It adds a little contrast without being so tedious as to have to paint the rooster and leaves in detail. Try it on the backside in a small spot to see if you like the effect. If not, just spray paint over it :)<br /><br />For greater contrast, dry brush different areas in different colors ( the rooster in red, leaves in green, for example ) Just tape off wherever you don't want your contrasting colors. Have fun! It looks great as is, too.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15225321503095204734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065892893862596866.post-48067786723062154552011-06-28T21:17:31.121-05:002011-06-28T21:17:31.121-05:00wonderful redo!!! you did a fantastic job!

I think that highlighting the rooster and leaves would be the icing on the cake for the chairs. But if you decide not to, it looks wonderful just the way it is! I need to paint a few things. So much to do and so little time! I need to buy some primer, though. Didn't do that the last time and my tables that I painted continued to rust. I'll have to use the wire brush, too. <br />:-) SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843513751203663201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065892893862596866.post-68565788029934399892011-06-20T13:03:09.455-05:002011-06-20T13:03:09.455-05:00Your table and chairs are lovely just the way they...Your table and chairs are lovely just the way they are....I love the color you have chosen....perfect!Live Better For Lesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933412008066957555noreply@blogger.com
