Step 2: ColorFlakes
Immediately after applying the basecoat apply 1/16" ColorFlakes with a Wagner® PowerTex® electric hopper-blower gun. Standing approximately six feet from the wall, spray in a back and forth motion in four foot wide sections, starting each section at the bottom and working your way up the wall to ensure optimal coverage adhesion.
Recommendations
• Recommended Size: 1/16"
• Select a 3-6 color blend to match your basecoat color and compliment
• any décor.
• Coverage Rate = 10-15 sq. ft. / lb. |

Step 3: Knockdown
