What kind of paint do you use on wood graining?
Two colors of latex paint, some acrylic glaze, and a wood-graining rocker are all you need for the project. Paint the wood with acrylic paint. You can use any color you like, as long as it’s a dark color. I used black, but you can also use white, brown, or any other color of your choice.
If you don’t want to paint the whole piece, just paint a small area around the heart and then paint over the rest of the piece with a darker color to make it look more like a heart.
What color paint looks like wood?
Choose a low-luster latex paint that matches the undertones of the type of wood you want your project to mimic. If you want the surface to have a resemblance to mahogany, choose coral or dark red. You can choose a shade of gold or silver for lighter woods.
Apply the paint to the wood using a paintbrush or paint brush applicator. You can also use a spray bottle, but be careful not to over-spray. If you do, you’ll end up with a mess of paint all over your work surface, and you won’t be able to clean up the mess afterwards.

It can be applied in a variety of ways, depending on the type of wood you’re working with. This is the easiest method to use. Simply apply a thin coat of paint to the surface of your workpiece and let it sit for a couple of hours. Spray a small amount of filler onto a piece of plywood.
