Application
We recommend to test the paint prior to application to ensure you are happy with the finished results. Apply to a suitably prepared surface.
- When creating a feature wall we recommend to mask off the edges with a high quality masking tape.
- Stir the paint thoroughly and ensure to mix all cans of the metallic effect into one container to ensure a consistent colour.
- Apply the metallic effect around the edges with a synthetic brush.
- Lightly apply the first coat using a medium pile roller, take the roller as close to the edges as possible to avoid getting a box look.
- Allow the surface to dry for four hours and start to apply the second coat in small sections.
- Whilst the second coat is still wet, drag the brush in a random pattern, ensuring to overlap brushed areas to achieve an even effect.
- Do not touch up as this will show in the finished results.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.
