Found this after I nearly screwed up our wall. This is, without a doubt, the most complete and honest faux sued instruction video. Thanks.

Thank you for the video. I haven't done this technique in 20 years. I watched a half dozen other videos knowing right away they didn't know what they were talking about. Lol I'm doing an 800 square foot ceiling in the kitchen first thing tomorrow morning. Thank you

I am an artist and have worked with the Ralph Lauren suede paint. I was surprised that you rolled on the first coat! I have only done two layers of the suede both hand brushed, as well as only using the one color. A good video for those who have never done it before but you could keep it simple by just using the same color. Still gives a great effect.

Thanks for an EXCELLENT video. Beautiful job! I love the brushed suede look and have wanted to do it in a room for years but didn't know how to do the edges and corners. Like you so accurately pointed out in your video, everyone else does the middle of the wall. No one shows you how to do the edges and corners...until now. THANKS!! I'm definitely passing this video on.

ooohhh boy remember my old painting days!!! missing!!! great video

Love these effects, really inspiring. Love how he just gets on with the job but still explains what he s aiming for. Great job.

This was the most helpful of all the things I have found on this subject!! Thanks!!! Angela

Awesome! And so ironic. Took on the task of painting my new home this week to find out that 'I am NOT real good at it.' BUT the color that I used is the same color you have here and I will be going to get me some brushed suede in the morning! Thank Dear. And WHEN you said that the 1st coat does not have to perfect I said Thank You Jesus. I think you just saved reputation to my husband that wasn't so sure I could handle the painting!! After yesterday I started to believe it myself. Gr8 video!!

What impressed me most was the offset roller frame. It makes so much sense. Easier on the back and less spatter.

I used the Ralph Lauren Suede paint with the technique mentioned in this video and the result is astonished. Thank you so much for this video. I high recommend to use the Ralph Laurent Suede paint and the technique mentioned in this video. You will no regret.

Great video, thank you.

Thank you. Great video

So when I decided to do a faux treatment on an accent wall, I of course went to youtube. After 2-3 videos, I come across this one ... and what the?!? It's my old college roommate! What up buddy! It's been 15 years yo!

Wish you could see the detail! But I'm sure it looks great!! Thsnks for posting! I'll try it in my bedroom...then for a client..im thinking in my room a dark grey overlayed with a light grey? Thanks for the knowledge! I'm a drywall master and for the last year I've been asked about painting so heck I picked up a painter (Danny) whose one of the best painters I've seen. Hes given me so much knowledge to the point my work I must say looks spectacular!

I will give it a shot today, thanks! Will post a pic wen I'm done...

Great tips.

man you go fast thanx!!

We're doing a smooth metalic faux finish (Sherwin/Will) this week. I like your texture better than the one requested - no place to hide anything with the smooth and I'm not sure how we can fix anything out in the middle. I picked up the micro fiber rollers for it and we've been practicing our random technique with the primer - (ha)

very nice profesional painter

excellent tutorial, I'd like to know what to charge for this type of finish

Wow!! What an amazing video thank you very much sure wish you had more painting videos you explain things very well! Can you do this satin on a textured wall like a orange peel bumpy texture or just a flat wall? Do you have a website for your painting business? Thanks again have a great week

very good!

I like that faux Marble you did, do you have a video for that?

Thanks for a great video. I'm doing a monochromatic gold metallic glaze over gold paint, looking for a simple metallic wall without a lot of texture. Will this technique work for me? Any suggestions about how to keep a wet edge as the edge grows bigger? thank you!

Great helpful video! Would this help hide minor imperfections in the wall? I am not great with spackle. :(

can you use metallic paint as the top coat and get the same effect? we have a tan with Rust-Oleum mettalic accent

just subscribed to your channel was wondering if u can post a how to video of your marble painting columns and inlays techniques.

I have a wall in the living room that's 6' X 12'. The wall is painted with Ralph Lauren River Rock the color Dry Bed. The effect is too flat for us. This wall is the focal point of the living room, it lacks character. Our walls have a Med. Knock Down texture. Can a brushed suede pattern be applied to a textured wall such as ours? My wife really likes the Polished Patina (R.L.) effect. I've watched the R.L. video of how to apply the Polished Patina and it's done with a plastic spatula. Can this be done on our textured wall? If not, can the polished Patina topcoat be used on top of the River Rock to get that polished look but applied with the suede method?

help, my painter is all finished and I still dont see the faux suede affect?? He used a faux suede product but honestly it looks like a painted room. I have seen the faux suede at a friends house and mine didnt turn out anything like hers. Suggestions?

