How to Paint a Primitive Frame

How to Paint a Primitive Frame

Supplies Needed:
Sanded unfinished wood frame
Flat black paint or black craft paint
Color craft paint of your choice for a topcoat
Paste Wax
Small piece of sandpaper #120 grit
MinWax Stain Special Walnut
Rubber Gloves
Foam Brush
Soft Lint Free Cloth

Step One:
Paint the frame black with a foam brush. I find it easy to do the inside edges first, then the outside edges, lay it down and do the top surface. Let dry about ?? hour.

Step Two:
Apply the Wax Paste, with a lint free cloth. Let dry about 20 minutes.

Step Three:
Paint with your choice of topcoat color. Let dry at least 1 hour.

Step Four:
With the sandpaper, sand all of the edges down to the wood and lightly over the flat surfaces to expose some of the black paint.

Step Five:
With a lint free cloth apply the stain over the entire frame. Let dry overnight.
