Product Characteristics

  1. Texture and Gloss
    • Touch: The surface of the Velvet Art Paint feels soft and smooth, similar to real velvet fabric. This unique texture is due to the special formula and application techniques, which create a microstructure on the paint film resembling the fibers of velvet.
    • Gloss: It has a soft and layered gloss, often presenting a pearl-like or velvet-like sheen. The gloss changes with different angles and lighting, creating a unique effect of light and shadow. This gives the wall a more three-dimensional and artistic appearance.

For example, it can create a fine texture like velvet or a granular effect with pearl-like gloss, greatly enhancing the decorative value of the wall.
  4. Durability and Practicality
    • Wear and Wash Resistance: The paint film is hard and has good wear and wash resistance. It can withstand daily scratches and wear. After multiple washes, it still maintains a good appearance.

Application Techniques

  1. Preparation Before Application
    • Surface Preparation: The surface must be flat, firm, dry, and clean, free from oil, dust, cracks, etc. For new walls, ensure that the moisture content is below 10% and the pH value is less than 10. For old walls, remove old paint and powdery layers and sand them.
    • Tool Preparation: Choose appropriate tools according to the application technique, such as rollers, brushes, spray guns, texturing boards, and spatulas.
  2. Application Steps
    • Primer Application:
      • Special Primer: First, apply a layer of special penetrating primer to enhance the adhesion of the paint film to the surface and seal the pores in the surface to prevent alkaline substances in the surface from affecting the paint film.
      • Matte Primer: After the primer dries, apply a layer of matte primer (can be adjusted to the same color) to provide a better base for the subsequent application of the Velvet Art Paint.
    • Art Paint Application:
      • First Coat of Art Paint: Use a roller or brush to evenly apply the Velvet Art Paint to the wall. Pay attention to the speed and avoid missing any areas. According to the product instructions, you can add water (usually 10%-15%) to adjust the application performance.
      • Texturing: Before the first coat of paint dries completely (usually in a semi-dry state), use a special round texturing board to create a textural effect. Texturing should be done in a zigzag pattern with even force to create a velvet-like texture.
      • Second Coat of Art Paint: After the first coat dries, apply the second coat of art paint and texturing again. Repeat this process as needed to enhance the textural effect.
    • Smoothing: When the paint is in a semi-dry state, use a multi-sided plastic spatula to smooth the wall. This makes the texture more even and delicate and removes excess paint.
    • Sealing (Optional): To further protect the paint film and enhance its wear and stain resistance, you can apply a layer of clear sealing paint after the last coat of art paint dries.
  3. Application Conditions
    • Temperature and Humidity: The environmental temperature during application should not be lower than 5℃, and the relative humidity of the air should be less than 85%. Too low temperature or too high humidity will affect the drying and performance of the paint film.
    • Ventilation: Good ventilation should be maintained during the application process to accelerate the drying of the paint film and reduce odors.
