Dark wax used directly on the graphite looks amazing but not quite the Pottery Barn black so many ppl like. When I want a rich midnight black I simply added some jet black craft paint to my graphite, it still preforms the same way.<br />Keep up the good work,<br />Kristy @ 4 the love of WOODdriftwoodesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642227904703584734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395194761759175581.post-68107937046671551822013-05-03T18:39:57.489-07:002013-05-03T18:39:57.489-07:00Hi Beth,

Since it's a dark color, the dark wax won't be so dramatic as it would on a light color. I think you will like the effect. I have used the dark wax on the Graphite. It gives it a beautiful rich tone. Have you tried making your own black chalk paint??? I've used it quite a bit. I've never had any issues. I'm using Glidden "onyx" on a huge dining room set. <br />I think I have a couple of pics of it under "In the Wings" if you want to take a look.

Have you had a...Hi June,<br />Thanks for your thoughts!<br /><br />Have you had a chance to use the dark wax directly on the Graphite? Does it buffet out okay? I really want to try it because I like the look of a darker black..more along the lines of a Pottery Barn black. <br />Stay tuned...maybe you'll see a project where I tried it. If so, the shout out will go to you! :)<br /><br /> RPK Interiorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05882877939582723737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395194761759175581.post-54343373976581045492013-05-03T12:31:23.673-07:002013-05-03T12:31:23.673-07:00Thanks, Teri!
