I’m so glad I found you. Others dry me crazy adjusting the camera or wasting time on other things. Thank you - keep them coming. Dixie Belle is great Paint.
Thank you so much! We are so excited you love the piece!
So agree, some of the other "ambassadors" appear silly and waste time.
As always, I love watching you making a plain Jane piece of furniture into something stunning. I was also glad to see how you got rid of the streaks with the Gator Hide. I have problems with streaking and now glad to see how to fix that problem. Keep you the great work !!
Thank you Gloria :) I'm happy this video was helpful.. Hope you have a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving .... HUGS :)
We're glad this could be a great resource for you and to help you with problems you might have had!
Love AJ's, she is so great...thank you!
Thank you Christine :) I'm so happy you liked the tutorial, it was a fun one to do and I tried to cover all the topics that come up regarding painting with whites and trouble shooting top coats. Thanks again for watching and I look forward to uploaded more videos soon. HUGS :)
We love her work! She does an amazing job with every project she tackles!
This just came on this morning! Great white tutorial!
Glad you liked it!
Great job of explaining the process, your work is wonderful.
Thank you :) I'm glad you enjoyed this tutorial. Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you have wonderful day !! HUGS :)
She does a really good job going into detail about every step! We really enjoy having her on our page!
Thanks for the excellent teaching! I wish I knew about the Boss before I had to paint my vintage vanity four times.
Thank you so much for watching! BOSS is so helpful when it comes to painting projects. We hope you'll try it out soon!
Hi Amy your an amazing teacher! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and talent when teaching us
We are so happy to hear you love the piece! Thanks so much for watching!
You are my most favorite to watch as you tell exactly what and how you take a piece from plain to a completely new beautiful price of furniture that I have found many sitting on the street with a sign stating take me before I get taken to the dump! I always think about those I didn’t see that I would have loved and it literally hurts my heart to think of what ended up there that I would have loved to give it a new life! Thank you for your simple way of explaining everything you do so we can easily understand! God bless you and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas, God bless you always!
We are so thankful to have Amy as part of the Dixie Belle Paint family. Thanks for sharing such kind words!
Excellent Video Amy Just what I needed. You explain everything and show us all the tips and tricks for making old stuff new again. 🎨🖌🌞💜
Thank you so much for watching! We are so excited to hear you love the video and found it helpful!
This was an excellent video on how to use each of these products, especially the Gator Hide. We sell it, but so far I’ve only used it mixing in another additive like caviar over a black finish. I’ve heard it’s got a steep learning curve. I feel much more confident now.
We are so excited to hear you found the video helpful! We couple other videos that are based on Gator Hide that may be great tutorials to check out. Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you Amy for your reply. I will give it a try!
Thanks so much for watching and showing love!
Gorgeous Thankyou. Great tutorial as usual. 🥰

Dixie Belle Paint is easy peasy :) Thanks for watching Kathryn!
Excellent tutorial. The sock tip is so smart to use the blue sponge and extend the usage. Wow! Who knew socks and t- shirts are being recycled. I’m definitely doing.

