PLEASE HELP!! We're about to texture and paint the bathroom and I want to double-check before starting!! We are about to put sand texture on the walls in the bathroom. This type of texture looks like curdled milk, is gritty, and says it will leave the wall white, with a "coarse sand texture." After the texture dries, we plan to paint it, but we want to use 2 different colors. Here are my questions: 1) What is the best (most effective) way to apply this texture? With a roller? Trowel? Paint brush? We want the texture to have depth, but not be glopped up all over the wall. 2) We currently have an eggplant color and a sage color, but after reading another help thread on this forum, it appears that two COMPLETELY different colors will not produce a desirable result. Assuming we choose the purple.. Should we go with a dark purple base and a lighter purple wash? Or vice versa? 3) Where do I go from here? Apply the 1st color and let it dry then apply the diluted 2nd color? I'm SOO confused.. Apply both colors at the same time? Thanks in advance to any and all who are able to help me.. :confused:
