Surface
Smooth surfaces indoors, woodchip wallpaper, slightly structured wallpaper or wooden surfaces. (The surfaces shouldn’t absorb too much of the paint).

What you need


Paint:
Emulsion paint or latex paint for the walls, acrylic glaze for wooden surfaces, in each case use a basis-colour tone and then another tone for the special-effects.

For the basis-colour tone:
Use the mako wall roller or mako glaze roller to achieve an even coat of paint.

For the color washing design:
Use the mako special- effects brush, mako color washing gloves, mako special-effects glove, mako currycomb and mako structuring sponge or mako natural sponge.

How to do it the right way

1. Paint the wall evenly with the basis-colour tone using the mako roller and let it dry well.
   
2.

Wet the chosen mako special-effects tool slighty with water before applying the special-effects paint all over the wall (each wipe should be about 10 to 30 cm, and all of them should give a kind of “by accident” effect). Let the paint dry well.After finishing your work clean the mako natural sponge with water and let it air-dry.
We advise you to use either acrylic glaze or varnish to protect your wooden surfaces. But do not forget to let the painted surface dry for at least 24 h before starting.
