Textured Paint This: Textured paint This special paint or compound is spread in a thick layer on walls or ceil¬ings and provides an easy way to hide seams in sheet rock and any visible nails. Lay the paint on thickly with a textured roller. Alternatively, apply it with an ordinary roller and, before the paint starts to dry, use a rubber-bristled stippling brush or a special toothed brush or comb to produce a variety of different effects. Note that textured paint is a permanent form of Decoration and is difficult to remove. Textured paper, which can be stripped off more easily, may be a better solution.
sparing paintke sure the can is clear of loose dust and : before opening the lid. Check the can ;ee whether the paint needs stirring. If it ;s, use a length of wood.

Respirators are robust, being made from molded rubber or plastic. They have an exhalation valve and a replaceable cartridge Filter that resists organic vapor and paint spraying. You have to insert the appropriate Filter for the substance being used. Safety glasses Typical jobs requiring eye protection are sanding, painting a ceiling with a textured compound, spraying paint, and most metalwork tasks. Whenever you are using chemicals, make eye protection a priority.See Also Paint Mixtures:Paint mixtures and coverage. For interior work one gallon of paint will cover approximately 400 superficial feet, but this will vary according to the character of the surface to be painted. On rough surfaces or ma¬terials which are highly absorbent, the coverage of paint may be con¬siderably less. Thin paint will go further than thick paint, but will have less opaqueness. Paint spreads further on smooth surfaces such as metal-work than it does on rough surfaces such as wood. Second-coat work re¬quires less paint for the same area than first-coat work.
Suggestions for mixing paint colors. There are no scientific formulas for mixing pigments to produce other colors. One cannot state either what quantity, volume, or weight of paint to use to obtain a desired result. This is due to the fact that the chemical ingredients of certain pigments have stronger tinting values than others, so that relatively less of those pigments must be used in mixtures. The production of colors by pigment mixtures must be done by the trial and error method of visual examina¬tion.
In trying to obtain a certain color by a paint mixture, the decorator is usually matching another color or producing axolor that will be suitable for some part of a room or one that will harmonize suitably with the other hues of a tentative color scheme.
