| How to Hang and Use Paintable Wallcovering and Borders |
|
|
 |
- For
larger cracks, concrete blocks or textured surfaces, apply a lining
paper first.
|
 |
|
 |
- Follow
the instructions for hanging pre-pasted wallpaper on walls or ceilings.
Also read the specific instructions included with the product regarding
soaking and booking.
|
|
 |
 |
- Wait
72 hours to allow the product to totally cure on the wall before applying
paint.
|
|
|
 |
- To paint,
apply two coats of any color premium quality, latex wall paint using
a medium to heavy nap roller.
|
|
 |
 |
- You can
also achieve unique effects with paintable wallcovering:
|
|
|
 |
- Dragging
- Paint
a base color and allow to dry. Tape stripes on the wall
at desired thickness using drafting or very low tack tape.
Apply contrasting color stripes with a hard rubber roller.
|
|
 |
|
- Ragging
- Use
a brush to apply a base color to the surface. While the
paint is still wet, brush on a slightly lighter and slightly
darker paint to achieve the desired ragged look.
|
|
 |
 |
- Sponging
- Apply
slightly thinned latex paint to the surface using a brush.
While the base coat is still wet, rub paint off raised
areas using a clean cloth. After the base is dry, dab
on a second paint color in a random pattern. You may apply
as many colors as you wish without waiting for them to
dry.
|
|
 |
 |
- Stencil
- Paint
the base color and allow to dry. With a hard rubber roller,
apply metallic paint to raised areas.
|
|
 |
 |
- Antiquing
- Apply
a light colored base paint to the surface. Using water,
slightly dilute darker colored paint. Apply using a spray
bottle or splatter with a paintbrush. Lightly blot drops
of paint that begin to run using a clean cloth. Veins
can be created by applying a darker shade of paint using
an artist's brush, then lightly brushing the lines at
an angle.
|
|
 |
 |
- Colorwashing
- Apply
a thinned base coat and dab off raised areas with a cloth.
Let dry, then dab contrasting color on with a sea sponge
or dry brush. You may add as many contrasting colors as
you wish.
