How to age furniture with paint effects

Give new pieces a vintage distressed paint effect look with this clever DIY technique.

You will need: Vaseline and cloth, Resene paint or Resene testpot in your choice of colour. We used Resene Twizel, paintbrush, wooden piece of furniture.

Top tip: You can also use sandpaper to create a worn effect on furniture, using it to rub areas that would normally suffer the most wear and tear. Wipe clean and finish in Resene Aquaclear to seal the surface.
