What happens here

Pour the Boero Metallic Grit paint into a 2-gallon deep dish paint pan. The product is designed to keep its grit suspended, so continuous stirring is not required once mixed by the supplier. Next, prepare your microfiber rollers. Pre-wet and clean both the 9-inch and 6-inch microfiber rollers. This step is crucial to remove any loose lint, which could otherwise transfer to your decorative coating and compromise the finish. Gently squeeze out excess water with a micro-fiber rag. Attach the 9-inch roller to a short extension pole for easier reach.

Goal: Ensure paint is ready for application and rollers are prepped to avoid imperfections.

It's been mixed up to the color that I want right here. One thing with the metallic grit, the grit itself stays suspended. You don't have to continually stir it or anything. Once it's been mixed and chicken really well, it's good to go. So, I don't have to stir it. So, I put some in my pan, and I'll leave some in my my gallon can here, just in case I need to roll out of a bucket here up top. One thing you want to do, definitely want to pre-wet your microfiber rollers. I got to pre-wet these things and clean them to get them ready for use.
