Once completely dry, use fine sandpaper to distress the details and add a shabby chic element to the furniture.
Wipe off any residue left from sanding using a clean, dry cloth.
Use your second cloth and apply a coat of Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax to seal and protect the painted finish. We recommend applying in small circular motions for even coverage.
