| I believe one way is to scour it with steel wool then cover with dark shoe polish and wipe off the polish immediately. This will leave dark scarring. |

| Depends on what color you want in the final outcome. The above sounds good. I took a white cabinet door and dry-brushed it using a medium shade of grey. It was super easy and looks wonderful! Then I painted a black cat on it and hung it over the old breaker panel on the kitchen wall. Ta-da! |
