Our Finishing Technique. We do not intend to fully cover the natural texture of the wood we use. We instead wish to incorporate the wood grain and texture in our finishes to create a visual and textural experience. Some of our colors will also allow some of the natural wood character to show through more than other colors. Fire Truck Red specifically will allow the most natural wood color to come through. If you wish to have the natural wood hidden as much as possible, please let us know and we will take extra steps to accommodate your order. All items will be completed in our Distressed Satin finish unless otherwise stated on your purchase order and on our confirmation.
Finishes: Distressed or Non-distressed. Distressing is our finishing technique where each piece is painted and lightly sanded to let the natural wood show through. Non-distressing does not have this finish.
Our finishing process consists of 3 layers of HAPS Free Water Based paint. Some colors also receive a layer of HAPS Free Water Based primer. We then apply 2 layers of a water-based clear urethane.
---Relics standard 3 Collections including Beadboard, Lily Rae and Wonderland, all receive a Satin Clear coat and can have our Standard Distress or Light Distress.
---Our Paintbox Collections, including Midtown, Paintbox, Key West, and all Cribs can be done in a Non Distressed Semi Gloss, or in a Distressed Satin.
***Distressed and Non Distressed Options. See Below.***
We offer several colors and all items are available in all colors. We have both our Relics Standard colors & our Wonderland colors that are unique to Relics Furniture. All our colors can be applied to any of our items. We also offer ANY Benjamin Moore paint color for an additional 10% per item, $60 Minimum per color, per order. If you are selecting this option, a Benjamin Moore color number or name must be provided.
We always strive for complete customer satisfaction and color selection is a dramatically important decision. If you are not familiar with our colors, please request any color sample prior to placing your order. Every order is painted just for you, so NOW is the time to be informed and selective. We have a sample color board with all of our colors available for $60 or individual color wood chip samples are $2.00 includes postage.
Please note our policy regarding standard and custom colors: "If a customer does not request and purchase a sample, the color they receive, as long as Relics has used our standard paint, or the paint the customer has requested; the items they have received are assumed to be accurate and now the property and responsibility of the customer."
