Use craft paint (available in most craft stores) and paint the entire clock Barn Red or your prefered color, and let dry. Rub painted clock firmly with steel wool. The paint will release from those areas where wax was applied, and the timeworn will show through. This will give a beautiful timeworn look, and a softly waxed finish.
