Undercoat Application and Forgiveness

so to prep the walls what did what was the first step in tackling this bathroom so the bathroom was a it was kind of a really ugly yellow antique white color and i painted when you do your metallic finishes you want to undercoat them do an undercoat with a matte finish i used on the walls i painted the walls with a regal benjamin moore regal uh select i used a flat this time i've never used a flat before if i wanted to see how a flat worked and on your first coat of flat is it's too flat and it sucks up too much of the metallic finish too fast it makes it so you don't have as much working time it's better to use a matte finish you don't want to use a satin or you don't want to use a gloss because then the metallic finish is going to smear around so you just did that spot of what you're going to do on the brick wall just doing the random rolling are you concerned that if you wait till that dries to go back and you'll be able to see that spot so that's a good question so one of the things about bowero coatings unlike all metallic finishes or um faux finishes decorative finishes that i've ever used if you did something like that or if you stop in the middle of a wall if you started back up like the next day you're gonna see exactly where you started it started and stopped and you can't touch up right in the middle of a wall with bowero coatings you can quit right in the middle of a wall come right back the next day and continue right on or i can do a touch-up right in the middle wall and you won't even see it it's one of the big advantages with these coatings they're very forgiving um you know for people that can't finish the job at once but also once again for if you hang a picture on a wall or something like that you can come back and patch it up which most decorative finishes you can't do that anymore or decorative finishes of old days like a ralph lauren and finishes like that
