What is Metallic Grit? AMAZING Wall Finish.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before applying the metallic grit finish, the wall must be prepared with an appropriate base coat. For this project, the base coat used was Sherwin-Williams color 'Dovetail' with a 'Duration Home Matt' sheen. It is crucial to select a matte or eggshell-type sheen for metallic coating products. Avoid flat finishes as they absorb too much product, and high-sheen finishes like semi-gloss can cause the product to 'skid around,' leading to poor application and an undesirable finish. The base coat must be completely dry before proceeding.

Goal: Ensure the wall is pre-coated with a suitable base coat. The video specifies using Sherwin-Williams Dovetail color with a Duration Home Matt sheen.

our wall pre coded and what did we what's our base coat done with John so this is the color dovetail to sherwin color this was under coated with a duration home Matt yep so if you watch some of the other videos it's going to be important that you find the right Sheen for these metallic coating products you want to go with a matte or some sort of eggshell type of Sheen because if you go flat it's going to absorb a lot more of the product than you want it to absorb if you go with like a semi-gloss or something that's a higher Sheen then you're gonna have product kind of skidding around and moving and we don't want that that makes me very sad that's not gonna be a good thing so it's already done it's already dry we're gonna begin doing our metallic
