Thought the thing was a goner, (solid wood piece sitting on the curb!), but after some reworking and sandpaper, the technique you described really brought it to life. Took 5 cans of paint and probably could have taken one more. Thanks!! I used this method today on a giant hutch and it worked beautifully.

Try to go back over the table with very fine sandpaper (the finer the better) and give the peice a light sanding. Afterwards wipe down with TACKY CLOTH to REMOVE any dust particals left from the sanding. Try to be sure to stay at the recommended distance when spraying & move in a long even stroke motion. Be sure you are Shaking your can of spray paint OFTEN! Good luck! If at 1st you do not secceed, try try again. In short...Dont give up! You'll get the hang of it and then...LOOK OUT WORLD!

Can I go back now sand edges & apply stain for this same sort of effect? I have a chair that I painted with a water base paint and then put polyurothain on it.

After seeing the chairs I decided to paint a chest of drawers black using the same materials. I'm having problems with the distressing, first time some of the areas I sanded left a dull finish around the areas I stained. I had to repaint. I'm going to use a small piece of sandpaper next instead of the sanding block I used first time. Hope I don't have the same problem, any suggestions? I love the chairs.

I'm just about to go out and spray away and needed some extra encouragement. :-) I never would've thought to do the q-tip/staining thing though. That's BRILLIANT! Thanks again, Erika Thanks so much!
