Fresco Powder Large
Fresco is a powdered texture additive that makes it easy to get a chalky, rustic, seaswept, or highly textured finish. Using Fresco™ is as easy as mixing it into Fusion Mineral Paint™ and applying it!
Depending on your mix and application, you will get a different end result. More fresco creates more texture, less will create a smooth chalky finish.
Crackled Heavy Texture
Mix 1-part Fresco to 2 parts Fusion™ Mineral Paint.
Apply a thick (2-3mm) layer of the mixture to your paint ready surface. Allow to set for 10-20 minutes. Knockdown any heavy lumps by passing your brush over them. The heavier the texture the larger the cracks. Applying sunlight or heat will increase the crackle effect.
Flat Matte Chalky Finish
Mix 1-part Fresco to 8 parts Fusion™ Mineral Paint.
1 Small Bag will make 2.5 Quarts or 5 Pints of Flat Matte Chalky Finish.
Apply the mixture in various directions for a hand-painted look immediately upon application. If any lumps occur, brush them out. If using the included scoop, add 4 scoops per Pint for this look. Add more or less as desired.
Sea Swept
Mix 1-part Fresco to 2 parts Fusion Mineral Paint.
Apply the mixture to your paint ready surface. Allow to set for 10-20 minutes then knock down any heavy lumps by passing your brush over them. Allow to fully dry, then continue with additional colors and layers of paint. Fresco is not required in additional layers of paint. *Stippling adds texture.
Complete the look by wet sanding to expose your multiple layers of paint and texture! For best results use a 220-grit sanding sponge. For antiquing, use our Espresso Wax, or Antiquing Glaze to enhance all the details.
