Here are pictures of my recliner also purchased at the same time as the sofa from lazboy.

As you can see it is also of the same quality.

Let me know what additional products I will need and if I can use any of the products I will be purchasing for the sofa on the recliner.

As soon as you advise me I will authorize an order to be shipped.

Thanks for you patience.

Pictures show the loss of the secondary color (antiquing).

These are the recommended steps:

A: Prep Cleaning:

1. To removed oil and grease - use d’Ink7.7™ (weaken secondary colors may also be removed).

2. To remove sticky residue - use clean3.8™.

3. To acidify rinse - use rinse3.0™.

B: Refinishing:

4. To ensure “bite” - use 1000 to 1500 grit sandpaper.

5. To ensure good adhesion - use adhesion73™.

6. To recreate secondary color antique effect - use antiqueColor24™.
(Colors come in Old English: Black-212, Burgundy-211, Chestnut-221 and Tan-201).

7. To control flow when airbrushing vertical panel - use thickener48™.

8. To protect the secondary color - use pigTop56M™ for matte or pigTop56G™ for gloss or a satin mix in between.

9. To impart a non-stick buttery feel with the classic leather scent - use leatherScent’B™.

Post your questions and we shall discuss!

How is best to apply the antiqueColor24 for two-tone effect.

In the past you mentioned using cheesecloth.

Is that still the prefered method...I've never tried it before.

It would be better to use an airbrush that has a “double action” feature with better control to recreate the traditional chesterfield antiquing work.

But this recliner above seems to have double antique color in a random fashion, so perhaps we can work with two “double action” airbrush with two closest colors on both hands at the same time.

Just like the Hollywood Wild Wild West - featuring drawing two revolvers and shooting at the same target that trills.

Well, we need creativity and imagination when doing this fun work!

Your choice, what do you think?

Note:
DOUBLE ACTION AIRBRUSH
Refers to the method action required to control spray pattern. Pressing down on the button activates the amount of air flow and pulling back determines the amount of fluid released. This allows the user to change the width of line, color, and the opaqueness of color with one hand. Double Action models take more practice to use but are better for free hand detail work.

SINGLE ACTION AIRBRUSH
Unlike the double action where air and fluid controls are combined, these same controls are independent of each other with the single action airbrush. While one hand is releasing a pre-set amount of air by pressing down on the button, the other hand adjusts a separate control for color feed. Single action models are quick to learn and easy to use. They tend to be best for spraying solid coats, uniform lines or dots and stencil work. They clog less easily than the double action internal mix models and can spray slightly heavier paints.
