1. Example
Before hanging the wallpaper, paint the back of each strip with latex paint. When dry, hang the paste-the-wall non-woven directly on the wall. The slightly translucent non-woven backing would be discreetly colored, while the textured blown vinyl surface would elegantly stand out on its background. This painting technique gives an impressive decorative coating.
Tools: fur roller, painting tub, painter‘s scotch tape.
2. Example
After hanging the wallpaper use a hard smooth rubber roller to apply gently some paint onto the strip. Make sure not to press the roller to keep the paint from getting into the pattern tracks. You may also first paint the entire wall using a fur roller and then paint the textured pattern with paint of a different color.
Tools: fur roller, painting tub, rubber roller, painter‘s scotch tape.
3. Example
Apply the paint onto the wall that will be papered. Wait until the paint is dry and hang the wallpaper. As a result, the color would be mildly seen trough the slightly translucent wallpaper with non-woven backing. This technique accentuates the pattern.
Tools: fur roller, painting tub, rubber roller, painter‘s scotch tape.
4. Example
Add an effect- add-on glaze to your latex paint, to make the color more transparent and increase the paint drying time. While the top paint coat is still wet, rub the wall with a rubber applicator. This will remove some of the applied color while it’s still wet. Repeat the process until you have reached the desired effect.
Tools: fur roller, painting tub, rubber applicator, painter‘s scotch tape.
5. Example
Apply paint of a lighter shade onto the strip. After drying, apply a darker shade of paint and smudge the paint with a wet cloth; that way the top surface would be less painted and the pattern texture would look deeper.
Tools: fur roller, painting tub, painter‘s scotch tape, cloth.
6. Example
First hang the strips, then paint and let them dry. Afterwards apply the appropriately colored metallic glazing onto the painted strip, this would give pearly gloss to the surface.
