Painted finish and Duco finish go hand-in-hand, except that painted finish are less labour intensive. There are quite a variety of paint finishes to choose from when you consider this option. A smooth painted finish can be achieved from spraying the water based paint onto the furniture piece or panel. A hand painted technique can be created from painting the panel with a paint brush, which gives you more of a “rough look” This technique will also ensure that no door or panel will look the same, but have the same formality throughout the room. Lastly, we have the paint technique that is mostly done on hand crafted furniture, the distressed look. This is also done free-handed with a paint brush and cloth to ensure that your new piece of furniture gets an old worn-off look. The distressed look is normally done on a piece of furniture that you would like to create a focal point with or draw attention to.
