Hi - I currently have medium stained wood cabinets and would like to paint them a cream/ivory and have some of the wood show through for a distressed look. I have read the other "Ideal Cabinet Repaint" so my question is can I skip the primer step if I want the dark to bleed thru a bit? I would still sand and take other steps ... what is the best way to get the distressed look I want?
Thanks,
Toshia

hi
simply lightly sand your cabinet and have the primer mix the shade of blue you need and then apply tour paint over when done and sand some spots to reveale the blue under
