Definitely @lancang. Reusable wooden materials must not be put to waste! It just takes some creativity to produce a piece of furniture that appears brand new! As the popular saying goes, "One man's garbage is another man's treasure", right? So this concept pretty much applies to your post story today. 😊
Black Dove Paint - I'll remember this specific finish. At first glance, I really thought that the shelving unit's framework was entirely made out of metal. You produced an excellent job with the final results. Well done! 👍
Are you using enamel paint for the black dove finish? Or is there another type of paint used to achieve the metal texture? I also wonder why the paint is called black dove but the outcome seems to be dark gray in color?
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.......
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. 😊
