HOW TO: GORGEOUS TEXTURED WALLS WITH PURE & ORIGINAL MARRAKECH LIME PLASTER PAINT

I wanted to share all about our process for applying Pure & Original Marrakech paint, which is designed to give your walls a concrete or suede like appearance.

One very important thing to note about Marrakech is that the darker the paint color you choose, the more color variation and movement you will see.

1

You might be nervous at first, but don’t sweat it. Any imperfection or variation in application is hardly perceivable once the job is done.

2

We found it best if I brushed or rolled the paint on a little ahead of Kevin, and he worked behind me to trowel and move the paint around.

3

You’ll want to roll or brush it on richly, but not too thick. Just enough that there is enough paint to move around with the trowel, but not too much that you get thick edge lines when you move it.

4

Another thing to know – be sure you don’t cut it – meaning going around and doing all your edges first.

5

It is suggested to wait 10 minutes after brushing or rolling on the paint before you trowel. We noticed if we were under a heat vent, that was too long and the paint was drying too fast.

When it comes to your troweling technique – go with your gut! The more movements you make, the more variation in color and texture.
