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.
