How much paint did you use for this piece?

In reply to Wanda. I didn't mix the poly with the paint - I sprayed a matte poly on the painted portion and then mixed the poly with the stain and topcoated it with a satin poly.

Hi love the Queenstown gray. When u painted the body of the dresser did u mix the gray with the satin poly too?. If not was the finished dresser with just the gray and no top coat? I have not used that brand of paint and love the look u achieved. Thanks so much for sharing your work. Wanda

It’s been awhile, but I’m guessing I used the SealGrip primer that I love so much (PPG brand). I’m glad you like it – I hope your grandmother’s dresser turns out beautifully. 🙂

In reply to Jenny. Hi Jenny! What did you use to prime? SOOOO beautiful - I am attempting this on a dresser that was handed down to me from my grandmother who recently passed. i think she would love it.

In reply to Danielle jennings.

I’m pretty meticulous about my prep – so I clean and sand before priming/painting. You could still brush/roll with good results, but it won’t be quite the same as spraying. But if you use high quality brushes and rollers, you can still get a nice, smooth finish. I’d suggest a mohair roller – that does the trick. 🙂
