How-To

Step 1

Mask ceilings, baseboards, and trim with painter's tape. With a brush, cut in an 18-inch section along the edge of the ceiling and wall with illusions® SoftSuede™ finish. Then texture the wet finish with the 4-inch Specialty Edge Roller, using a thick coating for best results. Continue rolling with the 9-inch Specialty Roller in 18-inch x 18-inch sections, reloading your roller for each section.

Step 2

As soon as you complete an 18-inch floor-to-ceiling column, roll over it lightly without reloading the roller. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you've covered the entire room, and allow to dry at least four hours. This first coat will look uneven.

Step 3

With a 3-inch latex paint brush, apply a SoftSuede™ topcoat using large, overlapping, random "X" strokes. Be sure to blend your strokes for a softly mottled effect.
