DIY EASY Faux Walls! Metallic Suede.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Begin by thoroughly pre-wetting a 4-inch microfiber roller. After pre-wetting, clean the roller with a rag to ensure no lint or debris will transfer to the metallic finish. Prepare a flexible trowel (flex trowel) which is essential for achieving the proper metallic suede effect. The application will involve a random roll and random trowel technique, ensuring no consistent patterns.

Goal: This step involves preparing the painting tools, specifically pre-wetting and cleaning a microfiber roller, and understanding the use of a flex trowel and the upcoming application technique for metallic suede.

Tools and materials
