What happens here

After applying the metallic grit with the roller, immediately use the 1-foot turf tool to create the 'striae' or scraped effect. Drag the turf tool vertically from top to bottom, feathering yourself away from the wall as you come down. When moving up, feather the tool upwards, maintaining consistent pressure. Ensure your lines are straight and avoid any wavy patterns. If you notice any small 'blobs' or imperfections, lightly re-rag them with the turf tool to smooth them out.

Goal: Achieve the desired metallic striae (scraped) texture on the painted wall.
