Cadence Vintage Legend – Create Timeless Antique Textures

Want to give your pieces an aged, worn look full of character? Cadence Vintage Legend Antique Paint is the ideal solution. Its thick formula, enriched with various sizes of granules, builds tactile, layered textures perfect for furniture, décor, or wall art with a vintage soul.

Layering for Realistic Wear

The best results come from a three-step process: Start with a base coat of Cadence Acrylic or Hybrid Paint. Then apply Vintage Legend generously with a brush. After at least 12 hours, gently scrape the surface for a distressed effect. Finish with Cadence Very Chalky and seal with Velvet Matte Varnish or wax for added depth.
