A cheap and beautiful feature
A bargain finish with surprisingly good results. I bought this paint for a feature wall in our spare room. The usage instructions online are quite vague and not very good so I thought I would provide my process for other first time users. I am really happy with the results, it gives a superb finish and is a relatively forgiving paint. It is easy to apply but as with all paint requires effort to pull off a high level finish. 1. Mask up walls with a good quality masking tape such as green frog tape. Make sure that your walls are good enough that a masking tape won’t bring the paint off the plaster or even plaster off the wall. Take your time here to create good clean lines and watch a YouTube tutorial if you need to. Don’t skip this step! And take your time getting this right. 2. Apply first base coat with a roller. Cut in wi a brush and use a good quality hand held wide roller to cover the wall. You can use a small roller to blend the brushed cut in into the rolled texture of the wall if you want to. The first 2 roller coats are purely for coverage. I gave my wall 2 base coats as they were white when I started and I wanted a dark finish. 3. Apply second base coat as you applied the first but only when first coat is fully dry. To be safe wait a day, but I waited 4 hours on a hot day with all the windows open. 4. Apply your criss cross coat using a wide brush with bristles that aren’t too stiff (this can create heavy brush marks on the final finish). The key here is to not load your brush up with too much paint. You want the paint texture to be equal across the wall, so load your brush little and often. I started in the top left of the wall and worked downwards until I got to the bottom. Then I moved right about 20cm and continued up the wall. Then moved right at the top and came back down and so on. I used criss cross brush strokes that overlapped eachother. I tried to make crosses varied in orientation and size and also curved some cross lines to give a more natural and softer look. Work your way across the wall and keep stepping back away from the wall as you work to see if anything crosses look odd. You can brush these again to amend them if you have to but remember to load up with the right amount of paint (which may be no paint if there is already plenty of paint on that particular section of the wall). 5. Wait for a day for the finish to dry and then remove your masking tape slowly. You can use a heat gun or a Stanley knife to help remove the tape off the wall but as I said before be careful as some strong tapes can pull your paint straight off the wall. I won’t get into masking on this review but you can do your own research. 6. Clean up any over paint onto other walls or splashes with a decent abrasive pad. A bit of water helps here. Use a very small paint brush or knife to straighten any cutting in that isn’t quite spot on as the paint my have bled through the tape or the tape didn’t stick to the wall because of its shape etc. In summary this is a great looking paint and as far as I know the cheapest and simplest way to create a chalk wash or micro cement style feature. Take your time and let your coats dry and if you are nervous or unsure, practice on an old board that you have painted the same colour as your walls. I used the back of an old piece of MDF. Then when you are happy with your technique you can replicate this on the wall. Good luck and hope this bit information is useful to those using this paint as instructions are a bit vague.

Great finish
This paint is so easy to use I brushed it on and gave it 3 coats as wanted the darkest finish. I do feel it has a blue tint to it, however very happy with the results.
