DIY paint doesn't require primer. Just a simple cleaning of the wood to get rid of dust oils, then just paint over it. I can't wait to start my dresser and end table. You did a beautiful job🥰💜
I absolutely love DIY paint too! I feel strongly that all paints require a primer/and or Shellac along with prep work if you don’t want adhesion issues down the road or the dreaded bleed thru/wood tannins coming to the surface. Thank you for liking this piece! I’m actually delivering it today!
I been using this paint for several years and I always have a spray bottle of water to mist it as I paint! You don't have to worry about the paint color changing because it's so pigmented. You can also use a wet rag to wipe back all the layers. No messy dry sanding. It's great paint ant it goes a long way. Ty for the video!
I love DIY paint and Deb is an awesome lady. The cabinet turned out great. Biscuit has made me want to subscribe to your channel. He looks like my little peanut who passed away last year and it just makes me so happy to see that beautiful dog and you did a great job on the cabinet too. Thank you.
Her paint is amazing! I love being able to easily blend her paint colors. She has some really pretty shades. Awe that’s bittersweet that Biscuit reminds you of your little peanut. I just uploaded a video 10 minutes ago and Biscuit comes on at the end if you want to see him again. He’s looks like ET all bundled in a blanket. It’s cold here in New Hampshire.
I k ow you thoroughly explained prepping but just so you're aware DIY really is different in that because of the clay it sticks to pretty much anything and doesn't require sanding, which also helps eliminate the chance of bleed through. Plus DIY has better coverage (because of the clay and the intense pigmentation) than the majority of paints out there so its even less likely to have those issues, especially when blending and layering colors. Plus it reconstitutes with water so blending and wet distressing is a breeze!
I do love DIY paint, love how pigmented their paint is but no paint marketed can say they don't require sanding and prepping. I've been refinishing furniture for over 10 years and prepping is the way to go no matter the paint line. I recently painted a vintage hutch with their white paint and decided not to prep (well I couldn't really prep because the piece was in a store where I would be selling it and there isn't a proper area to sand) I immediately had bleed through. I had to quickly switch gears and pick a darker color that wouldn't show bleed through. I didn't even sand the hutch. Again I love DIY paint but it's best to properly prep every piece for maximum adhesion and no bleed through issues. Thank you for watching and commenting.
That is just gorgeous! I love the colors that you used. You made it look so simple - which I’m sure it won’t be for me. Lol thank you for all the tips.
Thank you so much! This is one of my favorite colors. Oh I have my moments for sure where there's always a rough patch with a refinishing project. I've come to expect an OH OH moment with every project, it's part of the journey.
Hi Madeline, thank you for this video. I am just curious as to why you didn't use a wet rag to "distress" this DIY paint? It's healthier for you because you are not sanding it and it should work the same because DIY paint is water activated, i.e., it comes back to life. Have you tried it? Thank you.
Thanks for watching! I have tried wet sanding. It's just not my thing. I find I go through tons of rags and I don't have the control I like when I distress the way I do.
So sorry that you got Covid and will be Praying that you get your smell and taste back soon!! My brother, and 2 other very close friends passed away from Covid last year 😟😓😭 I just found your channel and just a beginner at doing any painting so just starting with crafts and wood signs for now and hope to get into refinishing furniture one day. I have learned so much from you already. Thanks 🙂take care and God Bless💛
I am so sorry to read about your losses. That's a very rough last year. My heart goes out to you. I still have some minor lingering Covid issues but all in all very thankful to be back doing what I love. Thank you for watching my tutorials and I'm glad they are providing you with good information. It's always nice to hear from viewers.
Great job on this video you look really tomboyish in those overalls! Not afraid to get some dirtiness and stinkyness on you! 😄 keep up the good work with your videos! 😁
@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074 Too bad you didn’t just paint the back without primer and then you would know for sure if you ever needed to use primer again
@@Melody-285 Each piece of furniture is different when it comes to prepping. The type of wood, the type of finish they used, the type of cleaners they used. Many of these old pieces have a build up of old polishes and waxes. I always, always prep. First I clean with a degreaser. Then I sand most of the old finish off. Then I shellac two coats.
@@dclark432 @ D. Clarke hi there, thank you for replying. My husband is Blake, I am Jolene. We use his acct for our UA-cam stuff :-) Anyhow, I finally pulled out my DIY paints and have been trying to finish a piece, however when I went to top coat the Old School (Charcoal gray), only half of (dry) paint turned back to its original color. So after my top coat dried I was literally looking at a completely dried finish but it was half dark original color and the other half stayed the ultra matte clay version of itself when it dries. So strange. Any ideas?
@@blakepascoe5471 I really hope youll watch , not my videos because that would be obnoxious, but any of @the turquoise iris’s videos showing the detailed process of applying this paint or Debi’s of course!

I loved your Vlog. So fun and the piece turned out beautiful. I love love little Biscuit and his brother, thank you for including them.
Thank you so much! Biscuit and Bacon are family to us. Glad you enjoyed them popping up to say hello!
Yep, prep and prime, me too, I like my chosen color to pop, not bleed. I am debating on this paint?
That is just gorgeous! I love the colors that you used. You made it look so simple - which I’m sure it won’t be for me. Lol thank you for all the tips.

Why oh why do guys leave comments like this? They are creepy just so you are aware. Good lord.
You need a ponytail.
Thank you for liking my hair.
Biscuit!
The real stars of the video.
I thought you are 30 years old, i can't believe you have grown teenagers :D
Oh you are too kind! 47 here. My son is 19.5 and next month my daughter turns 12. *gulp
I don’t know anyone that primes with that paint.
Well I do and I've never had an issue with adhesion or bleed through.

Not a fan of this paint. Went back to acrylics.
That's too bad. I've had great success working with this paint.
I’ve had a difficult time with it as well. I have a lot of it because I love Debi! I’m going to keep trying. Beautiful colors!
