BLOG WOOD PRIVATE Create the SHABBY CHIC EFFECT on your furniture! by Marco Pattarino | PublishedNovember 4, 2020 If you have old furniture that you no longer like and want to give it a more modern look, follow our tips to have a beautiful shabby chic effect in a few simple steps. Preparation of the substrate: Before starting, clean your artifact well with a simple degreaser. Sand the entire substrate well with 150-180 grit sandpaper. After that, lightly sand it with a fine abrasive pad. Remove all the sanding dust from the support and clean everything with a coat of acetone. Wait 10 minutes for it to dry well and the substrate is ready for the next step. Support painting: Choose the color of the nail polish you like best and decide whether to paint with a brush or a roller. Apply 1 coat of ADLER VARICOLOR nail polish on the entire substrate. Wait at least 3/4 hours for the first coat to dry (if more than 24/48 hours pass before the second coat, lightly sand with a fine steel wool) Apply the second coat of nail polish. Wait another 3/4 hours. Now you can create your own shabby chic effect !!! Prendi una carta abrasiva grana 150 ed inizia a carteggiare soprattutto sui bordi e negli angoli, in modo da consumare la vernice e riportare il legno a vista e creare l’effetto “usurato” o “invecchiato”. Puoi decidere tu dove e quanto carteggiare per modellare a tuo gusto la superficie e creare in modo più o meno marcato l’effetto usurato. Pulisci il supporto eliminando tutta la polvere di carteggiatura! A questo punto se sei soddisfatto dell’effetto ottenuto puoi applicare 2 mani di vernice trasparente ADLER AQUACRYL (opaco o lucido a tuo piacimento, attendere 3/4 ore tra una mano e l’altra) ed il tuo mobile è finito e pronto per essere utilizzato. Se vuoi ottenere un effetto ancora più invecchiato e “sporcare” un po’ il tuo mobile: Apply a very light coat of ADLER INNENLASUR etched paint pigmented with a few drops of brown . Wet the brush a little and spread the product well so that it is only dirty and further “ages” your furniture. Let it dry for a couple of hours. Apply two coats of paint transparent ADLER AQUACRYL (matt or gloss to your liking, wait 3/4 hours between coats) and your mobile is finished and ready for use .
