How To Use CeCe Caldwell’s Paints

I added a new page for your reference in using our AMAYZING CeCe Caldwell’s Paints that we carry…  I get lots of questions about application so I hope this helps!  Here are the details; but you can always click on the How To Use CeCe Caldwell’s page for future reference! 

Paint Instructions for Use:

Clean and dry object to be painted.  Vigorously shake can for 1-2 minutes.  Remove lid and stir thoroughly.  With a good quality brush or roller, apply one coat.  Allow to dry (2-4 hours).  As the paint dries it is going to become much lighter than it is when it is wet.  Apply second coat, if needed, and allow to dry again.  You can run a fine grit sanding block over your piece before or after you wax.

Clear Wax Instructions for Use:

Clear Wax should be applied in a thin, even coat with a brush or lint-free cloth.  Wipe away an excess.  The surface should then be thoroughly buffed with a dry cloth or finishing pad after 2-4 hours.  For an even hard finish, the wax can be rebuffed 2-4 days after the initial buffing.  This product requires several days to fully cure.  Freshly waxed surfaces should be kept free of moisture and heavy use traffic for about a week or so. 

Aging Wax (Light & Dark) Instructions for Use: (We are getting our next shipment of Dark Wax next week… For right now we are sold out!)

Before first use stir well, mixing wax from bottom into upper layers of wax, as the pigment has a tendency to settle to the bottom of container.  Apply with a brush or rag.  It becomes thin (like an oil) as you work with it.  You can use your hands (no harmful ingredients) to rub into the painted surface.  Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before wiping away extreme excess.  Leave more wax in the areas that you want the deeper pigmentation.  Remove all wax from areas that you do not want an aged appearance.  Allow to rest another 10-15 minutes, before wiping away all excess.  Apply a second coat if needed for deeper color.  The wax will take longer to dry and use only a cloth to buff.  Aging Wax goes on much lighter, straight from the container, than most dark waxes.  There is no need to lighten with clear wax, prior to use.  For a harder finish, apply a coat of the Clear Wax or Satin Coat several days after the application of the Aging Wax.

 Satin Finish Instructions for Use: (This is a NEW product and I am getting 10 cans next week also!  Squeal!)

Satin Finish is a durable topcoat.  Stir well before use.  It should be applied over painted surfaces in a thin, even coat with a fine brush, foam brush, or foam roller.  This can be applied right over the wax.  For an even harder finish, a second coat can be applied after approximately 6 hours, dependent on weather conditions.  This product requires several days to fully cure.  Freshly finished surfaces should be kept free of moisture and heavy objects.  Heavy use should be avoided for a week or so.  Satin Finish may be diluted 50/50 with water for use on areas not receiving daily abuse.

 

Happy Painting!

Good Day Oklahoma Wrap Up!

KOKH FOX 25 News

I just finished my Good Day Oklahoma segment, rising to the challenge of completing a furniture project for under $30.00!  In case you missed it, you can click here and here to watch both segments!

I purchased the Chairs for $10.00 each on Craigslist, then using fabric I found in the remnants section at Fabrics Unlimited for $5.00 I recovered the seat and painted the chair with just one $6.95 sample jar of CeCe Caldwell’s Paints!

Total for the entire project was $18.95… Way under budget!  That’s less than a tank of gas! 

Sample sizes and quarts of CeCe Caldwell’s Paints can be purchased at The Feathered Nest in OKC and Showplace Market in Moore.

Now what can you tackle in your home for less than $30.00?
