METALLIC SUEDE Decorative Coatings Are EASY $$$

What happens here

Begin applying the metallic suede paint to the wall using the microfiber mini-roller. The technique involves 'random rolling,' meaning you should apply the paint in various, non-uniform directions (sweeping, looping, or X-like motions) rather than in straight, consistent strokes. Ensure the paint is applied very thinly. Immediately after rolling a small section, use a paint brush to lightly and randomly brush over the freshly rolled paint. This action eliminates any stippling or texture left by the roller and further enhances the hand-brushed effect. Work in small, manageable sections to prevent the paint from drying before you have a chance to brush it, as this paint dries quickly.

Goal: Apply a thin first coat of metallic suede using a combination of random rolling and immediate brushing to create a textured finish without visible roller marks.

What they say

Hide

is the technique when it comes to applying these coatings, any of the metallic finishes. Uh we're going to be rolling them on. And we're typically doing what we call random roll. So, we're going to roll it on randomly and then we're going to brush randomly also. And I've got two brushes. Depending on what I need to work around, got, you know, tight areas and stuff, I can use a small one. But I think for the most part, I'm going to be just using my large brush. And it's just going to be kind of this just random brushing technique to give the effect that I want. So, I'm just going to start from one corner here. And I'll just work my way down. And I'm just going to just jam my roller up into cuz I wanted to get all the way up into the tape. And it goes on. You want it to be really thin. You don't want it to be thick. And this is just a random roll effect. You can just do a random roll and that could be your coating right there. But this is gonna be wanted to do a brushed effect. So, I'm gonna random roll it and I'll just work in uh you know, small sections. The one great thing about the suede product is is I can stop right here, come back tomorrow, and finish where I left off, and you'll never know. So now I'm just going to just do random brushes. So I just kind of want to make sure I'm looking for every I don't want to leave any of the stippling from the roller marks behind. I want that to all go away. I want it to be just brush strokes. And you c you got to work just short sections because it starts to dry pretty fast and your roller or your brush really won't have any effect if you let it dry. I'm kind of excited to see this. This was a color I chose for this bedroom and um I think the color is absolutely amazing. Um, so I'm kind of excited to see the finished project. So it's really important that you also, you know, random roll, you know, and random brush when you're applying it. You you don't want anything to be consistent with these metallic suede coatings. Everything is done randomly, so you don't see any type of pattern. This is the type of painting that's actually really fun. Make sure you when you're you end you don't want to end and leave brush marks or um leave stipple marks cuz those will dry. You want to you'll keep your edges brushed. So, you're kind of just taking your roller, jamming the product up in there. And so it's kind of like to describe as kind of like this uh sweeping like um looping sweeping motion. Um random X's, but they're kind…
