How do you get that 'orange peel' effect on walls?
Is it in the plaster or paint? Is it something an average do-it-yourselfer can do?
I have a finished basement. It's got wallpaper on the walls and all the advice I've gotten is to leave the paper up so as not to destroy the walls underneath. It's some kind of drywall underneath the paper but I'm not exactly sure what kind. I don't want to paper the area - it's really big. If I paint, the seams will show, so I don't want to do that, either. I thought that the 'orange peel' effect will cover the seams nicely.
What special equipment is needed? Please be specific so I buy the right things. Thanks!
My missus has plenty around the tops of her legs, and her ar$e it's called cellulite. But seriously, it's called sponge painting. Buy a good NATURAL sponge from the pharmacy, Dilute your paint slightly, using 3 matching colours, dab lightly in one colour all over. Repeat with the second colour, and then the third.I would recommend that you use a piece of waste wallpaper, and do a tester, so you can practice getting the effect you desire. GOOD LUCK, It's fun.
