Re: Faux Finish Cover Up
No special prep needed as long as the new paint color is close in color and value. If not, you may want to prime first.

Re: Faux Finish Cover Up
One of the best glazes is Bella Fresco It is my personal favorite and yes it is a bit pricey but it spread forever and once you use it you will never buy anything else. You can order it from Chicago Institute of Fine Finishes fauxbykathy.com

Yellow should be painted dark over light, as all warm colors. If you turn it around, it can still look nice. Patch it up with a white primer- it doesn't need to completely hide, just a white middle coat, then do some darker yellow on it. |

Re: Faux Finish Cover Up
How about doing a REAL finish instead?

Re: Faux Finish Cover Up
No offense, but 'real' is a funny term when it comes to faux painting.
But, who am I. I never did any faux training, just jobs. I'm used to doing stuff the way I see fit. All the best, Evelien |

Re: Faux Finish Cover Up
No I mean a real plaster finish. My business only does real veneer plaster finishes ( alog with lime washes). Meaning, that we don't put a glaze on a painted wall. Faux finishes are real finishes. But, faux means fake in French. The art of faux is to render real marble, gold or plaster with other products. If one is considering doing a faux job to render a plaster job, perhaps you should just do the plaster. Most faux artists also do real plaster.

Re: Faux Finish Cover UpQuote:
Hi Betsy, We haven't spoken before, but maybe I have a tip: I didn't make my own, but I found out that the basis of machine-mixed light latex colors is a transparant substance. Every now and then, I buy a bucket of unmixed latex paint and use it for glazing. Probably it's like in art painting, important not to not make paint with too much medium in it, to prevent it from cracking. (in this case, the medium would be the transparant latex) With best regards, Evelien Last edited by evelien; 01-17-2010 at 03:55 PM. Reason: more info |

Re: Faux Finish Cover Up
I understand Polyvine's glaze has an incredible open time. Is that true anyone? I do use that Aqua stuff because , while expensive it is a safer bet.

Re: Faux Finish Cover Up
Polyvine does have good open time. But then, most professional label glazes have stepped up their game to provide plenty of open time. Consider other qualities of the glaze you buy. i.e...is it exterior rated? durability factor, versatility of tinting, and of course price.
