Level 5 Finish??

beapainter

Hello guys, I'm a painter by trade. I was painting for a contractor in a higher end home that had a level 5 finish on the walls. Now I 've never heard of this before, but as he tells me that after it is mudded and taped it gets a sprayed coat of a mud product?? Could someone shed some light on this please? It is not a knock down or orange peel.

Thank you

The 5th level is a skim coat of drywall mud, finished to a 'perfect' smooth finish.

Nobody in their right mind would pay for a level 5 finish and then texture it. Depending on the texture and the skills of the mudder, texture usually gets applied after a level 3 or level 4 finish.

a level five finish can be achieved two ways, one to skim coat the entire board with a tight coat of drywall mud or as your talking about a self leveling material that also primes the drywall for paint
here is a link from magnums product of level five-- www .levelcoat. com?

the site won't let me post the link because of my number of post i've made
