Plastique is a faux painting technique that provides rich, mottled texture to enhance any room.
Step 6: Continue applying the two colors over the wall.
When you have covered the area with bits of each color, return to the original darker color. Dipping the original plastic in the darker color, pat the plastic into the roller to distribute the paint then randomly distribute the paint pattern over the neighboring area. When you have successfully covered the new area with the first color, switch back to the lighter color and repeat the process, gently patting the lighter color over the darker color.
Follow steps #4 and #5 to add the two colors along the wall.
