Rustoleum Chalked Aged Glaze Spray Paint – So a few weeks ago, I was looking for random things on Amazon, as I do most of my Friday nights, when I first came across Rust-Oleum Aged Glaze. I think it’s actually been out for a while now, but somehow I’ve never seen it. Apparently I’ve been living under a rock or something, I don’t know. But I was very interested in trying, so I immediately ordered a can and just used it on an old wooden chair. I was very intrigued by this gloss and thought that some of my critical friends in the group would also be interested in knowing about it. So today I’m sharing a little tutorial / tutorial with you lovely people.
The purpose of this glaze is to give any chalk painted piece an antique/vintage look. Apparently it works on a variety of surfaces and there’s even a Smoked Glaze option. The instructions say to apply it and then wipe it off with a clean cloth. Sounds easy, right?

I started with this vintage chair that I recently found for just a few kroner. I painted it with two coats of Magnolia Home Chalk Paint white and let it sit overnight to let the paint harden. I then sanded down the ends and legs with low grit sandpaper. This is what the chair looked like before glazing:

I just used an old paint brush to put the glitter on this chair. I work in sections and it seems to go very quickly. This gloss actually reminds me a lot of using a stain, but just a thicker version. The consistency is not as watery as stain, but not as thick as paint either.
I was a little nervous at this point because I thought the glitter would make the chair too dark, but I wiped the rest off with an old dishcloth and it had a great shine.
It’s very good, isn’t it? I have to say I am very impressed with this. It reminds me of using a wax product like Annie Sloan Black Wax, but easier to work with. And since it is not as heavy as wax, it is easier to move even to cover it. It’s also translucent, which is great because it doesn’t darken the color of my chair. And a little goes a long way. When I finished it, I realized I needed a bit more gloss to get the look I was going for.
I can’t believe I haven’t tried this antique glaze before. Do you have it?? This is definitely something I keep in my paint closet and always reach for. I love how easy it is to use and I think the chair looks great now. The wood definitely has an antique, weathered finish and I like that it is not dark, which is usually the case when I use any type of dark wax. I also got even coverage without patches. The only thing I don’t like at all is that the chair looks a little yellow after the ice cream dries for a few hours. It’s just a slight yellow tint, so nothing really noticeable. But overall, this thing gets an A from me.
