For Best Results

• Ensure surface is clean and dry, use a wire brush to smooth any surface rust on metal surfaces.

• Metal surfaces, especially those used outdoors, should be primed with an appropriate primer based on the type of metal being painted.

• Thoroughly mix the Franciscan Brown.

• Apply two coats of Franciscan Brown with a paint brush, allowing four hours of drying time after each coat.

• After the 2^nd coat of Franciscan Brown has completed its drying time, thoroughly mix the Verde Patina.

• Dampen a Sponge Brush in water and squeeze off the excess water.

• Lightly dip the Sponge Brush in the Verde Patina. (Remember: A little Verde Patina goes a long way!)

• Apply the Verde Patina to your surface (cover a small area at a time so that it does not begin to dry).

• Prior to drying, dab and/or wipe the Verde Patina with a soft clean cloth to achieve the desired patina effect.

• Allow the Verde Patina to dry for four hours and ENJOY your results!!
