Sea Spray
This is the Best Chalky Paint Additive to Create a Chippy, Textured, Weathered, Sun-Kissed Look!
- Mix 2 level scoops of Sea Spray with 8 oz. of Dixie Belle Paint. Mix another ½ scoop, if needed. You want a thick, brownie batter-like consistency. If using larger amounts of paint, add scoops a couple at a time and stir.
- Using a paintbrush, dab and smoosh the bristles to form crests and peaks, like ocean waves!
- Once tacky, gently brush down the crests and peaks, calming the seas and creating texture. You can also leave it as is, keeping the seas stormy!
- For more dimension, when dry, simply add another paint color (with or without Sea Spray) or glaze of your choice, then sand! Easy Peasy!
Now you have a beautiful piece that looks like it’s been around for ages! We encourage you to use your imagination!! Just like a day at the beach, there's no wrong or right way to use Sea Spray.
Glazes
This is where the fun really begins! Want to add depth and dimension to a flat piece? Dixie Belle Glaze finishes do just that!
- Give the Clear Coat a couple of hours to dry (or you can glaze first and then Clear coat).
- Be sure the glaze is mixed really well.
- Working in sections, make use of a sponge brush or chip brush and begin applying the glaze to your liking.
- If you’re working with a piece with many nooks and crannies, work the glaze in to make those details pop.
- If you would like less glaze, simply wipe off with a damp rag or paper towel.
Dry time: 15 minutes - Cure time: 21-30 days

Dixie Belle Paint is very thick and a little goes a long way. The longer the lid stays off, the thicker it will get. If you'd like it thinner, no worries, just add a little water and stir. Add too much water? No worries, just leave the lid off and it will thicken up. Whatever consistency you desire, Dixie Belle Paint will work for you!
Distress a little too much for your taste? That's okay! Just paint right over that area and start again!
Most pieces will take 1 to 2 coats for full coverage. Occasionally, after the first coat dries, it’ll look blotchy. Do not freak out! It’ll be beautiful after the second coat!
Sometimes you will see brushstrokes, don't worry, as the paint dries, they will disappear. Dixie Belle Paint is the best paint for self leveling.
