Antique Peel Off Paint 2, Peel Off Finish with NC System
Antique peel-off finish is one of the antique finishes on wood furniture. This finish displays the effect of the “peeled off paint” in several places so that it shows an old and damaged impression. In the previous article, we have shared about the antique peel-off technique using latex paint (wall paint); see our previous article: Peel-off finish with latex paint. In this post, we share about the peel-off finishing technique with NC full system paint. In this finishing, all finishing processes are carried out with NC finishing materials, the best material to do the antique finish. (To learn more about NC paint, please visit our previous article at: NC finishing )
The main idea of the peel-off paint is the application of "ressist materials" before the paint application. The resist material will block the paint layer, make it unable to stick to the surface, and create the peel-off effect.
There are several materials that can be used as the "ressist," such as gel soap, vaseline (petrolium jelly), candle wax, or other materials that are not dissolved with paint. This material is applied to the desired parts or the surface to block the paint or coating that will be applied to it. When the paint is applied on the surface, it cannot stick to the surface, and then with a little sanding or rubbing, the paint will come off and create the peeled-off paint effect.
The finishing process, step by step
- Stain application
The stain application is purposed to color the wood base; in this finish we used a brown stain. With the brown stain, you will get the brown wood color as the underneath color that will be shown at the peel-off parts. The stain application also makes the final color more uniform and less affected by the variations in the wood base color. This stain application can be omitted if you want the natural wood color to appear on the peeled paint.
In this panel, a brown stain was applied by sprayed evenly onto the wood surface.

- Sealer application
A sealer layer is needed to protect the stain so that it is not removed by the next finishing process. The sealer layer is also needed to produce a smooth surface and provide a film built to the finish.
The sealer is applied by wet coat spray and evenly layered over the entire surface. Wait until the sealer layer is dry, then sand it to cut off the wood fibers and produce a smooth surface.

- The peel-off effect
It is the process of peeled-off creation. Apply the ressit material (gel soap, candle wax, or petroleum jelly) to certain parts where you want the peel-off to be located. You can use a small brush, rag, paper, small stick, or even a finger to apply the ressist material. Make sure you put it in the right places with the right technique to produce a good antic (peel-off) effect. You can get some different effects depending on how you apply it. The placement of the resist material also needs to be done properly and randomly to get the peeled-off effects look natural and nice.
- Paint application
The next process is the paint application. In this finishing we use red paint, but you can use any paint color to make your own finish. The paint is sprayed evenly over the entire surface. Wait until the paint layer is dry.
- Sanding
After the paint layer is dry, the next process is the sanding process. Sanding in this process has 2 functions: to produce a smooth surface and to produce the peeling paint effect. The sanding process on the paint layer will rub the paint surface and detach the paint on the ressist material and create the “peel off” effects.
Sanding is continued to the entire surface to cut the rough film and produce the smooth surface
- Sealer application
After sanding, the next process is coating with a sealer. The sealer layer will provide a film layer to protect the color and all the effects that have been obtained. The sealer is applied by sprayed evenly over the entire surface. Wait until the sealer is dry, then sand the sealer layer.
- Glaze application
If you want a peel-off with a dirty, old, or patina look, then you need the glaze application. In this panel, glaze with a dark brown was applied on the surface to create an antique, old, and dirty impression.
You can use glaze with any other color if you want to. Some highlights can be done to make a more dramatic antique impression.

- Top coat application
The top coat is the last layer that functions to form a film layer to give protrecton for the finish. The top coat also forms the gloss of the resulting finish. The top coat with medium or low gloss can be chosen for this finish. Apply the top coat by spraying wet over the entire surface. Wait until the paint layer is dry, then check and see the results. If the surface is still rough or the gloss obtained is still uneven, then you can sand the finish and reapply the top coat.
