Printer Friendly Version

Paint Products:

• Base coat: Valspar EE2044B Bee Pollen
  • Metallic wall paint: Valspar EE2069 Pale Glow
  • Light Molding Paste
  • Fine Pumice Gel
  • Fluid Naples Yellow Hue

• Texture blades or spackle knives
• Foam stamp

Painting Instructions:

Step 1. Roll base coat over surface and allow to dry. 

Step 2. Roll metallic wall paint over surface and allow to dry. 

Step 3. Mix Light Molding Paste with Fine Pumice Gel and Fluid Naples Yellow Hue at a ratio of 1:1:.01.

Step 4. Use a large palette knife or spackle blade to skip trowel
the mixture on. Keep it thin to allow the metallic wall paint to
show through. 

Step 5.  Dampen the foam stamp with water and press it into the wet plaster.  Do not press hard, lightly tap on the back of the stamp to make sure it’s making good contact and then remove it slowly.  Continue “stamping” across the wet plaster as the design requires.  Allow to dry once finished.

Clean Up:  Wash hands and tools in soap and water.  Keep tools wet while working to prevent permanent adhesion of the acrylic materials.

Surface Preparation:

General: A clean, wax free, non-greasy surface is recommended.  High gloss surfaces may need scuffing to improve adhesion.  GOLDEN Glaze is formulated to work best over a satin sheen base coat.  Gels and texture products may be put over any sheen base coat.

Masonry/Stucco: New masonry needs to be fully cured and primed with a suitable masonry primer.

Wood: Raw wood may be painted or stained directly, but be aware that water based materials can cause grain raising.  See “General” instructions above for guidance on previously painted surfaces.

Metal: Painting direct to metal requires a suitable primer for the specific metal type.  See “General” instructions above for guidance on previously painted surfaces.

Glass: Painting direct to glass is possible; primers and GOLDEN GAC 200 aid in adhesion.

Fabric, Canvas, and Paper: Paint direct or use GOLDEN Mediums as a size, to increase launderability or seal the surface.
