WATER-BASED FAUX FINISH AND METHODS

摘要

Methods and compositions for applying a faux finish to a surface; as with a water-based base/primer to initially coat the surface with a base coat that is highly viscous and includes a relatively high percentage of solids that provide a three-dimensional coating; the process includes applying a heavy coating of a second base coat, containing said solid particles, using a roller to provide raised areas (a multi-level surface); optionally flattening a portion of the surface of the base coat(s); rolling or spraying on a glaze coat having a different color than the base coat(s); and moving a portion of the glaze coat, preferably with a squeegee from higher areas to lower areas to visibly uncover a portion of the base coat, or to reveal a different shade of the base coat, due to a thinner glaze coat in higher areas where the glaze coat was moved, in a regular pattern.
