The second paint color is Autumn Brown. It is a textured paint. I will describe it as brown with flecks of sand in it. Creates a sandpaper feel on the item being painted. Mine dried a nice faux color that looks pretty darn close to the real rust on my nail barrel shown above. I added a little flower to the "M." This monogram is the topper for my shabby window which I have decorated for my MIL's bday party this weekend. Can't wait to share this cool picture display, but that's another post! xoxo
I am partying with:
Oh - I love this!!! I've been wondering how to do that - and you just answered my question before I tried and messed up 50 million things!!!

That turned out great Vicki! I have been going through the posts I've missed... love your altered cabinet cards, her bday is going to be wonderful! You definitely have the touch! Have a great time... xoxoxoxox
ReplyDeleteHi and thank you for the valuable hint. I have a question: do you completely cover the item with the second coat of Autumn Brown or just spray very lightly and is it all over the item?
ReplyDeleteThanks and if you can answer I will appreciate it very much. Have a wonderful time with MIL's birthday. You've put so much time, thought and planning into making it a day I think she'll remember fondly forever.
Warm Regards,
Susan Burns
Thank you SO MUCH Vicki Girl for this!! I, too, have my own "concoctions" for rusting things - but metal things....never dreamed you could do it to wood. LOVE this!! Thanks for sharing!! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteYou are brilliant my dear. This is one fine rust technique without all the waiting for nature to cooperate. And it looks fabulous on wood that would never rust no matter how long we waited. Love your monogram with the flower.
ReplyDeleteTo answer Susan's questions above, I did do slightly less Autumn Brown than I did Cinnamon. I actually was not too fond of the color when it was wet. I thought I had too much brown. I love the way it dried. I say spray lightly with the brown. You can always add more to achieve the desired color.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool, thanks for sharing the technique. LOVE it! I have a letter that needs changing out. xoxo Debra
ReplyDeleteWow! What a wonderful idea ~ I'll have to try this out. Thanks for sharing.

You did a great job with this!!! I love how the color turned out.
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki,
ReplyDeleteLove your rusty technique, I'll be trying it!
I am so glad I found your blog, I will be following! I wanted to comment on the question you posted on Karen Valentine's blog, I am Lucy's baby. If you are going to do a piece with Caromal Colours, and want it to be for outside use, you should use a poly finish. I use Minwax rub on poly. It will last through rain, sleet. and snow.
I should know, living in MN!
Totally gorgeous, Vicki!! And a totally fabulous tutorial!!! I hope you're having a happy summer~
ReplyDeleteXO
