HOW TO

 

Step One: Remove The Seat From Your Chair + Mist Surface With Spray Bottle

Step Two: Paint Surface With One Step Paint in French Blue.

You will likely need two coats, let each coat dry in between.

Step Three: Between Coats, Sand Surface Lightly

Step Four: Apply Second Coat & Let Dry

Step Five: Sand Surface Once More

Step Six: Lay Down Mesh Stencil And Press So It Adheres To Your Surface

Step Seven: Apply ChalkART To Stencil With A Squeegee Or Spreader

You don't need a ton of product! Put some product on your tool and press it through the Mesh Stencil.

Step Eight: Keep Adding Your Stencils Until You Are Happy With The Design

Once your stencil designs have dried, sand your surface.

 

Step Nine: Apply Two Coats Of Matte Sealer

Tip: If you want a softer feel, wax your chair after the sealer dries with Mind Your Own Beeswax. Apply the wax and buff. 

Let Your Matte Sealer Dry & Start Enjoying The Bragging Rights!
