purple dove asked:
Is there a paint technique to make wood look like brushed metal? Like a brushed steel or nickel look. I have wooden knobs and pulls that i want to paint to look like a brushed metal. i can’t afford to buy actual brushed metal knobs and pulls so need to find a way to make wood look like that.
Also i already have metal fan blades that are painted bright yellow, i want them to be the same effect of the brushed metal look is there a technique to do this look or a product that i can use to give everything that effect?
Note: i do NOT want them to be shiny, i want that dull brushed look.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe chrome is the word i am looking for instead of nickel.

There are metallic paints you can buy. A good brand is Modern Masters, and it comes in lot of different finishes. It has tiny particles of real metal in it. A paint store would be the place to find the best variety… hardware/home stores don’t have a lot in the way of metallic paint, except for shiny radiator paint.
Please note, I am mentioning this brand because I’ve used it, but there are other good ones.
