DIY Metallic Finish

What happens here

Using the 6-inch microfiber roller, generously apply the metallic grit paint to the masked edges and corners of the accent wall. It is important to 'jam' the product firmly into the tape line to ensure the edges are well-covered and fully saturated. This heavy application helps prevent bleed-through and ensures a consistent texture, especially crucial since the product is applied in one heavy coat.

Goal: Achieve full, consistent coverage of metallic grit along masked edges and in corners.

What they say

Hide

decorative coating. Here's a new product that I was sent that we are testing out right here. We're testing right here today. They're called socket blockers. So, what they do is they go over your light switches and outlets to keep you from getting paint or texture or anything on them. So, instead of just putting tape on them, here you go. Socket blockers. So, I'm going to put them to the test today. Down in the video description below, if you're interested in testing them out, um, we'll put it down in the video description. So, now I'm going to get applying my product. And the product does dry fairly fast, so you gota you got to work quickly. I'm not going to coat the whole entire wall. I'm going to just work in sections. So, I'm going to work my way from left to right down this wall. And I'm going to work get my edges done first. Then I'm going to fill it in and then I'm going to use my turf tool to stri it. And you want to work quickly, they say. And this product you want to put it on extremely heavy. So, you don't want to be lighting. This is one coat and you're done. Unlike some of the other metallic finishes from Bero, it's multiple coats. Like the suede is um typically two coats. The metallic paint is typically two coats. But the grit, this is a one coat product. And what you're going to do, you just want to jam it into your tape just like this. So, you want it to get covered all the way. That's why you got to do two rolls of tape. And it's going to be jamming in there. My edges, you want to random roll it. Get it on there really heavy. And this is why Frog tape is so important because you're kind of jamming it in there, forcing it up against your tape and your edges and it would bleed if you didn't have frog tape. That's about as far as I want
