and maybe even this one:

What it all boils down to is this:
Use wax or Vaseline on the areas you plan on sanding
Paint your top coat on
GENTLY sand the areas where you put the wax or Vaseline so it removes the top layer but doesn’t go deeper
Let the paint cure
Wash it gently to get off any remaining debris from the sanding
Seal the deal with Polycrylic by MinWax. It comes in different sheens so pick the one you want. For a dull flat finish choose Matte, or for a shiny finish pick Gloss.

It has a granite top with browns and little black in it. I have already primed and painted a dark chocholate color on the cabinet. My question is this- what do i need to put on top of my base coat so when i put my next color on to do the worn look with the sandpaper it won't rub down to my primer? And what do i need to use to protect my paint job? hi there, I’m trying to paint a cabint that my father made for me for the covered porch. It has a granite top with browns and little black in it.
