This isn't going to be everyone's style, but....
I painted these shutters, and I love how they look.  If you remember, last week I had asked what to do with them and everyone said paint them white, but I decided to rub paint on it to give it a worn look. So, here's my question: should I take some sand paper to it?

Maybe rub another coat of paint on them, then use sandpaper to give them a worn look?

I agree. add at least one more coat. you want it to look like the paint is wearing off on the ends...but you want it to look white.
right now, it just looks unfinished.

I love those! What about crackling it? It's the perfect style for a treatment like that.

i would also make some dents and scratches in them for a real authentic distressed look.
