[@pampetersen8110]

Love that color.

[@bill-chichi9701]

Sometimes with galvanized metal you have to wipe it down with vinegar. The chemicals used in the galvanizing process are designed to resist paint. The vinegar helps with neutralizing these chemicals.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Great tip! Thanks!

[@annesilvasantos3929]

Perfect!!!!

[@springhernandez7417]

Thank you!

[@tardesdearte1405]

Love the perfect imperfection! It's Beautiful

[@JamiRayVintage]

That’s milk paint for you! It’s always a little exciting because you never know what you’re going to get as far as chipping goes. Sometimes a lot, sometimes a little. Sometimes crackle. 😊❤️

[@ginamaria2579]

Looks awesome guys 🤗💕

[@denisedevore619]

I am so excited. I just decided to paint another room of furniture. My husband just bought the critter sprayer! I can’t wait to try it out!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Awesome!

[@ChasingSunshineByVeronica]

Good job getting the video up tonight!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Haha! Thanks!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Kirstie! Good to hear from you! Have a great day! Love the tea Dye technique on your latest video. 👍

[@adelinecountrycottage]

Oh thank you. 😘

[@Crystal-be9ze]

Sometimes “errors” help viewers more than you think!

[@J.Kenobi]

I never knew your paint could stick to metal. Very cool.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yup, milk paint sticks really well to metal, especially if you add the right amount of bond. 😂😂

[@phyllistisler3293]

I think your "mistakes" are very informative! It let's us novices know that things go wrong for you all too and how you worked through it..

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️

[@meme7591]

I would like to see a video on how you clean the critter machine. And the tools that you use.

[@jenniferhargrove5280]

Adorable. Love the chippy and i think that little sprayer is cute made wirh a mason jar! Even that is farmhouse...and its called the critter!! Thats awsome...great work always informative. Thanks for all the detailed instructions in ur videos. I love that

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! The critter sprayer is super handy and practical. 👍❤️

[@jenniferhargrove5280]

Jami Ray Vintage this is a little off the subject of the project u just did but i wanted to say i dont leave the house much to shop for antiques but have been looking around on offer up and found myself an antique armoire and a huge dresser that i intend to use as a buffet in my foyer....also a console tables. So i will have three projects to try my hand with the chalk paint and see if i can use the knowlege u have shared with us to make somethin beautiful for our home....and as expected my huband is callin 2 pieces garbage cuz its too rustic and the dresser too beautiful to paint...lol...im determined to prove to him that i can do somethin great with these pieces. Thank u jami n zeb for ur videos and inspiration..we all love and appreciate unz for thst

[@JamiRayVintage]

Go show him what you can do girl! ❤️❤️

[@TheComfyNestwithGrace]

I NEED this!! Oh my wordy word, the time it would save me!!!!! I'm so afraid of sprayers...we used a couple different ones to paint our kitchen cabinets and the ceilings in our new home and it was disastrous!!!! I am afraid of them!

[@gloriafields4328]

I think I'd like the critter sprayer than the big sprayer I have. Gotta get one to cut my paint time down.

[@JamiRayVintage]

The critter is nice. Works with everything we’ve tried so far. It’ll totally speed up your turn around times.

[@MyBooth65]

Love all your videos, I watch them on my TV!! Did you ever do anything with embossed stencils, as a sign or on furniture? You can make paint thick with chalk powder or calcium carbonate ? I think that's what its called. Keep up the great work.

[@JamiRayVintage]

I’ve used plaster of Paris and light weight spackle to build up stencils. Never done a video on it though. It’s been awhile. 👍

[@peggyhelmick8418]

I did see people use Vaseline where they do not want paint to adhere and they just used regular paint but the paint can easily be rubbed off of the areas they want it to look chippy.

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s a great technique. I have a video of a dresser I did using that paint resist with the Vaseline. 👍❤️

[@tracyhoffman7227]

R the trays available? I like them in just the steel look. But I would like to buy 1.....

[@chrispfeifer9235]

I have a question for Zeb. Can I get away with a 6 gallon air compressor to spray paint furniture with? Love this idea and I love the metal organizers.

[@JamiRayVintage]

I’ve done it. But you’ll spend a lot of time waiting for the air compressor to catch up and build back up to pressure. -Zeb

[@virginiadare02]

I have a black organizer from Harbor Freight sort of like your galvanized ones. Will the milk paint stick to it just as it is or what should I do to prep. Hubby says paint will not stick. I'm a newbie and love your channel.

[@JamiRayVintage]

The milk paint should stick. It sticks to just about everything. If it’s really shiny enamel you may want to buff it with some 220 grit sand paper, just to give the paint something to hold on to.

[@TheComfyNestwithGrace]

Zeb, do you have to clean the sprayer with the top coat every time you use it? Or how often ? Can you just keep the topcoat in the container and have it ready to use when needed or does it need to be disassembled every day!? Thanks!

[@JamiRayVintage]

I leave the sprayer full of top coat and store it like that so it doesn’t dry out and I clean it about every 4th time I refill it. Sometimes a small amount will dry around the tip of the nozzle and I have a little wire brush I use to clean that off.

[@peggyhelmick8418]

My husband says metal has a finish on it and that is why your chippy paint didn't stick as well on your second one you did. He said you would need to go over it before painting with something like paint thinner or as I saw below maybe vinegar. It is on new metal to keep it from rusting and etc.

