Go back to slideshow
Tools + Materials
ready-to-finish bench
primer
latex paint (we used red and blue)
paint brush
white wax candle
sandpaper, medium-grit
tack cloth
polyurethane sealer
1. Prime and then paint the bench with the base color and let dry. Rub the candle along the grain, liberally coating the edges.
2. Paint the bench with the second color; let dry.
3. Sand the bench with the sandpaper until the base coat shows through as desired (the wax makes this easier). Wipe the piece with the tack cloth to remove any particles and dust and then protect the paint with two coats of polyurethane.
