<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 427688, member: 5066"]Nice little wall cab. No, i really don't know how painters back in the day formulated their paint, i suspect it was different from painter to painter. Painted furniture came out right at the turn of the 18th century here, 1700 or so and for 150 years painters mixed their own paint. Things kinda went downhill quality wise from there though when they stated putting it in cans ready to use. Another critical factor is, those guys were real artists as opposed to ma & pa kettle buying a can of paint and giving it a go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
