How To Get That Driftwood Finish On Furniture And More

    Let me teach you how to get this driftwood finish, on just about anything. 

    1. After cleaning the furniture or item to remove dust and grime, paint a thin coat of Weathered Gray or another gray-based SeaPaint shade.

    This will make it easier to rub the orginal finish off a bit to get that look of weathern and worn perfection. Ifbyou're going for a weathered driftwood look, SeaPaint is the ultimare crafty secret to achieve it. And in record time too.

    Let dry 5 minutes.

    2. Brush on a coat of Weathered White or another white shade of SeaPaint.

    Let dry for 5 minutes.

    It should be dry before proceeding.

    3. Rub various areas with the weathering sponge or a fine sand paper to pull the shades underneath back through.

    I tend to concentrate on the raised edges, corners etc for more realistic weathered look. 

    4. Wipe or vacuum off the dust.

    5. Use a soft damp cloth or brush to add the colorful touches. 

    Let dry two minutes

    Rub the colorful areas lightly with a weathering sponge to create the colorful softly worn finish that you see in the video.
