Supplies Needed:

Metallic Plaster in the color Eucalyptus. You can choose any color that works for you! Measure the total square footage of the area you need to cover to figure coverage, just like with paint.

240MM Japanese Trowel

Natural Sea Sponge Mini Roller

Latex Paint base in color close to Metallic Plaster. I chose a vibrant green, which is not a close match to Eucalyptus, so you could easily see the process. Notice the plaster covered it easily. You can skip this if you choose a Metallic Plaster color close to your wall color.

Paint Supplies: Roller pan and liners, paint roller, medium nap roller, paint brush and paint stir sticks

Tape Supplies: Painters tape and low-tack tape

Additional Supplies: Rags, drop cloths and ladder

Use painters tape to tape off the wall, trim and baseboards.

Cut in all edges.

Roll on two coats of base paint. Let dry according to directions.

Put some Metallic Plaster in the roller pan. Use the sponge roller to roll on the plaster. This is completely different than rolling paint. The goal is to create random texture that is not flat or 100% filled in. Use short strokes about 8″ long, turning the roller with every stroke. Aim for about 90% coverage of the surface. Roll about 1 1/2 square feet at a time.

Use the trowel to knock down the peaks. Use very light pressure at a low angle. Fini
