You can make Ornamental Antique Gold Crown Molding using gold metallic paint glazes that most people would think to put on the wall.
Ornamental Antique gold glazes are the easiest way to create dramatic antique look on your formal crown molding. This is a simple project; you don’t need to have any experience with glazing or even painting.
There are a few differ coats of paint in this Decorative Antique Gold Crown Molding DIY project, so you will need a few days to complete the entire craft project. You won’t be working all day, but the drying paint will take some time.
To Paint Antique Gold Crown Molding You Will Need:
Decorative Crown Molding
Mustard Latex Paint
Antique Gold Glaze
Spray primer
Paint trays
Paintbrushes
So, go ahead and clean your crown molding. Simply wipe away any dust and debris with a damp clothe.
Let them sit out to dry.
Once they dry you want to paint on a coat of primer to help your Ornamental antique gold paint treatment adhere.
Now, let this dry.
The first step when applying any type of antique gold glaze to Crown molding is to choose the right base coat of base paint.
This is the most important part of the entire Antique Gold Crown Molding project.
You need to paint the Decorative Metallic Gold Crown Molding with a base coat of mustard paint in a color that will complement the antique gold glaze.
This step is so important you cannot skip it.
The second most important step in applying a faux antique gold paint treatment to your crown molding is to know that less is more. This means less glaze. You want to work in small layers and add more gold glaze as needed.
Now, to get started you simply paint on the base coat of the mustard latex paint in the appropriate color. Allow this paint color to dry.
Now, paint on the antique gold glaze with a foam paintbrush. You could also paint it on with a soft bristled paintbrush in an X motion on your Decorative Crown molding.
The great thing about a faux antique gold paint treatment that uses glaze is that glaze can often stay wet a little longer than traditional paint, which extends the time you have to work with it on the Crown Molding.
To clean your Antique Gold Crown Molding I recommend using a damp sponge with a little non abrasive cleaner. Dish soap in small amounts would be fine. You should immediately dry your crown molding, so the paint does not stay wet to long.
