Faux Painting A Knock Down Texture Wall - With Coffee?

Painting Textured WallsOkay.. I have never heard of this before. But… no the less… I got the question.

Could you give instructions on how to stain a wall that has a knock down texture on it. I saw on tv that you could stain them with coffee. to me that would be easier than painting.              Thanks, Shelly

First…. I wouldn't paint a wall with coffee. It isn't permanent and your room will smell of coffee for a long while. Now… I love coffee, and I wouldn't mind a room that smelled like coffee, but I would like to choose when I want that smell. I might not want it all the time.

Second…  A wall covered with coffee will wash off, unless the base coat paint is a flat finish. You all know… I never use flat paint for anything unless I have to.

That all said… you should read the article I wrote about painting heavily textured walls .

Have Fun… it's just paint.
