Muted
colors and intriguing textures
combine to create a look of
sophistication for any décor.
McCloskey Sand Tones is a unique
finish that features dark and
light grains, re-creating a
beautiful mountainside or golden
beach. This is a look that is
a natural for the den or family
room. It also creates a calm,
comfortable atmosphere for the
bedroom and a welcoming mood
in the entryway. Regardless
of your décor, Sand Tones will
complement your upholstery,
carpet or accent pieces.
Decorator
Options: Paint all four
walls of a room to create
an overall mood. Or paint
just one wall to accent a
mirror, handsome mantel or
favorite painting.
Sand
Tones is suitable for use
on properly prepared wallboard,
plaster, wood, masonry and
brick. You will need to apply
two coats - the first coat
serves as the foundation while
the second produces the gritty
texture and finely grained
appearance. Do not apply to
heavily used surfaces such
as trim, woodwork, doors or
cabinets.
Step
One:
Apply Base Coat. Refer to
step 1 of directions on Suede
Impressions. Remember, remove
tape if you are not completing
your project the same day.
Step
Two: Finish the application
of the first coat by rolling
the entire surface from ceiling
to floor in one direction.
This will create an even appearance
without lap marks. Remove
tape within an hour and allow
to dry at least 4 hours, or
overnight.
Step
Three:
Reapply tape. Then apply the
second coat, using the same
method as for the first coat.
You do not need to cut in
around the edges this time.
Always keep a wet edge between
sections to prevent a banded
appearance. Be sure to finish
with long, even strokes from
ceiling to floor, Use natural
breaks such as the end of
a wall, a doorway or window
as stopping points.
For
high-traffic areas, brush
or roll on McCloskey Clear
Coat when extra durability
is desired. This topcoat will
darken the color of your Sand
Tones selection slightly as
it adds a subtle sheen.
