Rusty Frame

I finished all my reverse mod podge transfer projects and now I want to share a new product I just tried.  It's by Modern Masters and it's part of their metal effects line.  It's a two part process and I love the results.  Doesn't this look like real rust on this frame?

When I showed you the verdigris finish about a month ago, I had a comment that the reader was surprised it would work on wood.  That is exactly what these products are designed for.  They are for taking a plain everyday item and giving it a metal like appearance.  

First I painted the frame with some Annie Sloan graphite.  BTW, this started out as a shiny silver frame.  Then I applied two coats of the Modern Masters iron paint.  I painted the first coat a month ago and got side tracked with other projects then I finally picked up this one again.  When I started back on this frame I applied the second coat of iron paint.  Once it was dry I sprayed on the rust activator.  Five minutes later I sprayed the second coat of rust activator.

It took about an hour to achieve the full effect, but if you love rust like I do, this product is for you.  I would love to do a small piece of furniture.  It's so unusual and I love the results.

Thanks for stopping by.
