Furniture Clinic Wood Stain (Grey) – Fast Drying, Highly Concentrated, and Easy-to-Apply Wood Stain for All Indoor & Outdoor Wood – Water Based & Non-Toxic – 250ml

Product Information

Use a fairly dry brush with long strokes when applying the grey wash. The idea isn’t to fully cover the surface as much as to apply a wash. Some bare spots add to the desired result, although there is a point where there can be too much that is left bare. There you have it! Now you know what 10 different grey stain colors look like on 7 different types of wood. Did you find the color you’re using on your next project? Let me know in the comments below if there are any other colors you want us to test out! Classic gray is a cool toned gray wood stain. It’s a nice true-gray – meaning it’s not white, charcoal, or brown. On the other hand, using a dark wood-tone stain along with grey colors helps to give more visual depth and texture to the piece.

Gel stain is oil-based, and the top coat is a water based product. I had to wait three days for the oil to fully dry before applying the top coat. If you use an oil-based top coat, like this wipe on gel top coat, you only need to wait 24 hours. This results in a more realistic fake antique finish, as any white paint that has been on something long enough to be naturally distressed will probably not look white anymore.

Also, here is a video summary of the gray wood stains that I did more recently, which includes a 6th gray stain color!

After allowing the watered-down paint a few minutes to start drying, wipe off the excess grey wash with paper towels or clean rags. The resulting grey stains and finish provide a mottled gray stain and patina, which already shows the beginnings of being distressed. Though they have the same name, Varathane’s Classic Gray stain is much lighter than Minwax’s. It has a similar undertone, but would require multiple coats to achieve the same deep color, especially on 2x boards and common board. Varathane Gray Stone

Minwax Classic Gray is always a fan favorite in the grey stain category. It’s a brownish-gray, making it neutral enough to go with a lot of different styles and decor. Color can be added over the grey color and washed, with another lighter coat of grey washing over the grey stain again. Are you looking for a grey wood stain to add a beautiful, gray finish to your wood project? Well, I personally love a weathered, gray finish on my DIY wood projects, but that involves a few steps to achieve and can’t be achieved with one stain color only (that I know of at this time).
