    Most people, myself included, probably never realized just how much work goes into creating a beautiful piece...(in this case pieces)... so this was not only very informative but it also shows us how much love you put into each and every project!!!!... love you guys and thank you for just being you... most you tubers would put their kids through the ringer making them stay quiet and out of the way, but honestly, one of my favorite things about your channel is that you guys are SO LOVING and SO REAL, nothing fake here..!!!! It's the real deal. Thanks and God Bless.

      @JamiRayVintage  Před 6 lety

      It could work. I don’t use it myself because no matter how careful I apply it I always seem to get streaks. Maybe test a small area or practice on a small piece to see if you like the results first.

    I'm glad I found you, i'm on a project like this and I had questions about the how to. My remaining question is: in another video, a lady used paste wax under the following layer to help distress the areas she wanted to have the wood shown. Is the bee wax going to be used for the same purpose or it is just for sealing? Thank you, thank you!!

    • @JamiRayVintage
      @JamiRayVintage  Před 5 lety

      You could use wax as a resist. So if you put it on your piece and then paint where the wax is it won’t stick well and the paint will flake and chip off. I use petroleum jelly for the paint resist since wax is more expensive. Hope I answered your question. 😊

    @speeedracerx Před 4 lety

    • @JamiRayVintage
      @JamiRayVintage  Před 4 lety +2

      latex paint from the hardware store is essentially plastic and doesn't distress well. It can also get gummy or sticky after awhile from being touched. Latex is great paint for walls but not furniture. Especially if you're going to distress the piece as it just balls up or scrapes off instead of powdering off like chalk paints. The paints we use are designed for furniture use and formulated to be minimal prep paints. Meaning, little to no sanding. Clean your piece and paint :)

    • @JamiRayVintage
      @JamiRayVintage  Před 6 lety

      You could use FAiry Chalk Mother Snowflake. It’s the brightest white I carry. Then seal it with a High Gloss Polycrylic for the shine.
      That’s what I would do.
      If you want an all in one you could use a glossy latex but ai don’t recommend latex for furniture. I’ve never had good luck with it holding up for long.

    I have an old coffee table and end tables that my hubby's grandmother handed down to him(they are sentimental to him) and although there is nothing wrong with them,they're not the prettiest,I want the same look that you're doing here however,there is a section on the top of these tables(all 3 of them) that has an ugly marble top. Any thoughts/suggestions on how/what to do with the marble? Can I redo those as well or do I simply replace the marble?

    • @JamiRayVintage
      @JamiRayVintage  Před 5 lety

      My suggestion would be to replace them with wood, but, the paints we use will stick to the marble. Just make sure to clean it well before painting and then seal it well after.

    • @JamiRayVintage
      @JamiRayVintage  Před 6 lety

      We’ve been flipping furniture for years and never encountered it once. Usually by the time we clean a piece, repaint it and then seal it, bugs are a non issue. We have ran into an occasional spider on the bottom side of pieces that have been left in garages but a little bug spray and a broom takes care of that.

      Not long. They mix together well and if you get to much dark wax on you can come back through with some clear wax and it’ll pull some of the dark off.

      What type of white are you looking for? Warm? Bright? Cool tones?

    When you say white is 'pulling blue', do you mean a white paint with a very very feint hint of blue.
    A bit like a blue white which some soap powders use as a tag line on their adverts.
    Thanks

      So, all whites vary in warmth. Some whites appear to be slightly blue in certain lighting, some can be creamy and lean towards a yellow, warmer tone, some are cool and tend to look a little gray. I feel like the “blue pull” gives off the whitest white.

    Is it okay if i dont apply the wax at the end?

    • @JamiRayVintage
      @JamiRayVintage  Před 4 lety

      Depends on your paint. This paint is porous so it needs a sealer to keep stains and water off of it.

      Add as many colors as you like! I’ve done several layers before to get an authentic antique look. On a desk top that gets a lot of use I’d treat it like a table top and seal it with Top Coat for a matte sheen and DIY Big Top for a semi gloss look.

    Do you have to put wax on after the paint?

      @JamiRayVintage  Před 5 lety

      Nope, the paint is porous though so it will absorb things.

    You say you barely sand the item, do you just paint over light scratches? how do you know if the finish needs painted over. thanks

    • @JamiRayVintage
      @JamiRayVintage  Před 6 lety

      We usually don’t worry about light scratches if we are painting since we almost always distress painted furniture. If they are deeper scratches, say, some kid had carved their name in it...we would fill that with lightweight spackle or wood filler before painting.

    • @JamiRayVintage
      @JamiRayVintage  Před 6 lety

      We distress two ways. Heavy distress is usually done with a random orbital sander and 220 grit sand paper. If we want a more controlled look we use a damp rag to wipe back some of the paint to the original finish. Usually we distress the edges where a piece of furniture would naturally have wear from things bumping into it over the years.

    What if my furniture is a lighter brown. It has that yellowish tone to it. What do you recommend for that if I want to distress it?

    • @JamiRayVintage
      @JamiRayVintage  Před 6 lety +2

      If that’s the look you are going for, great! On things I’m distressing I like as much contrast as I can get when I distress so that it stands out so if you want that look, the easiest way to do that is take brown or black spray paint and spray that on everywhere you plan on distressing before you paint with your final color.

    Hey! Love to see this DIY, I was searching for it really badly! Can I ask you how you made your black wax? I bought a small amount of black paint and I'm thinking to add a drop or two to wax, can you advise if it's a good combination? Greetings from Poland! :)

    • @JamiRayVintage
      @JamiRayVintage  Před 4 lety +1

      If it’s a creamy wax (not a hard paste) you can tint it pretty easily with paint. We do it all the time with the DIY paint and Wax. 😊
