But I wanted something darker like rawhide thats sat in a museum for 200 years. I was able to achieve that look, or so I thought until I questioned other people what it looked like and they said it looked like tree bark. What I had done was mix oil color with varnish and I painted that over the original varnish coat.
If I had read the label on the varnish I would have found out that once the varnish is fully cured, you need to sand it before you try to paint over it. As you might guess, I just painted without sanding and so after about a year or so the new paint turned brittle and on exposure to sun started flaking off a little at a time. As I said, I liked the look - kind of like lichen on a rock or a seal with the mange, but I finally had to throw in the towel on this paint job and scraped and sanded and then covered it over with a coat of gray latex paint.
