I think since I used the clear topcoat from my Rustoleum kit it gives it extra protection so I highly recommend using a clear topcoat.Thrifty Artsy Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00673762216862676373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559121388357570789.post-90550902426098834802019-12-06T07:49:26.120-08:002019-12-06T07:49:26.120-08:00Can you tell me how well the paint is holding up

I desperately want to paint my builders grade bathroom cabinet/vanity, but don't know if the door will look out of place. I'd hate to paint the entire door (both sides) because there are 3 bedroom doors right next to the bathroom and painting just one will likely make it all look seriously out of place. Any suggestions?

Did he have to move or extend any of the pipes underneath to accommodate the legs you put under? I’m just asking because my wife has been begging me to put some legs on the vanity in our bathroom!<br /><br /><a href="https://mikesplumbingswfla.blogspot.com/2017/02/strange-noises-might-mean-brewing.html" rel="nofollow">Nathaniel @ Mikes Plumbings WFL</a>Nathanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296620633943168179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559121388357570789.post-40421213541212186032016-11-05T20:39:50.775-07:002016-11-05T20:39:50.775-07:00I realize this is an older post but did you really...I realize this is an older post but did you really only use 8oz of that paint?

You can see the difference between glazed and unglazed in the pictures above of the drawer fronts. Glazing is super easy, you just use a foam brush and wipe it on your painted surface and then use damp cheesecloth to wipe off as little or as much as you like for the look you are going for :)Thrifty Artsy Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00673762216862676373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559121388357570789.post-89748940942988055782015-10-26T20:55:51.840-07:002015-10-26T20:55:51.840-07:00Hi there.
