Paints. I am going blue! however you may opt for a different scheme, You will want a Deep tone, a Med-Light tone and possibly a lighter tone (I used the lighter tone for highlighting although you can likely mix white with either color to create your own highlighter) and likely black or a very deep grey for the antiquing color wash.

Hardware Tip

I typically don’t like my hardware to look one dimensional. So when there’s an opportunity to take advantage of the antiqued crevices i usually do. For this hardware I chose to use flexible sandpaper to remove the patina from the high points. Then to clean and shine I took a brush and worked in some furniture salve. I then buffed that away with a soft cloth.
