How and How Long:
- Place project on newspaper to protect work area.
- Spray several light coats of Ultra-Flat Black to cover top, bottom and sides of project. Let dry.
- Shake all paint cans to prepare to paint wet on wet.
Spray one very heavy coat of Gold to cover entire top of project. Do not let dry.
- Spray overlapping spots of Blue Ocean Breeze, Hunter Green and Black over wet gold paint. Do not let dry.
- Spray mineral spirits over all the wet paint to cause reaction to paint.
- Use damp sea sponge to dab at paint to create mottled, marbled effect. Do not let dry.
- Wearing rubber gloves, spray Blue Ocean Breeze into disposable plastic tub to form a puddle of paint. Dip sponge into paint and dab lightly on project to enhance the marbled effect.
- Drag tip of feather through wet paint in very fine lines to create veins.
- For added protection of your finished project, spray several light coats of Krylon® Crystal Clear as a final step. For projects that will be used outdoors or near a window, use Krylon® UV-Resistant Clear.
Approximate project time: 2 hours.
