Paint A Bedroom Metallic

Paint your bedroom wall a metallic color.


Metallic paint on a wall can look shiny and cool, but you will have to work hard to make sure the finish looks spotless. Metallic paints highlight the imperfections of a wall, so keep this in mind before deciding to cover your walls in silver or gold. If you do not mind a little texture, paint the walls with a roller brush.


Instructions


1. Lay your tarp across the floor of your room. You may need more than one.


2. Tape any trim in your room by applying painter's tape from the edge of the trim to the wall.


3. Fill a bucket with water and a few drops liquid dish soap. Dip a cellulose sponge in the water, squeeze out the excess and wash the walls to remove dirt and residue.


4. Pour your primer into your paint tray. Dip your roller brush in the paint, rolling it across the ridges of the tray designed to catch excess paint. Once the roller has an even coat of paint, paint the wall of your bedroom. Repeat until all walls are covered. Allow them to dry.


5. Pour your metallic paint in your painter's tray. Repeat the same technique you used with the primer. When you begin painting the wall, paint a "W" shape on the wall. You will roll the brush down, up, down and up. Trace the "W" backward with a fresh coat of paint. Then, fill in the remaining wall with rolls of paint. Repeat this process for every 3 feet of wall.
