To occasionally receive clients, my partner needed a chair in his office.\u00a0 So I told my partner, don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll take care of it\u2026.I was lucky to find this very sturdy chair, but with dull colours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I had never used this technique, but I had heard so much about it, so I said to myself, \u201cI can do it too.\u201d With the right products and good music I started my project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I’ll explain my process to you, and you can get started too.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Produits utilis\u00e9s” _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”21px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Development” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”7px||1px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”\u00c9tapes” _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_padding=”49px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n On the frame, I sprayed the Cleaner and Varnish Remover<\/a> and I left it on for about fifteen minutes. Once the time was up, I rinsed twice with a cloth of hot water, in order to remove the residue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Also make sure that the fabric is clean, free of stains and dust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I applied a coat of oil-based primer<\/a> to the metal frame to provide better adhesion for the paint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I let the primer dry for about two hours before continuing. I chose the colour, Summer Storm<\/a> to paint the frame. So I applied two coats, allowing thirty minutes to dry between each coat.<\/span><\/p>\n I let it dry for 48 hours before continuing, to ensure that it was completely dry so that I could apply the masking tape<\/a> to the entire metal frame.\u00a0 This step is important so as not to stain the frame when painting the fabric.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In a dish, prepare your mixture: approximately 4 oz of paint (I used the Colour Nautical<\/a>), 4 oz of Translucent Window clear glaze<\/a>, 4 oz of water AND GO!<\/span><\/p>\n Moisten your fabric properly with your spray bottle before starting to apply your colour… This will open the fibers and help spread\/glide the paint well. And go with the grain of your fabric. Apply the first coat of your mixture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Leave to dry for 12 to 24 hours before continuing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The next day, I used the Colorantic sanding block<\/a> (red side) and I sanded my fabric gently so that it regained its suppleness. Don’t be surprised, the fabric becomes very rigid. It\u2019s the sanding step that makes the difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So I prepared the second mixture: 4 oz of Nautical<\/a> paint, 2 oz of Translucent Window clear glaze<\/a> and 2 oz of water. Here we go again, moisten the fabric a little and apply your second coat. And this time, I let it dry for 4 to 6 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So I prepared the third mixture: 4 oz of paint and 2 oz of Translucent Window clear glaze. Do not add water at this step.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I sanded lightly again before applying the third coat. I sprayed water on the fabric to help me apply the paint.\u00a0 Then, I let it dry for 48 hours before continuing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Now is the time to apply the wax<\/a>. Do one last little sanding, remove the masking tape and make sure to dust well. With the 16mm brush<\/a> we apply a layer of wax to all surfaces. Using a white cloth or blue paper towel, it is important to rub well to spread it and also soften the fabric. It is very important to change the cloth, as it will become clogged with wax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Allow to dry at least two weeks before use. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”66343,66345″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Finished Product” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|||auto|false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Conclusion” _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”25px|||||” custom_padding=”21px||5px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Ouffff\u2026 Well there you go, when you want, you can\u2026 You have to trust yourself in life and not give in to fear.
