Apply First Coat and Trowel

MODERN Concrete Finish FAST and Easy!
What happens here
Apply the first coat of Dulux Concrete Effect paint to the wall using the 9-inch microfiber roller. Focus on applying a thin, even coat. Immediately after rolling a small section (e.g., 2x2 feet), use a Bowearo Flex Trowel to randomly 'trowel' the wet paint. The goal is to create a random, non-patterned texture, avoiding any visible roller marks. Ensure the paint is worked close to the taped edges without smearing. Use a smaller 6-inch microfiber roller to get into corners and tight spaces before troweling. Work quickly as the product dries fast due to its composition, which absorbs moisture rapidly.
Goal: Roll a thin coat of concrete effect paint onto the wall and immediately follow with random troweling.
