Step 1
Mask ceilings, baseboards, and trim with
painter's tape. Paint the wall with your
desired basecoat color and allow to dry
completely (minimum 4 hours or overnight).
Step 2
Mix one part Sherwin-Williams® SuperPaint®
Interior Latex Satin to five parts illusions™
Faux Finish Glazing Liquid™. Beginning in one
corner of the wall, roll your glaze coat on the
entire height of your wall and approximately
three feet wide. This will allow ample time to
work before the glaze begins to dry.
Step 3
Lightly drag a dry comb or wallpaper brush down
through the wet glaze in one continuous stroke
from ceiling to floor. Apply even pressure and
keep the tool tilted toward you to produce a
streaked appearance. Wipe excess glaze from
your tool after each stroke to maintain a clean
edge. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as you work along
the entire wall.
Tip
Stop dragging a few inches from the outside
edge of your glaze as you work. This allows you
to overlap your next three-foot-wide glaze coat
for a smooth transition.
Optional Technique
Stripes are just the beginning. Experiment with
alternating vertically and horizontally combed
squares for a basket weave effect, or create a
plaid pattern by combing horizontally through
your vertical stripes before they dry.
