No Sanding!

Just PREP it! Spray The Prep onto your project and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Use a scrubby pad to get it good and clean, then simply wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth. No rinsing necessary.

Let's Paint

Choose your favorite of our 54 all-in-one resin paint colors & get ready to transform your piece. No fancy brushes needed. Simply apply your first coat - not too thick - smoothing from end to end with long smooth strokes. Most projects will have full coverage with two coats plus touch-ups.

Personalize It

Once the paint is dry, you can stop and enjoy that buttery smooth finish or....you can personalize it. There's no right or wrong choice - just do what makes you happy! Here are some of my favorites...

Distress It
Use 80-120 grit sandpaper to add some character to your piece. Highlight the details and accent the curves - this part is so fun and if you ever feel like you went overboard with sanding, just brush on a little more paint!
Glaze It
Select one of the 3 glaze colors or mix your own custom shade with Tintable Glaze. Brush the glaze into the details and wipe back with a damp cloth. So creative!

Seal It
Have a high traffic surface like kitchen cabinets or table top? Add some extra durability with Tuff Top protectant. This polycrylic sealer is simple to use and comes in 4 sheens!
