Weathered Wood Paint

To create a weathered wood finish the first thing I do is paint my entire piece using a neutral chalk paint.

Weathered wood paint. Stain your pallet boards get a weathered paint look Your pallet wood boards are going to age wonderfully out in the elements. Thats when things get weird. Prepare the Surface With old buildings such as my 130-year-old barn water-blasting the loose paint is not a recommended practice.

Weathering on exterior cladding. Painting new wood to make it look old in under 3 minutes. Weathering occurs when a house with a wooden exterior is left exposed to the elements for too long where the original wood wears down and trapped moisture causes boards to rot.

I know Ive shared about the weathered wood look several times before but I cant help myself. It is just SO ridiculously easy to achieve that painted weathered wood look that so many are after. Im a firm believer in using what you have on hand and never letting paint go to waste so I grabbed some brown paint I had sitting around sadly with no name and watered it down pretty good so that it was easy to wipe and blend.

Rust-Oleum Weathered Wood is a translucent tinted wash that creates a weathered driftwood effect. Make new wood look like old weathered wood or refinish your furniture with this wood finish. It turns out painting a laminate dresser to look like weathered wood is not as simple as painting an ordinary piece of furniture made of actual wood.

You dont have to find or use old pallet wood. Creating a DIY weathered wood look with paint is so simple. Works well in a game room study or bunk room.

Once the paint was dry on the top I poured directly onto the surface a bit of Fusions Stain Finishing Oil in the color Driftwood. This allows you to gain the rustic aged appearance without detracting from the natural grain of the wood. You could use gray or beige or something in between I just made my own using my homemade chalk paint recipe.
