    Hi,

    May you please tell me what color you painted this Wilton 1750?
    Thank you,

    Yann

      Hi Yann,

      That was painted Rustoleum Hammered Verde Green. It’s very close to the original Wilton paint, but might not be quite as dark. If you apply slightly heavier coats, it gets darker, and has more of a hammered look to it.
