The Kallax system was already primed and painted. I applied an additional coat of Behr Dynasty Pink and then took.a small amount of the pink and thinned it down to the same consistency of my paints with zinsser booster. I used it as my flood coat and applied small amounts of layering paint colors then put black and white ca and just moved the paint around. Once dry I then applied a small coat of amazing clear cast resin and got scared! My sides were taped and draped with clear plastic. I didn’t think about flipping the piece over to complete the other side. I was told to wait 72 hours but I waited 7 days! I then received my Gone Bananas color and knew I wanted the other side to be the polar opposite. I was able to first create approximately the same pattern as the other side but went back in with more pink and then added gone bananas. One side is darker and the other Gone Bananas steals the show! I then applied a thin coat of clear cast resin and awaited the 72 hours and killed myself picking it up. As this IKEA Kallax was purchased in 2012 in Nuremberg, Germany I had special memories with it. I knew I wanted to lift it off the ground to be able to put a tote underneath for more storage so I placed 2 16 inch “H” legs on the bottom. I do t know what I was thinking especially since my husband was gone and knew I had to lift it by myself. I still want to do the 8 shelves and the top but time keeps taking me away. Thank goodness I can do it with it standing upright! I have also started applying cherry blossoms on the front top side using a mold and amazing casting resin. With Color in our LIFE anything is possible!
