What happens here

Before starting, ensure your wall is prepared with an eggshell finish. This finish is ideal for decorative coatings like metallic grit, as it allows the product to spread and adhere properly without drying too quickly (like a flat finish) or smearing (like a satin or gloss finish). The video shows the wall already painted with Miller Paints Premium Eggshell in 'Flannel Gray N520-3' and the decorative paint to be used, Boero Metallic Grit in 'Mega Greige SW 7031'.

Goal: Ensure the wall is ready for decorative coating and gather all necessary paint products.
