I've seen this done with a 50:50 ratio of water to paint. The wash was applied in a thin layer and wiped away. That was done three times until the desired appearance. The successive coats were not applied until the piece was completely dry. All of the wood grain was fully exposed on the flat surfaces. There were no blotches of solid paint obscuring the grain.
Good video. Great tip for the wire brush and super glue. I use to do this procedure, but I now use chalk paint. It covers everything and no need to remove the old finish. I use a mat finish clear paint to protect the final product.
I notice you aren’t wearing a mask when painting on the polyurethane. Don’t the fumes overwhelm you? Is there some kind of wax finish one could use that would create a less shiny look?
Shit I wish I saw this video before I repainted an old coffee table. So much easier. I used white for everything except for the main top I used a light grey. Not sure if I got the wrong type of paint (I’m a noob) but man did that grey come out so thick I couldn’t smear it around at all to get my desired look.
care to share a link to a video with a better method? thank you! I want to redo an old garden table with this kind of look: something between rustic/vintage/Provence )))🙈 preferably using acrylic paints

Too much paint on it and much better methods than this. Probably should have started with half water paint.
He made this 4 years ago & paint options have come a long way since then
