Small Table Project

Recommended Posts

Here's a small project I've been working on as an experiment. I just wanted to see how the foil material and paint mask work out.  I took a cheap Ikea table and painted it white and added the design to the top. it still needs a protective finish. I'm not really sure I used the right color foil. You judge....  :huh:

A big thanks Rob for the foil.

Wow, it looks great! Could you explain the process and materials used, please?!

Sure,

Used paint mask and lined it up on the table, used black enamel spray paint to cover the design. After it's painted you wait for it to become tacky. You should be able to touch it without paint sticking to your finger, but it should be sticky.

What I used was a foil I got from Rob at Antiqued-Mirrors.com http://www.shop.antiqued-mirrors.com/Metallic-Holographic-Foil-Sample-Packs-Rolls-By-the-Yard_c6.htm You take some foil and a brush and crumble it up then lay it over the paint and brush it on then pull it off. You just keep doing that until you're happy with the look.

Rob has some youtube video's and I just watched those before I gave it a try. He a member on here and does some really amazing work.

Here's the links:
