Using clean, prepped pipes, spray on a thick base coat of Valspar Manhattan Mist texture
paint. Make sure you coat the pipes well, and pay special attention to the threads and
joints.
Once that's dry, use a wedge cut from a sea sponge to dab on Valspar Cabin Plank paint.
Don't cover the first coat of paint completely, you want a kind of 'mottled' look.
When that dries, go in and sponge on the next coat - Valspar Lincoln Cottage Black. Use
this to cover any spots where the first coat, the texture paint, is still showing.
Mix two parts Valspar Cinnamon Cake paint to one part water, and use a foam brush to
dab the paint around the threaded areas, and along random areas of the pipe, anywhere you
want that 'rusted' effect.
While the paint's still wet, mist the areas with water until the paint runs, dab away
the excess water and let the pipes dry. That's it 'instant' aged iron.
