So here are all the details of exactly what I did and what I used to re-do my table.
I used valspar gloss spray paint in mediterranean. Which is a much prettier color than I thought it was going to be.
I cleaned the table good, then I sanded the top only. I had previously painted the top black and stained it so I wanted to make sure to rough it up a little bit. Then I applied a primer. I didn't cover every nook and cranny, because well, I hate priming.
Then I painted it. After it was all dry, I gave the whole thing another good sanding with a medium grit sandpaper. I wanted it to look really scuffed up and old. Mission accomplished.
Then I used a black glaze over the whole thing. The glaze settles into cracks and distressed spots and gives it an antique look/feel. I used valspar antiquing glaze in asphaltum - which is black in case you're wondering, and I got it at Lowes. I am loving valspar products right about now.
Anywho - I will be adding a clear sealant (not a spray, I don't like the way they cover). I will be brushing it on. It's a clear gloss. I want to add a layer of protection, but I also want to give it some shine.
Then my chairs I will be painting red and distressing and glazing as well. Hopefully will have time to get to those next week. Don't you love turquoise/teal and red together? I think it's my new favorite color combo.
