It will take a couple more coats of the Red Pepper and then it will be decision time....Stay Red or use a overcoat of another color. One of the things I like about Milk paint is as it wears it doesn't flake but will reveal the paint and/or wood under the top coat. If I decide to go with a different top coat the question is.....Which one? Black always works well with a red under coat, I've never tried Blue over red and think it might be interesting. I expect yellow or green would be kinda indifferent.
Whatever I'm ready to move on to either the travel work bench or some shop furniture, unless MsBubba has other plans.

I think that red paint will go well with the grand's peanut teddy bears :-)

Well, with the shoulder and other assorted maladies, you sure get a lot done! I really like being able to see the grain through the paint. I wonder if that will still be true after a couple more coats.
ReplyDeleteBob and Matt,
ReplyDeleteHey he's a manly, man Texan...ain't no Teddy Bears in his future. Only spitting, cussing and riding bulls or is that BS :-).
Matt,
See above :-).
I've tested the shoulder and as long as I'm careful I can saw, chop, pare and even plane....Forget to be careful, "damn, I will not do that again. At least until the next time". Lifting and moving stuff is another story.
For me that is one of the many things I like about Milk paint. Unlike other paints it does not form a "film" covering your wood. You know there is wood that has been worked under the color.
