Best Answer

Are you referring to the the worn washed look. There are several techniques. The simplest is to use a white coat and let dry for a couple days and then go back and lightly sand a few spots like edges here and there and maybe scuff a couple spots or a corner. The idea is to make it look like natural wear. Then finish with a clear coat for protection.

Another technique is just using a white wash which is not really a paint, you would have to ask an expert how to get this effect, I'm not sure.
