Step 1: Apply 2 coats of White SetCoat®, letting the first coat dry a minimum of 4 hours before applying the second coat. Let the second coat dry at least overnight.

Step 2: Make a 1:1 mixture of PlasterTex® and SofTex™. Roll this mixture over the SetCoat® surface and immediately drag a wallpaper brush horizontally through the mixture. Let dry.

Step 3: Lightly knock off any larger pieces with a putty knife or metal blade. Roll an even coat of Eggplant SetCoat® over the surface. Let dry.

Step 4: Make two separate mixtures: (1) 25% Leo Gold MetalGlow® with 75% Venetian Gem® Finish Coat, (2) 25% Silver FauxMetal™ with 75% Venetian Gem® Finish Coat. Simultaneously skim coat both mixtures over the surface vertically, blending the colors in some areas and keeping separate in others. Cover 100%. Let dry.
