    How to paint a dresser to look antique
    Hi,my question is how to paint a piece of furniture to look old; I know about the two different layers of paint, but I'm not sure when and how to remove one coat of paint and which one should be first (I would like to look like old french furniture )
    Thanks, Ninocica

    Ralph Lauren has a product called crackle. It is a two step process. First prime your dresser then paint it- lets say white let it dry and apply the crackle. It will put small cracks in the paint making it appear old
