INSTRUCTIONS
1. Begin by cleaning each glass, ceramic or metal
candlestick with rubbing alcohol to prepare the
surface for paint. Unfinished wood candlesticks
do not require any cleaning.
2. Determine the color placement for each candlestick,
painting as desired, one color per candlestick or for
interest, divide the candlestick into two or more colors.
3. Wrap stencil tape around the candlestick to
divide painted bands of color.
4. For opaque coverage, each candlestick was
painted in multiple applications allowing each one
to thoroughly dry before painting the next coat.
(Photos 1 and 2) Refer to the color photograph for
color placement inspiration.
5. If desired, for added contrast in sheen, paint one
candlestick section with Waverly Inspirations
Chalk – Curry as shown on the largest candlestick.
Allow to dry.
TIPS & TRICKS
• Painting with metallic colors can be a bit tricky
and will show brush marks if you are not
careful. Be sure to paint using smooth strokes,
light pressure and a brush that is NOT
overloaded with paint.
• Achieve hide in color quickly by first
basecoating a surface with a similar non-
metallic color before painting metallic;
ex.: paint Waverly Inspiration Multi-Surface
High Gloss – Elephant before painting
Metallic Silver.
• Waverly Inspirations Multi-Surface Paints
require no varnish or spray finishes.