Great tutorial! I love all of them! What are the bottles you use to put your paint in? Thank you! Blessings Jill
Thank you so much for stopping by! We are so happy you love the channel!
This is an awesome video. I love all your tips and tricks!! Where do you get the bottles you were using for your paints and finishes?
Thanks so much Jolene! You can find the spray misting bottles on the Dixie Belle Paint website! :)
Dixie Belle Paint.
I would love to know what the squeeze bottles are called and where you got them, but you don't seem to want to answer lol!
Hi Amy, great tutorial! Your piece looks great. I tried using the blue sponge technique using Gator Hide and applying it over white paint. It did leave a lot of stroke marks. I'm thinking my sponge was to wet and i over worked the GH. I wanted to share what I did to see if you could help me figure out what I did wrong.
1. I put my faucet on in my sink and wet my blue sponge. I squeezed all the water out of my sponge until I could not squeeze any more water out of it.
2. I put the flat side of the sponge in the GH and scraped off some of the GH.
3. I then went in a back and forth motion over the flat painted surface of my end table.
4. I let the piece dry, lightly sanded the piece and reapplied another layer of GH and still saw sponge strokes. 😞. However, I did leave the sponge sitting in the empty Tupperware container with a lid on it and did not wash it when I reapplied the GH.
Can you possibly tell me were I may have gone wrong and why I got the sponge strokes? I look forward to your feed back. 😁
Hi Stacey! When using Gator Hide, allow your finished piece to completely dry. Apply very thin coats of Gator Hide in one direction only. Don't back brush when you apply the thin coats and less is more. Let it dry and after 2 hours, then re-apply. Let it dry 2 hours again and repeat this up to 3 thin layers to get the water repellent finish. We recommend using our blue sponge and keeping it dry. A 48-hour dry time recommended. Hope this helps!
@@DixieBellePaint Thank you for your feedback. :)
What did you say you used on your hardware? I love your videos, the way you explain things is so awesome.
She really does give you all the details you need to know for a project!
I'll be using pale pink!
Oh wow! That's going to look awesome! Soft Pink is a great color!
Do you mist the brush during application of the chalk paint, or just the beginning?
Hi Beth! You can start by misting your brush before painting. As you continue painting if you notice that the paint or brush is dragging, you can always mist the brush again. Hope this helps!
Is this white like a linen color? I need a white with a bit of cream/ beige in it. Not yellow.
And can I do this exact steps for my kitchen cabinets? Thanks
Hi there! If you go to our website, all the whites and similar shades are shown on there as well as recipes to create other colors! We hope this helps and happy painting!
I want to do a similar look on my table. The problem I have is there is gouges and scratches on the table top. I bought some Dixie Belle Mud. Can I fill these and sand the top and still use the Expresso Dixie Belle No Pain Gel Stain and get the same look?
Hey there Ingrid! You can absolutely use Dixie Mud, sand to a even finish and stain! We hope this helps and happy painting!
Hi there. Love the video. Did you have to sand the furniture down 1st? Or can I just paint over the piece?
You do not have to sand before using DBP but you should always clean with White Lightning before painting.
Do we need to use the boss first with every project we do or can we just use the chalk paint and then decoupage?
No, you don't need BOSS for every piece! Boss is for Blocking Odors, Stains and bleedthroughs
The top is beautiful and no doubt a tough finish w/gator hide.
Thanks for watching Katherine!
If the top of your bedside tables/dresser are shiny do you lightly sand the top before putting the gel stain on? Thanks
Hi, yes, we would recommend sanding if something is previously on there making it shiny!
Is it a good idea to use gator hide on kitchen cabinet? Thanks!!!
Hi there! Yes, absolutely! Many people have sealed their kitchen cabinets with Gator Hide for extra durability! We hope this helps and happy painting :)
Great piece! Is the top ok to set drinks on?
Yes, absolutely. Gator Hide is designed for high traffic areas such as stairs and it is water repellent which makes it perfect for wet areas.
Can you use gator hide on a finished store bought piece? It looks like the table has a top coat finish… I’m a beginner 😊
Yes you can Vickie!
Can I use the walnut or white gel stain over a green factory finish or will I be able to see the green thru the stain?
Hey Stephanie, here is a video AJ shared about No Pain Gel Stain over a factory finish! ua-cam.com/video/ew2D_Dm1obo/v-deo.html We hope this helps and happy painting!
I tried no pain gel stain for first time and let it dry. afterwards there is a lot of dust, rough areas. Can I lightly sand with a sponge before applying top coat or will that ruin the finish and I have to apply another layer of gel stain?
You can lightly sand the finish before applying top coat, if you are heavy-handed there is a chance that you may remove some of the stain and have to touch it up.
Hi Amy, thank you for some great videos. I was introduced to NPGS by Christina Mercari. I have an antique oak dining table that I used the Picklin White gel stain. I have applied 4-5 coats, I lost count. It is not covering the wood( was prepped really well before stain). I thought with several coats it would be a more solid color. I have decided to switch to paint. Can I use the DB chalk paint and what type of finish would I use? I don't really want to invest a lot more time or money on this table. Thank you!
Hi there! You can paint over your table with Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint, yes! We recommend to seal with Clear Coat! Dixie Belle offers 3 finishes of Clear Coat; Gloss, Satin and Flat. These are the 3 unique finishes you can choose from. We hope this helps and happy painting :)
If I’ve already used top coats on my table top could I go over it with gator hide. I’m afraid the top coat won’t be good enough for protection
Hi Donna! Yes, you can apply thin coats o Gator Hide over Clear Coat! We hopew this helps and happy painting!
@@DixieBellePaint thank you for the info
Where do you get he blue sponges?
Hi Tammie! You can purchase one of our fabulous blue sponges here: dixiebellepaint.com/new-improved-blue-sponge/
Do you have to do a top coat over silk paint?
Hey there Hannah! No, you do not need to top coat! Silk Mineral paint has a built in primer and top coat :)
With so many coats of paint, boss, etc, do your drawers tend to stick?
Hi there! Great question. You'll want to allow the products to fully cure on the piece to avoid any sticking or similar issues.
I orderedrusty nail paint and rhey sent me barn red. Wrong color. Whst do i do to send it back?
Hey Marjean! Please give our office a call at 813-909-1962 and they should be able to assist you! ❤
Do you sand between coats?
Great question! There is no need to sand between coats with Dixie Belle Paint products.
What the difference between this stain and the voodoo stain, besides one is oil based and one is water based? How do I decide which to use? Can both be used on finished wood?
Besides the difference in the base materials, we have a different variety of colors for the Voodoo and No Pain Gel Stains.
Where can I buy Dixie belle in British Columbia Canada
Hi there! If you go to our website there is a "find a local retailer" tab. From here you can enter your postal code and then it will provide you with your closet local retailer. We recommend reaching out and seeing if they can ship, if need be! Hope this helps and happy painting :)
I read on gatorhide label “if inhaled move person to fresh air.” Should I open windows or wear a mask?
Hey Jessica! We recommend using it in a well ventilated area. I hope this helps!
Did you sand your top first ?
Hi Carole, it is not required to sand prior to using Dixie Belle products! She may have sanded parts of the sides to get the extra paint off. The only time we really recommend sanding is if you have deeper scratches on your furniture's surface. Hope that helps!
Dixie Belle Paint Company , Thanks for answering ❤️
@@carolemiller7489 You're so welcome!
Is gel stain food safe?
Hey Lydia! None of our stains are food safe but we have Howdy Do Hemp Oil and that is food safe if you seal it properly. I hope this helps!
@@DixieBellePaint yes that helps where can I get it?

How often to you spray your brush with water?
It's really only necessary to spray your brush when you start to feel it drag the paint while you're painting. You don't want it to be too wet! Just slightly damp enough to help move the paint around on your surface.
