Hello! Question: Now that I have applied the minwax to my coffee table, I can see the spraypaint wasn't applied evenly (hard to do when you have to do it with spraypaint cans!) and now there are spots that are whiter than others. I did not sand the top, perhaps I should've done this to even it out...Anyway, it looks blotchy :( Any thoughts on how I can fix this? Should I apply spray paint over minwax (just the top) and then minwax? I love how the rest looks I just hate the top! Any suggestions?
@brendaduke13 unfortunatley I think you may have to start all over again :-( The minwax will definitely reject new paint if not cleaned well with TSP and then sanded. You could maybe try just cleaning it and sanding it with a 320 grit sandpaper. That might even out your paint job,but it will leave very faint scratches that will catch the minwax and show up in your finish.
@marylissa1011 I think so. I've never used a glaze, but I've used Danish Oil, and Dark English Oil, and they all pretty much give the same results. I would imagine a glaze would too.
If you don't have a detail sander already, get one. My arms, after years of typing 100 wpm can't tolerate the repetitive movement that hand sanding requires. The sander would assist you in your distressing techniques and would cut your time substantially. You have only one set of arms.

Great vid! Question for ya'..Would a stained glaze do the same thing as the minwax? Thanks for posting these!