[@JamiRayVintage]

I would love if they rusted s little! Great tip on the vinegar.

[@daniellemassie7303]

Have y'all ever tried spraying chalk paint from the critter sprayer?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yeah. It works great!

[@melissamirisola2477]

Where did you find the metal organizers?

[@JamiRayVintage]

I got these at Hobby Lobby.

[@KATASTROPHE69S]

Will the milk paint make it rust?

[@teganique2250]

Can you use DIY paint on metal? Would you still need that bond stuff?

[@JamiRayVintage]

You can use DIY paint on metal. If it’s super shiny you may want to scuff it up a little with 220 grit sand paper but it sticks really well. The extra bond is for milk paint to help it crackle and chip less.

[@leosuniverse]

cool. How come you guys dont make those wood serving trays or those long boxes yourselves with your salvaged wood? You guys can do so much with what you have and can repeat certain items. One in particular I saw you guys get are those small items like the bird. I bought a molds on ebay and you can do lots of different birds or other things out of plaster or concrete. Then you can have a combo of things of one of a kind and some staple items that you dont need to always run out and search for. Should save some cost at the end of the day. Just a thought.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Can only fit so much in to our day. 👍 the wood gets used up for signs and corbels and rolling pins and candlesticks. 😊 In reality I probably only spend about 2-3 hours a week finding smalls while I’m out and about running other errands I pop into the thrift store for a few minutes and see what’s new.

[@jenniferhargrove5280]

Jami Ray Vintage you two seem so energetic and fun and with all the stuff u just described that ur making...plus runnin ur shop and building an empire online selling all the products....id be worn to a dern frazzle...u guys are great!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

It keeps us busy to be sure. 👍

[@cozyvamp]

Could you use your air compressor to give them a light sandblast before painting? Just rough that surface up a little??? I don't know how air compressors work, so sorry if that's a dumb question. ;)

[@JamiRayVintage]

Not a dumb question. 😊 The air itself isn’t high enough pressure to affect the metal but we have what’s called a soda blaster that runs off the air compressor and it works about like a sand blaster on a smaller scale. That would work.

[@cozyvamp]

@@JamiRayVintage Cool. I always learn new things on your channel. ;)

[@honeyofoats5619]

i need help, i have a hospital bed i want to paint it white and i do not want no chipping in the paint, and i thought milk paint was safe and eco friendly? and what should i do?

[@JamiRayVintage]

This milk paint is safe and bio certified food safe. If you don’t want chipping at all I would sand the piece a little and use extra bond. The recommended amount of extra bond is 2 parts paint to 1 part bond. Here are the links if you need them. jamirayvintage.com/collections/milk-paint jamirayvintage.com/products/extra-bond-sweet-pickens?_pos=1&_sid=ce18922a8&_ss=r

[@jcrefasi1]

1) Would the DIY chalk paint "behave" better on metal finishes? 2) did you use anything to clean this piece before you painted it?

[@jcrefasi1]

By behave I guess I mean adhere and still chip but with out flaking off like it did

[@JamiRayVintage]

DIY paint sticks to metal great. You just won’t get chipping, it’ll have to be wet distressed or sanded. 👍

[@JamiRayVintage]

I didn’t clean them. They were new in the store so I just brought them home and painted them.

[@jcrefasi1]

Jami Ray Vintage Tks so much! Then DIY it is and wet distress for me. I would freak out if I had that much flaking lol

[@JamiRayVintage]

Lol. It was my fault. I should have added more extra bond from the start. I’m always wanting that good chip! Sometimes it’s just too much lol. 😂😂

[@susanlocklear2468]

Do u seal everything after u distress???

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yes, unless I’m keeping it myself. I don’t always seal my own pieces.

[@Crystal-be9ze]

If you sand the metal just slightly you will get the look you’re going for

[@cs9404]

Love. But where do you find the metal organizers for cheap?

[@JamiRayVintage]

I randomly found these at hobby lobby. They were 75% off.

[@cs9404]

Jami Ray Vintage score!!!!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

I know! I couldn’t get them to the register fast enough!

[@QueenVetis]

I went to hobby lobby today cause I loved this video I saw two of the same things but they were 50% off I said noooo and going to wait it out lol I find find some cool spring stuff tho

[@JamiRayVintage]

Nice! Wait for that good sale!

[@sandralevy5965]

What size compressor do you use? I know you've told before, but I forgot.

[@JamiRayVintage]

We have a 60 gallon Husky air compressor.

[@sandralevy5965]

Oh, thank you so much! Have a great day! : )

[@juliebrown3231]

Where do I get the critter sprayer

[@JamiRayVintage]

We got ours on amazon.

[@bluecottonbykammy7199]

Would chalk paint adhere better?

[@JamiRayVintage]

It wouldn’t have chipped like this. Had I used the recommended amount of extrabond the milk paint wouldn’t have chipped. I wanted the chipping though so that’s why I stuck with the milk paint. ❤️

[@roxannemagana4745]

Are u going to sell them omg 😮 😍😍I want them ❤️❤️

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yeah. Taking them to the shop in the morning.

[@roxannemagana4745]

Jami Ray Vintage Not for sale online

[@JamiRayVintage]

I only have the 2. I don’t know how well they would ship. They’re fairly large. Might cost more to ship them than it does for the organizers.
