Pentart Antiquing Paint 50 ml

Build a weathered finish in which different paint layers remain visible. Choose one 50 ml jar of Pentart Antiquing Paint in your preferred colour. Combine colours from this range to decide which layers appear when you wipe back the paint.

Choose colours for your layers

Start with two colours you want to remain visible together. White and Black offer a clear light and dark choice; compare the green and blue shades for a patina-like colour arrangement, or include Dark Brown and Lead in your sample. Layer order determines which colour sits beneath the wiped-back paint. Choose additional colours and the remover separately.

• Patina green
• Patina blue
• Alga green
• Cream green
• Black
• Lead grey
• White
• Dark brown

Wipe back the existing layers

Pentart Antiquing Paint is a water-based paint for an aged, worn-looking finish. Apply different colours in layers. Then wipe back parts of the upper layers with a soft cloth moistened with Pentart Antiquing Paint Remover to reveal the colours underneath. On a textured surface, the technique accentuates the depth of the relief. Each container holds 50 ml; choose the colour above.

Try two layer orders on a sample

Make two small samples on the same surface. Use the same two colours but reverse their layer order. Wipe back parts with a soft cloth and the matching remover, then compare how much of the underlying colour shows. Record colours, order and wiped areas before tackling the whole project. This is an exercise for choosing an approach, rather than a fixed recipe for every surface.
