Zinc Wax project #2

August 1, 2018 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Erica's Pick, Milk Paint, News

For our next project using our new MMSMP Zinc Wax, I chose an old, handmade cabinet. This one was also painted but we did not rough it up with sandpaper because it was very flat. We did, however, lose the weird screens that were misshapen due to use.

When my husband and I remodeled our half bath about 10 years ago, he built a cabinet and we covered the doors with sheet metal. It created a cool rustic look and we thought we would do the same on this cabinet. I LOVE how it turned out…

We got the sheet metal from Lowes. I liked that it was an unusual design and thought it fancied the whole piece up a bit! We painted a coat of Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Typewriter, our dark gray/black, and finished the piece with two coats of Zinc Wax.

The shimmer of the Zinc Wax on MMSMP typewriter was very subtle. It is not overtly metallic but just covers very slightly and adds a little depth. I am excited to mix Zinc Wax with our other Waxes to see what fun finishes we can create! Be sure to get yours in store or online!
