Just thought my friends in the fridge section would enjoy a thread going on in the 48-56 group called something like 'recreating 'aged' paint. I think of Spurredon's sentiments, and it gives me another guy on my side....

 

Trying to recreate old paint is something like using laminate flooring. You can make it happen quick and often it dosen't really look that bad, but you always know what it is!
