    1. Degrease (soap and water) the surface→ then wipe with alcohol to remove residue.

    2. Brush or roll on paint using a soft bristled brush or quality roller. Use thin coats; 13 min between. (option-distress using a spritz of windex for dustless distressing. Message us using the green chat button and we will send you the how to video.)
