If you want a no-extra-cost non-monolithic finish on your plastic laminate paint system, (as in two-tone)

after proper prep-work, roll out the chosen color, let it dry.

Then wipe off the edge of the can and put the lid back on and take it back to paint store & have them add a “squirt or two” of another color in the same paint-system.

This gives you a two-toned effect for the price of one can!

Buy either a faux sponge paint roller cover or buy a wide chip brush and cut into it like the hairdresser texturizes bangs - this is to make a “dry brush” effect.

Then apply the second two-tone color with either the sponge roller or the dry-brush and be prepared to dab or adjust it as you go and full in the corners later.

Hello Gayle,

No! is the simple answer, it will not take a stain!
