Antique finishes often require multi-step finishing techniques. Specific primer and paint products are generally available for wood, metal and plastic items. Be sure to use the proper product for the specific material. Prime the items to be finished with an appropriate spray primer. Apply the base hue spray paint to the items. Once dry, mist a second layer of black enamel or polyurethane spray paint over the base hue to simulate antique. Variated spraying from a distance of at least twelve inches usually produces good results.
