DIY Metallic Finish
What happens here
Once the metallic grit has been applied and the striae effect is complete across the entire wall, allow it to dry. After drying, carefully remove all the painter's tape and masking paper, including the Socket Blockers. Pull the tape slowly at a 45-degree angle to avoid pulling off any paint. This product's self-priming nature means the paint will not 'bridge' or peel off with the tape, even if dry. Immediately clean all used tools, especially the turf tool and rollers, as the metallic grit dries quickly and will be difficult to remove once hardened.
Goal: Reveal the finished wall and clean tools for future use.
