I painted my vintage kariton white. I used a semi-gloss white enamel.
Giving it some splashes of color would make it pop and happy-looking. Ngayon kasi it looked so gloomy and mukhang anay.
I will sand it and apply a top coat. I want a certain shade of teal but there’s no available exact color so I had it mixed but it was also according to the available swatch.
After applying a top coat, I would sand it again especially the edges to give it aged patina look.
Although the yakal wood’s natural brown color is more organic-looking, the paint would help preserve the wood especially that it’s under extreme elements, init, ulan, bagyo. The top coat of paints hopefully would extend its life for another 100 years.
