Mark my words, five years from now you will hate yourself for these videos. It's embarrasing to watch what you call antiquing furniture. Your prep is inadequate, your methodology is Nenaderthal, and the viewer's attention to your bludgeon effort fades only after a viewing distance of a first down. I know that you do this to flip but you are doing yourself a disservice to call what you do antiquing--to say nothing of your customer.

Hello, I've been watching your videos and was inspired to paint and distress my dining room furniture. I painted the furniture black with a semi gloss latex paint. When I went to sand the furniture to distress it I noticed that it has scraped the paint and dulled the surface in the places where my sandpaper accidentally rubbed. Now it looks almost grey and dull in those areas. Any ideas how I can correct that without repainting?? Should I have used a different kind of paint? Thank you!!

Try rubbing a furniture oil on it. One with a dark stain in it would be good. I like to use Old English for dark woods. That should help the areas that look dull and grey. As far as the scraping look goes, it sounds like the piece was either sanded to soon or the piece wasn't properly prepaired. You might try lightly sanding it with a fine grit sand paper (320 or so) to try and blend and smooth it a little, but if the problem is with the prep this may end up pealing more paint. Hope this helps!
