Weathered Wood is a rich gray-brown, clay-based paint with a natural, earthy tone reminiscent of aged wood and tree bark. This highly pigmented DIY Paint creates a soft, velvety matte finish and provides excellent coverage across furniture, décor, and even fabric.

🎨 Key Features:

Beautiful gray-brown "weathered wood" tone
Ultra-high pigment load for strong, lasting color
Smooth, velvety matte finish
Made with only 9 natural ingredients
No VOCs - safe for indoor use
Adheres to wood, metal, plastic, canvas, and fabric
Fabric remains soft and flexible after painting

📦 Sizes & Coverage:

8 oz (Sample): ~35 sq ft (small projects like a chair or side table)
16 oz (Pint): ~75 sq ft (most furniture pieces)
32 oz (Quart): ~150 sq ft (multiple pieces)

🪑 Real-Life Use:
Painting furniture for a natural wood-inspired finish
Creating realistic tree trunks or bark effects for art or décor
Updating cabinets or home décor with a soft, earthy neutral
Painting upholstery or fabric while keeping it soft

Example: A velvet sofa was painted using a 1:4 paint-to-water ratio and required three coats. Six years later, the color remains vibrant and the fabric is still soft—no need for reupholstery.

💧 Application Tips:

"Move the paint with water" for smooth blending
Use a continuous misting bottle to lightly dampen your brush or surface
Dilution options:
Up to 1:10 (paint to water) without losing vibrancy
Many users prefer a 1:1 ratio for everyday use
For fabric (like velvet): approx. 1:4 ratio, applied in multiple coats

🛠️ How to Use:

Clean and dry your surface.
Stir paint (often, minimal stirring is needed).
Apply the first coat.
Allow to dry (15 minutes to a few hours, depending on the climate).
Apply a second coat if needed.
Let cure for 24 hours.
Seal with a DIY Paint finishing product (such as wax or Big Top) to enhance durability and depth.

🌿 Ingredients (9 Total):

Water, clay, porcelain clay, chalk, alcohol, ester (binder), cellulose, pigments, preservative

💡 Helpful Notes:

Paint dries matte and deepens in color when sealed.
Highly pigmented formula allows dilution without losing richness.
Ordering multiple items reduces shipping cost (each additional item adds only $1 shipping).
The sofa shown in listing photos was painted with Gypsy Green.
