Was just wondering.I do faux anque qood painting but have never used a glaze to do it.I start with a sain or flat base spray paint or brush it on then use an old semi dried up paint brush to streak in the finish color, sometimes may use 3 colors for a multi look them i cap it with a few coats of clear protectant.But, i am going to faux cherry my kitchen cabinets and wanted them to look as real as possible and be as durable as possible so i found this sight.I'am trying to get a grasp of the complete technique. Thank you no one has mentioned, is the basecoat a glase? paint/ if paint should it be satin, semi-gloss,high gloss,flat?

Yuck Green Painted Beams! To get them to look like wood follow the instructions for the door. The base coat color is a rich deep yellow like mustard. Don't use a yellow that is tooo bright or toooo pale. If your trying to create a Cherry or Mahogany finish this will require a deeper base coat. Something in the reds. The wood beams on your ceiling should be easy to paint after your base coat. The wood graining is already there. Good Luck Debra THAT Painter Lady Jennifer… Yuck Green Painted Beams!

I would like them to have a wood finish like your door. Would this be a problem to do with them being painted such a dark color? How would you suggest to go about doing this? I also have window trim and baseboards that are painted the same color. What color would you suggest to paint them? Thanks Jennifer I have wood beams in my house that were painted a dark green color.

I like the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=B000BZTJHY%26tag=portablmp3p02-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/B000BZTJHY%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02" target="_blank">Minwax Wipe On Poly, Clear Satin 1 QT</a> which isn't shiny and won't take away from the aged look on the shutters. This product seems to withstand a lot of sun and hot weather. Hope this is helpful... Debra Gayle… yes, all exterior faux finishes need a sealer.

The painting technique I show here would work great on your ceiling panel. I have done this on ceiling beams and it worked perfect. If you really want to get in depth technique information you may need the video: <a href="http://www.fauxfinishhowto.com/Faux_Wood_Graining.html">Faux Wood Grain on Ceilings</a> go for it!!! Joshua…
