Did you apply the tale when it was still somewhat wet?Awesome job !

[@gabrielaraneta2077]

awesome. will definitely do this! question: is it okay to apply top coat finish afterwards?

[@evaluna5257]

👍🏻

[@RosarioAmuedo]

Espectacular

[@zerodarkthirty5688]

This looks great! How long did you wait before the 2nd coat? Did you really not mix the white and black paint in the tray for the 1st coat?

[@thelazycraftsman]

Thank you! I waited around 10 minutes before applying the 2nd coat. For the first coat, I intentionally did not mix the black and white paint so that the color would be uneven.

[@jeramyfortney5895]

Is it gloss paint or flat

[@thelazycraftsman]

@@jeramyfortney5895 I used semi-gloss in this video. 🙂

[@oldowl4290]

Really nice job. I plan on doing this soon. Were you using pure acrylic or a standard acrylic latex? And I assume all matte/flat? And I have to ask why the mask though? If you were not wanting to breath paint fumes, only a true NIOSH mask with charcoal filters would do that. And if for Covid, I don't see a lot of people standing around where that would be of any concern. I used to be a painting contractor and unless spraying I never really wore one, except with oil based paints or especially with stains.

[@thelazycraftsman]

I used pure acrylic in satin finish, but you can also use matte or flat. About the mask, I made it a standard to wear one on my videos even if most of the time I don't need it. 😄Thank you for the input.

[@thatchicknyc3606]

@@thelazycraftsman hi. what’s the difference between using acrylic and latex?

[@thelazycraftsman]

@@thatchicknyc3606 Acrylic paint is slightly more durable than latex. But they are almost interchangeable because both are water based paint.

[@haitham1789]

If i want a light grey with same texture like you did here. Do i have to blend with other colors? Or csn i just use your method with brush techniques X shapes. And sponge

[@Arakamm999]

Nice job! Does the sheen of the original coat of white and black matter?

[@thelazycraftsman]

No, flat or gloss is okey. 🙂

[@padraigadhastair4783]

Boy that paint really is dusty, glad you got your mask on.

[@thelazycraftsman]

Lol 🤣

@@thelazycraftsman thanks for the reply, your video was quite instructional and gave me some great ideas. Thanks mate.

[@lauradiaz3441]

Amazing work! How can I find thay sponge? Where did you buy it 🙌🙌

[@thelazycraftsman]

Thank you! I got my sea sponge online, but this may also be available on your local body/skin care shop. 😄

[@iGene31]

Hi, I came acrossed your video. Is it better if I will finished with top coat ? Thanks for your kind reply.😊

[@thelazycraftsman]

Yes! Adding a top coat would help protect your wall paint. 😁

[@alejandraestebandeleon3086]

Thank you very much what paints or what color would be used to finish a type between gray and beige GREYGE...

[@thelazycraftsman]

Same type of paint, just change the paint color from white and black to light grey and brown. Same procedure. 😀

[@seans9072]

What type of paint brush are you using? The only brushes I’ve seen like that are usually labeled as a “stain” brush.

[@thelazycraftsman]

I'am using a Ceiling Paint Brush, but you can use any type of paint brush (the wider the better).🙂

Hello po..ask ko lng kung ano texture nya after?or need pa po i sand ng very light?

[@thelazycraftsman]

Smooth yung texture nya. Same with ordinary paint. No need i sand. 🙂

[@julsjourney4912]

Pwede ba to for exterior? At sa skimcoat na k201 acrylic

[@thelazycraftsman]

Yes, pwede naman sya for exterior and sa skimcoat.

[@yonkob]

Please what kind of ordinary paint you use?

[@forchristsakes]

Do I need to sand the wall before painting it?

[@thelazycraftsman]

You'll have better results if you sand before painting.

[@maryjanequi-lun328]

Nakaskimcoat na po ba yong wall bago kayo nag.apply ng paint? Pls reply thank u po

[@thelazycraftsman]

Hindi naka skimcoat yung walls. Pero may Existing na paint na sya, so niliha ko lang bago mag apply nung bagong paint.😀

[@maryjanequi-lun328]

Thank u po sir.

[@maryjanequi-lun328]

Nice work po ❤️

[@kennethprado4737]

this can done on woods?

[@thelazycraftsman]

Yes, this is applicable on wood. Just remember to apply wood primer before applying the acrylic paint. 🙂

[@VonDenzelDyquiangco]

If i want lighter shade of gray. Ratio should be higher % white and lower % black? Correct?

[@VonDenzelDyquiangco]

Also wanted to ask. Is it okay to use elastomeric paint, its also acrylic waterbased paint

[@thelazycraftsman]

Yes 😀

[@thelazycraftsman]

@@VonDenzelDyquiangco You can use elastomeric instead of acrylic.

[@VonDenzelDyquiangco]

@@thelazycraftsman wow nice, thanks. It's really helpful. I was really planning to use limewash paint (whch is expensive) but then i saw ur vid.

[@Leo-qn5ek]

Goodness. I thought it was supposed to be lazy when it’s more artesian.

[@marxxTV]

Who to do it for white/cream design?

[@thelazycraftsman]

You may be able to do this on a white/cream design, just take from this video the ratio of the paints. Replace the white and black to white and cream. 😃

[@keeevangelista2001]

No more top coat?

[@thelazycraftsman]

Better if you add top coat. =)

If dont have sea sponge..have another choice?

[@thelazycraftsman]

You can try out other cellulose sponges and see if the result works for you. 😀

[@barisbakkalagitsene]

use nano fiber towel not sponge

[@thelazycraftsman]

I'll try that next time 😊

Tried it and was a disaster, hahahahaha. Nice tutorial

Nope!

[@DesignerVIsuals]

Lazy craftsman indeed. Didnt bother to tape off the cabinets b4 painting, and got gray paint all over them..

[@thelazycraftsman]

I did place transparent tape on the cabinet. If you check out the final product, the cabinet does not have the grey paint. 😄

[@thatchicknyc3606]

Absolutely unnecessary comment.

[@ElPierdolito]

Too much work, you can buy such 'concrete' look a like paints, ready to go, instead of going through all these steps and 30 different paints :D ty for the video anyways.

[@zakvlad1624]

water proof po ba ang wall niyan sir pag ganyan finish?lalo po pag sa labas na wall ng bahay water proof napo ba gaya ng pininturahang semento?

[@thelazycraftsman]

Same procedure ng pag paint, pero masmatibay at maswaterproof pag acrytex or elastomeric paint yung gamitin para sa labas ng bahay. 🙂
