Primer always helps! I would use a gray primer, it will be easier to cover, and if you miss a spot in the “misting” process no biggie.

Hildy, Sorry that was a little vague wasn’t it !? You are right, you don’t need to use stain seeing as the metal will not absorb it the way porous wood, would. I would just use the technique of layering/misting different spray paints to achieve that worn and weathered look! Good question, I will make sure to go back and clear that up! Thanks so much for following and “addicting” is totally what I am going for! Thanks so much!

I love all your projects but this time I’m trying to do the Pottery Barn Lamp Spotlight and came to this post to get more details on the finish you used and I have a question, what kind of stain did you use ? Would you use the same for the Spotlight giving that here you were working with wood and there is a different surface ? Thank you !

I would recommend using lath. When I made this, the kids were napping so I just cut strips of paneling, instead of waiting for a trip to the store. Haha.

I can’t tell exactly what you outlined the letters in – are those shims? Lath? The name of your blog is perfect btw 🙂

Thanks so much Mindi! I was pleasantly surprised when it actually turned out. Haha.
