Simple is as simple does and you cant get much more simple than this little antique "galvanized" bathtub.
I used a bottle of Dawn and just cut along the natural curve of the bottle. After that it was only painting. And speaking of painting... when I am cleaning up my mess after a project like this, it is amazing how many different bottles of paint I use! To get this look I had four shades of gray, white, black, gunmetal with a shimmer and silver with a shimmer, and also brown and another brown for the wash. That's nine bottles of paint to get the look I wanted. lol! Well the mess was worth it. Have a wonderful day!
I painted on a coat of Mod Podge and let it dry before painting the tub.
This is a layer of chalk paint.
Very fine!
