Mask and Protect Surfaces

gloss, it's going to cause the product to just smear around. It's going to be very difficult to work with. It's not going to give you the proper effect. Use an eggshell finish. And I really like using a high-end eggshell finish even though it is the undercoat. Don't use a cheap product. I want to get the metallic grit on fast. I'm going to be using a 9-in roller.
