<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 4297089, member: 13605"]I Refinished a chest very similar in color as yours. the top needed sanding because of the splinters. The paint was already worn off. When I got done the paintless top and bottom looked funny to me so I mixed up some acrylic paints to match in color, watered it down, wiped it on and then quickly wiped it off with a cloth. It left just enough green paint to make it blend with the bottom half. I then put on 3 coats of polyurethane. I did the same to the top of the antique doll house that I had stripped of the 10 coats of white paint which took off most of the original green. I practiced a lot on boards till I knew what I was doing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