That giraffe 🦒 though.. 👍🏾

I already have my living room wall painted with a mat color similar to the suede color i purchased. Do i still need a base coat or can i just start with the brush strokes right off the bat?

Can anyone comment on sourcing for a suede finish paint now? Ralph Lauren and Valspar suede are no longer available, but I love the look!

If the wall is painted with flat paint and has the bumpy thing going on, does that have to be completely sanded prior to apply the brushed suede technique?

This is a great video and will help me in starting my project. One question is, Im using the Valspar Brushed Suede and it instructs you to use the same paint as the base coat but I saw you used a different color. Was this a flat, eggshell, satin finish? And should I use a different paint for base or use the Brused Suede?

diamondkeith1, would you please post a video explaining how to do the belagio faux from start. Do I have to use a sponge with that? Also, do I have to mix the slurry belagio paint with a joint compound. I sponged it like that "slurry" the way it comes from the gallon and I don't think I'm fully satisfied. Please give me some advice on how to use the belagio faux. Either you or anyone PLEASE....

thank you

My walks were painted suede 10 years ago. I need to paint over exiting paint with same color. What do you recommend? Should I use 3 - 5 inch brush and skip rolling with fresh coat of paint?

Can you ever change the texture back to regular paint? If so, how?

Can you put lighter on dark paint to get this suede look?

Does anyone sell a brushed suede paint any longer? I see that Valspar has discontinued their Valspar brushed suede paint

Is there an actual valspar “suede” paint? What makes it different? I want a specific color. Can it be made in any color?

i have a question how much time it take to do 200 sq ft faux suede

Hi, We were wondering since our wall has already painted in suede finish. Can we change our existing wall from the flat surface into a eggshell surface ? We do not care for the flat surface. It's not easy to clean the wall . Would this still give us a suede pattern looks ? Also, in your video you did not mention is this necessary to do primer the wall first, before paint the 1st suede coat ? Thank you in advance. By the way, very much like your video .

Thanks for the video!! Just wish lighting was better

How do you do touch ups its already painted need to touch up spots.

You mentioned using two different shades, could you please post the name of both that you used?

This video was very helpful thank you. I'm picturing a brown background with green suede or vice versa to give a jungle effect. Do you think that would work?

nice video :)))

And where did you buy the paint

I loved your video. I am kicking myself that I didn't see it BEFORE I messed up my walls. We painted the walls with the dark brown suede as though it was regular paint. I have to admit that it is HORRIBLE. My questions are, how tho fix the wall and can you use a completely different color on top of the first coat to get a different finish? I was thinking about a greyish purple or green. How the heck can I fix the worst paint job that you have ever seen. The brush strokes are terrible and there are major paint thicknesses with straight lines in the corners etc. (BTW, my boyfriend did the walls) !!! I am actually painting today 10/14/14. I hope that you answer these comments in real time!!!

The absolute key to using this paint is the first coat using a regular paint, similar color to the suede paint.

The paint company does not suggest painting the wall with a first coat of just regular paint but 2 coats of the suede paint. This wiould save me from paying another $50 since I have a large area. Question: The suede paint has granules in it, so I'm wondering if using regular paint as the first coat is going to look LESS like suede . So before I go out and buy a base coat of a similar color, Please advise

I hope you respond. Do you sand paper the wall a little before taping the baseboards or after taping the baseboards?

@diamondkeith1

Wipe the baseboards before taping, apply tape, then lightly sand

So can the base paint be any kind of paint or is that also a suede paint?

Keith, It seemed like you virtually repainted the wall covering the base, I don't see much modeling effect with this technique.

It is my understanding that most professionals don't backroll, at least it isn't generally done unless it's on a new wall. Can you explain what the advantage is to backrolling esp. in this scenario? Because it doesn't seem like, to me, that it would have any real benefit and would just make it take longer. Here's a video by another professional painter I like to watch for pointers, etc, and his take on backrolling. kzread.info/dash/bejne/c2mAxdulkZWykpc.html I look forward to your answer. Thanks! :-)

Back rolling is involved with spraying? Not regular rolling.

Random-made, done, happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision. Unpredictable-not predictable; not to be foreseen or foretold Your use of these words is horrendous.
