Winter Challenge 2024 - Flat Iron Corner Building - Tom Langford.

After gluing it to the top of the wall, I stained it with the A&I and let it thoroughly dry overnight.

Not stained in the next photo.



Back in a few, Diet Pepsi time.

I chose a base wall color of Floquil Depot Buff.

I wanted a very thin wash so the A&I would also show through the paint. I dipped a soft bristle brush into thinner and then only the tip of the brush into the paint.



I brushed this on the wall following the horizontal cut of the wall boards.

While the paint was still wet, I used a paper towel and wiped any wet paint from the wall.

This thinned the wall paint a little more.



Referring to the photo above, you can see a very slight difference in the wall color on the bottom as opposed to the top where the paint was wiped off.

Here is how the walls look after the paint dried overnight.



This next view shows the other two walls without the LED light.



Done for today.

Tom,

Walls are coming along nicely, they got that grungy "I haven't been painted in decades" look, I like it.

Rich,

Thank you for the compliment. The Floquil Depot Buff wash over the Light Gray A&I turned out very well.

Ron,

The walls are grungy for sure, just the way I like them. However, I'm not done with them yet. I have a few more tricks.
