Hi Tanya, it will really depend on what kind of finish is on the piece currently. Do you have any idea what it is finished with or can you attach a couple of pictures? I'm happy to help.
Hi Kathleen, typically you would want to give the leather a good cleaning and a sanding with some gritty sand paper. After that the Annie Sloan should stick to the leather.
@@kathleenbrown6734 Hi Kathleen, any painted leather will have a texture to it and may crack over time. The wax will help it stay soft but just the nature of paint will make it crunchier sadly.
I haven't found a roller yet that didn't leave stipple marks which can be just as annoying to some people as brush marks. If there is one out there, hopefully I'll come across it.
Extremely helpful video, thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Marya, I am so glad it was helpful!
This video was very helpful to me also! Thanks for taking the
time to post.

This is the very best explanation of this I have seen. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I'm so glad it was helpful!
so helpful. I want to do a marble effect on a countertop and I realized the texture of my paint was too "rustic" to look like marble
I'm so glad it helped. Yes, for a marble look you definitely want something super smooth and even a bit of a shine looks good too. have fun!
I would also use a 'tack' cloth after sanding (on any paint), to remove dust and bits etc. Little used these days, but oh what a difference they make.
Thanks, that was helpful!
I'm so glad it helped! Have fun painting!

Hi Lisa, I bought a custom piece but really want to make it shinier. Would commercial polish help?

You are most welcome!
or.... just use a roller no brush at all.
