Great question! Ideally, we do want to be using matte. At the time, these were the only ones available to use. The satin was close enough to matte that it worked. Hope that clarifies things up for you!

Yet, you state, “Whatever your favorite brand, I would make sure it is matte! Again, you want to avoid any glossy or satin finishes, which will take away from that natural, earthy rattan look.”
Please advise.

Hey Patricia! So glad you like the table. The colors used for this table are Rust-Oleum Fossil Spray Paint and Rust-Oleum Khaki Spray Paint.

Hey Lisa! I’m sorry to hear that it’s not working for you. I’m wondering if you go very, very lightly with the khaki so that the coverage in super thin if it will help the lighter natural look to show through better? I hope it works out for you!

I’m sweeping, but it’s just showing the darker color of the khaki on top, not the lighter natural look.

Any suggestions? I even painted back over it with fossil in the spots where the khaki was obvious and tried again, but it’s not working.
