the program.

[@BillyJones-mf3ev]

You're using a chemically treated pressure treated wood for interior application!?! Really a wrong thing to do. Informed individuals are going for VOC paints and stains.

[@Paintitupart]

This project had plenty of time to outgas before I sanded it well. I use scrap lumber when available and using the term "informed individuals" cracks me up! I HATE using pressure treated but sometimes its all people have on hand.

[@jamesrichard9722]

music is annoying as h*ll

[@JeanoJeanRoberts]

Yep! it can be especially when the recording on the video distorts it. sorry! haha

[@bohemian46]

Typical amateur effort. There are simple , more believable, ways to do this.

[@Paintitupart]

You're right! this is just one of many techniques. This is simple if you don't have a full studio of supplies etc

[@richardwieselprecht9205]

You left off a link to your "professional" video..

[@Theknotman1964]

nice
