Restoring Chipped Snow White Lawn Statues | Art Insider

Family Heirloom Antiques is a sibling-owned antique shop in Antioch, Illinois. Co-owner Heather Fenzel walks us through how she restores badly damaged ""Snow White"" lawn ornaments, which include the princess and five dwarves. To repair the statues, she scrubs them with a steel brush to remove debris, washes them with water, files down chipped paint, fills chips with concrete, and then repaints them.

Breathing that dust is pretty harmful while scrubbing! Pretty daring! But very good video!👍👍

Thanks

[@pollymex7000]

What kind of primer did you use? Anything special?

[@ericksonstatuary]

Absolutely excellent paint at the end. However the paint will chip and peel in the near future. All the old paint needs to be removed down to the original concrete to last and a new base coat should be applied before paint and seal. Problem with concrete is you don't know what damage is under the old paint, cracks, pitting and holes. The paint job was absolutely fantastic just a little pro tip on concrete statues next time, I professionally restore concrete statues and will be launching a you tube channel in the future. Great paint job and you got a new subscriber!

[@ClosestSunKB]

Anyone slightly irritated how they changed the colors of the statues

[@jennglow4647]

😀😮

[@jayflow7949]

She Should Make Master Moulds of Them & Make So,e Feom Scratch For Her & to Sell to Other People

[@randoman.]

This is also the way how I restore statues

[@ClearwaterKB]

That yard is an EPA nightmare, but awesome way to give a kid lead poisoning though!

[@thanksforstoppingby]

They were better crusty and creepy.

[@ramiroparra9405]
