Little dabs of colour, Little dabs of paint.
Make an old table.
Look just what it ain’t.
That’s what a touch of colourful enamel does —makes your old furniture look like new.
Enamels are very easy to use, and dry in no time—and you can touch up anything, from the verandah furniture to the kiddies’ toys, with the most attractive colours imaginable.
A quick-drying enamel makes it easy to change the colour scheme of your bedroom or kitchen. An attractive arrangement is to have the curtains, the floor covering, and the general colour scheme match—such as green and cream furniture, and green and cream-checked lino leum and curtains. Vivid splashes of colour can be added by painting the canisters and various kitchen articles crimson, orange, ver milion or any toning shade.
Enamels are better than lacquers and easier to use. Always see that the surface to be painted is clean and free from grease. Ensure that contents of the tin are properly mixed.***
