What happens here

Allow the first coat to dry completely. The presenter notes that with metallic suede, you can pause work and resume the next day without visible lines. For the second coat, load your roller and apply the metallic paint using the same random rolling technique as before. Immediately follow up with the brush, creating the random, short, sweeping motions to eliminate roller marks and build the desired texture. The presenter emphasizes that while one coat might look decent, two coats provide a more polished, finished look with greater depth. Continue working in small, manageable sections to prevent the paint from drying before you can apply the brush texture. If the paint seems to be drying too fast, a 'Long Open Time Glaze' can be added to the paint to extend the working time (e.g., half a quart per gallon of paint). Ensure no roller stippling or obvious patterns remain, aiming for a natural, random appearance.

Goal: After the first coat dries, apply a second coat using the same random roll and brush technique. This layer enhances the depth and finish of the metallic suede, ensuring a more polished look.
