How to Paint Gold Dipped FurnitureAdding Gold Accents to Furniture with Country Chic Paint

Hi there it's Rosanne here from Country
Chic Paint. Today I'm going to show you how to do a really fun technique that
will make your furniture look like it's been dipped in gold. Stay tuned to see
how this works I've painted this chair with a couple coats of Vintage Cupcake
and today I'd like to show you how you can create a look as if the legs have
been dipped in gold. I'll be using our Pocket Watch metallic cream for this
which is a beautiful gold color.

The other supplies I'm going to be using are
our Fresh Mustard paint, a painting sponge, some painter's tape, a pencil,
measuring tape, as well as a paintbrush and some stir sticks. Before you start this
technique you want to make sure that your original paint coat has had at
least 12 hours to dry before you start Using my measuring tape I'm going to
measure about 4 inches from the end of the legs up and I'm going to mark it
with a pencil. You don't have to do four inches necessarily you can do 6, 8, 10
inches,whatever you prefer but you want to make sure that it's even on all four
of your legs Now I'm going to use this yellow frog
tape to wrap it around each leg to mark where I need to paint. You want to make
sure you use this specific type of tape when your paint coat is still relatively
fresh because this is the only thing that will stick to it.

You want to make sure you don't cover up the pencil marks so that you can paint
over your pencil marks with paint later Because I want to make sure my gold is
fully opaque I'm going to start by applying one coat of Fresh Mustard paint
to my legs. You can skip the step if you like but it just means that you'll use
more of the metallic cream to get opaque coverage. This just saves you some time. So as you can see I've turned my chair upside down because it's a lot easier to work with.

I'm going to use a painting sponge as it's easier to go around the spindles. You
just want to be careful that you're not dripping over your painted piece So now that the legs are yellow I'm
going to let this dry for about thirty to sixty minutes. It's been about an hour
and the Fresh Mustard coat is now completely dry. I'm going to apply a coat
of Pocket Watch metallic cream with my Country Chic Paint brush I'm going to let this dry now again for
a couple of hours before applying a final coat of the Pocket Watch metallic
cream to give it fully opaque coverage After you're done with your second coat
of metallic cream you can peel off the tape and then you'll be done with your
gold dipped chair.
