Methods and compositions for applying a faux finish to a surface; as with a water-based base/primer to initially coat the surface with a base coat that is highly viscous and includes a relatively high percentage of solids that provide a three-dimensional coating having upwardly extending solids; the process may include applying a heavy coating of a second base coat, containing said solid particles, using a roller or sponge roller to provide raised areas (a multi-level surface); optionally applying one or more additional heavy base coats, in the same or different directions; optionally immediately flattening a portion of the surface of the base coat(s); rolling or spraying on a final coating of a glaze coat having a different color or tint than the base coat(s); and moving a portion of the glaze coat, preferably with a squeegee from higher areas to lower areas to visibly uncover a portion of the base coat, or to reveal a different shade of the base coat, due to a thinner glaze coat in higher areas where the glaze coat was moved, in a regular pattern.
A kit for applying a faux finish on a surface comprising a base coating composition having a viscosity of at least 30,000 cp, as measured by a Brookfield Viscometer at 20 rpm using spindle #7, and a glaze coating composition having a viscosity of at least 10,000 cps, as measured by a Brookfield Viscometer at 20 rpm using spindle #7, wherein the base coating composition has a higher solids content than the glaze coating composition, and the base and glaze coating compositions include the following components:
A method of applying a decorative, faux finish onto a surface comprising:
