Are you using enamel paint for the black dove finish? Or is there another type of paint used to achieve the metal texture?
I use a paint that is almost similar to enamel paint, but enamel paint produces a glossy color, the paint I use is similar to acrylic paint and I choose a matte one.......
also wonder why the paint is called black dove but the outcome seems to be dark gray in color?
for this final color, I'm not really I understand colors and I think it's black dove but after I saw your comment, it's also true that it's more like dark gray, hahhaha☺️☺️,,,
and this paint is also not the paint I bought so I also don't really know the color, this paint is from my neighbor who ordered the shelf and on the tin there is only a number code for a certain color not writing for a certain color.
thank you for asking about that color...it's will make me know more about colors....
Amazing @lancang! Acrylic paint in matte finish would absolutely do the trick for mimicking a metal look on wooden surfaces. Otherwise, if a glossy paint texture is applied, the effect of a plastic feel is achieved - contrary to our initial purpose. 👍
Let's just ignore paint names for the time being as I also had some confusion with that in my projects, haha 😁 To solve this dilemma, I usually review the various selections on a color palette chart/brochure and request for actual paint samples. This way, I could be 100% certain of the desired results. 😊
