How to get our "Peacock" Color

This beautiful color can be achieved by mixing 1 part Black Indigo and one part Viridian for a color we call "Peacock"

How It's Done

Mix It

Mix 1 Part Black Indigo and 1 Part Viridian chalk furniture paint

Best to use a container large enough for your brush or a paint tray

Paint It

Make sure the surface is squeaky clean

• Pour 1-part denatured alcohol (or rubbing alcohol) and 1-part water into a spray bottle or bowl. Wipe surface down with mixture.

• Patch any divots or holes with Retique It® Mud.

Apply 1 to 3 coats of Ultratique (All-in-one) Paint

• Apply the first coat as a thin layer.

• Apply the second coat thick and smooth finish in long even strokes

• Apply a third coat in any area that is not completely covered.

• Clean your brush between each layer while you allow 2 hours to dry completely. If you are limited on time, then use a blow dryer (Dry time may take as little as 15 minutes with the use of a blow dryer on high heat)

Seal it (Optional)

Why would I add a sealer to an all-in-one paint?

If you are painting a tabletop or other surface that requires increased durability, it is advisable to add more layers of protect. Ultratique is the equivilant of one layer of tripletique.

Apply 1 to 4 thin coats of Tripletique for extra durabiliity

The more thin coats the greater the durability.
