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.

It's looking pretty pretty cool here. You want to clean out your tools, especially that turf tool, right away cuz that stuff is going to dry on there really fast. It's a self-priming metallic product and um it won't come off when you're done. So, we're going to let this dry, pull the tape, see what the wall looks like all finished. Let's take a look at our handy work here. Let's see what this is. Overall took me about one person to do this wall cutting it, cleaning up. We got a lot of the tools already cleaned up and stuff and talking, you know, an hour and a half, you know, for just one person to do this. So, it's a fairly fast process. It's not doesn't take a long time to paint the wall. It took me probably an hour and a half to paint the wall. Don't have to worry about uh paint bridging this stuff. Does not bridge. So, even if it does dry, you don't have to worry about scoring it. Our socket blockers, um, once again, it's a new product I'm testing out. So far, uh, do like them. They're We'll see if they I slopped product all around them. We'll see if anything got on our sockets. And there's nothing on the socket. They came off. So, there you have it. Metallic strea
