How to Paint Faux Wood-Grain Pocket Doors
More in Painting
Step 1: Apply a Base Coat
Apply base coat and allow to dry.
Step 2: Mix and Apply the Top Coat Glaze
Add three parts glaze to one part latex paint to create a top coat glaze. Apply topcoat glaze in sections.
Before topcoat dries drag a dry brush across the groove of the door and flat areas with a slight wiggle.
Step 3: Brush Over Top Coat with a Sea Sponge
On the inlay panel of the door go over the wet top coat with a sea sponge, using a tight twisting motion to create the look of burl wood grain.
Colors used:
Soul of the Earth (KM4072-5) latex eggshell for top coat
Banana Leaf (KM4120-5) latex eggshell for top coat glaze
