Carefully follow instructions for hanging paintable wallcoverings.

Let surface dry for at least 24 hours after hanging. Apply low tack painter´s tape to the ceiling and all trim molding.

Steps for a Decorative Finish

1. Prime the dried surface with a coat of latex primer, which you may tint to the base coat color, if desired.
2. Apply a base coat of silver latex metallic paint. Let dry thoroughly.
3. Mix 1 tbsp. universal tint, Raw Umber into 1 qt. of clear latex glazing liquid such as McCloskey, `Special Effects´ or Valspar, `Decorative Effects.´ (Use more of the raw umber tint to create a darker antique effect.) Roll onto the silver-coated wallpaper. Using a large wad of cotton rags, lightly wipe off the glaze in a circular motion, making sure that your fingers do not make a pattern in the glaze. (It‘s easier if one person rolls on the glaze and a second person wipes it off. This prevents stop/start marks.)

Hint: If this treatment is used on a wall rather than on a ceiling, you may wish to seal the surface with a final coat of high gloss latex water base sealer which should be applied with a brush or lamb‘s wool applicator to prevent bubbling.
