*antiquing is a paint technique used to make something look older. antiquing medium, acrylic paint mixed with retarder or house paint mixed with scumble glaze is applied to an object, then wiped back off leaving a small amount of paint remaining in cracks, crevices or grain, making the item look dirty and used.
