Steps to follow:

1. First, it is always best to clean your furniture to make sure that varnish, grease, dirt and other residues are gone. We used our Colorantic Cleaner and Varnish Remover and let it work for 30 minutes. Wipe with a cloth and check for residue. Repeat, if necessary, a second time with our Cleaner and Varnish Remover.

2. Second, take Colorantic adhesive green tape to create the lines on the paddle to paint symmetrically and straight. Create your own design on the decorative paddle.

3. In the third step, paint the decorative paddle with your choice of colours. In this case, we stay focus tropical-themed contest, we opted for our Grapefruit, Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Lemon Pie colours.
