Faux finish is a can of Faux glaze (clear) - I use it for many, many projects because it opens the use time before drying begins and allows you more time to work with the application to get your desired look. I also add an extender if I am making a faux granite or marble project. A faux glaze (I just finished our masterbath vanity, medicine cabinet wood trim and wall cabinet with a stain glaze - I also will be using in our kitchen on the cabinets. The glaze is very thick white in color - and I mix for paint 4 parts glaze to one part paint - whatever color you chose is the color you will get - the white color of the glaze does not alter the paint or stain in any way. For a stain glaze (often applied to kitchen cabinets) I use a 50/50 mix - because stain is thinner than paint and the glaze is very thick - so this gives you a very good consistency and you can even add in woodgrain - if you like that look. The difference between using stain glaze or paint glaze is stain allows you to wipe away the application entirely if it is to dark in some areas - I also highly recommend a good feather brush if you are staining especially - but I also use one for painting as well. You can get clear Faux Glaze at Home Depot, Wal Mart, or most paint stores carry it. I've tried many brands, but I like the Behr the best - one quart will go a long way - unless you have a lot of cabinets. I keep leftover mixes in a tightly covered contained (plastic or glass) and stir just like paint or stain prior to using it again.
Also, this is a very easy process. You will save money by mixing your own. And latex paint is recommended for using with a faux glaze. I have been doing this type of work for many years. I painted our bathroom cabinets in a light grey, then mixed charcoal grey stain with the faux glaze and applied it with a sponge brush, and even created wood like grain with the sponge applicator! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/406098091385382941/
