Depending on the effect you're trying for, we do use one of those giant water guns to create a ';paintball'; effect on my grandson's wall. It's almost necessary to have several on hand unless you want to completely clean it out after using each color. We also found that to get the true ';fight'; effect, it's necessary to vary which colors overlap one another, which requires a little drying time in between some colors. Gotta say it was an interesting afternoon, but fun.How/Can you splatter paint on walls as a faux finish?
This sounds really messy.....but dip a large brush, like the kind used on the exterior of your house, hold the brush over your shoulder, and flip it quickly forward toward the wall. Of course, lots of drop cloths.....How/Can you splatter paint on walls as a faux finish?
I do this for a living.
4 inch brush or whatever you have,,, need not even be a good brush.
Decide the spatter color and dip the brush
Have a slap stick or your wrist/palm to slap the brush handle against close to the wall.
Change positions, pressure, patterns.
Start dry and gauge the effect, add more paint to suit.
