I was excited when I found this vintage alarm clock in storage, and it still works despite the fact that it is at least from the 1970's! I loved the brass look but then again I had to ask myself if it would go with anything I have in my house....and it didn't... It took me a while to decide what color to paint it and I ended up going with Aquamarine and used my left over Valspar Antiquing Glaze, of course. One day when I can afford new paint colors I won't keep painting things blue ;) So here is the before... Here is the paint I used.... Here are the paint brushes I used....
Basically I cleaned the clock, added 2 coats of primer, let dry, then added about 2 coats of aquamarine, then once I let all of that dry I added my antiquing glaze. Here is a better view of the glaze. Now it's done!
The look of a $20- $50 working alarm clock for the price of basically nothing since the clock was free and I used all left over materials from my other projects!
