Do you ever have a vision for a creative project in your head, but you’re not sure if a product exists to make your vision come to life? Sometimes I know exactly what I need for my vision to come to life. Other times I am scouring through the products of my favorite brands to find the perfect product! Let me tell you about the new product I found to help my vision for my furniture flip come to life!
Here is a picture of the dresser/wardrobe piece I selected for this project. The curved edges at the top gave me an art deco inspired feel. My vision for my Furniture Flip Challenge piece was to paint the outside white and add a metallic gold stencil with an art deco vibe.
I went to my local hardware stores to see if there were any options for gold metallic paint. I found the Krylon Brilliant Gold Metallic paint on the shelf and it looked like this was EXACTLY what I had in mind. I picked up the Gold Leaf color.
I tested out some of the paint on some scrap wood. The paint was very bright, shiny, and had a great gold color. When it dried it produced a nice metallic and reflective finish. I knew that this would be perfect for my gold stencil.
My plan was to stencil each of the drawers and door for this piece. I selected the Radiant Scallop Stencil from Cutting Edge Stencil. The scallops mirrored the curved edges of the top of the piece and the design gave me that art deco feel I was going for. I used some spray adhesive to hold the stencil in place and used my stencil brush to dab the paint on to the door with the stencil pattern.
The Brilliant Gold Metallic paint has a similar consistency to regular latex paint, which is what I am used to working with for stenciling. The paint wasn’t too thick where it left a undesirable texture and it wasn’t too runny to bleed through the stencil easily. This paint also dries in under an hour and was dry enough in 5 minutes for me to move my stencil pattern around. I liked that I didn’t feel like I was wasting time waiting for the paint to dry to continue stenciling.
It was also very easy to clean up my stencil and brushes at the end! The Brilliant Gold Metallic paint is water based and I was able to clean up my tools with soap and water!
If you’re looking to add a gold metallic finish to any of your projects, I highly recommend this paint! If you want more information on how to create a stencil look, check out my stencil E-course here!
This piece is so amazing, I love it so much!! Well done!
Thank you so much Laurel!
Love this! Did you use the small or medium size stencil pattern for this project? About to attempt stenciling for the first time and this pattern will go perfectly for the tilt out cabinets underneath the 4 sunrise photos taken on the day of each of our children’s births.
