Why do you need to paint the basic color twice? Because it seems like the second color is covering everything. I was wondering and want to learn the reason. Thanks. You look so professional.
Hello! If a use e a paint sprayer on a textured wall and after that I am wallpapering it using a muslin cloth Is possible to obtain a limewashed effect? To look like the wall is dirty. Thanks!!
Hi Alex. The very best way to get a lime washed effect is to paint with lime wash. Please call our Help and Advice department on (02)9698-5322 or 1800 656 664, who can go into more detail with you on what you are trying to achieve, and give you the best advice.
Muslin cloth. We used to make clothing out if it. A reasonably light to medium stiffness, and not stretchy, a cotton. But is it cheesecloth you are using...the type that is being sold to do the ragging off of your paint in NZ? Anyone know where I can pick up the exact muslin cloth in NZ? And your French wash didn't look as runny as mine. Is this ad actually using French wash for ragging... I can't see it running everywhere down the wall?
The Porter's Paints store in Auckland sells the muslin that we recommend. It's light, not stretchy, and finer and more absorbent than cheesecloth, but of course we may be talking about exactly the same thing. I wouldn't think you could make clothes out of it, it's very fine and soft. French Wash, while it is a light-weight paint with a lighter consistency than paint, should not run down the wall. Apply it evenly, ensuring complete coverage, but no more than it takes to get coverage. Is it possible that you are over-loading your brush? After applying the French Wash in a random, multi-directional pattern, immediately remove with your muslin. Scrunch at least 5m of muslin. There's a good written explanation on our website. It's called a Specification Sheet and can be found here: www.porterspaints.com/paints/products/french-wash/ Thanks for getting in touch.

What can you do with the other walls if you have a large room and can’t do all the walls. What do you recommend for making sure the walls blend in to each other? Could you use the base coat as the main color for the rest of the walls.
Start over. Unfortunately that’s the correct answer. You could add some white and a little glaze to the paint and try to redo the French wash part, if you are extremely lucky it will look layered and pretty.
Hi - the French Wash is not like normal paint, it's specially formulated for this use. Normal paint is too thick and dries too fast. Sydney Harbor Paint Company in LA sells our French Wash. It goes a very long way - 25 square metres per litre, which is around 270 square foot, so you may only need a litre or two.
Thanks Mr. Foster for demonstrating the beautiful technique of French Washing ( it is exhausting because you can’t stop 😊) but it’s unique, beautiful & has an “old world” vibe. I watch Lone Fox on RUclips and he used some of your paint for his beautiful home.
I think how the two paints interact is key, I.e., if it's not the right combination the 2nd layer might wipe off too much and the effect is too subtle. I'd test a small area first.
Hi. I'm not sure which retailer you went to, but perhaps it is because while it is a standard colour for our range of broadwall paints, it is not a standard colour for French Wash. It would have to be made especially for you, which is not a problem in one of our own stores, but may be difficult for a reseller. If you chose Rubble as your French Wash colour, then I suggest you put it over a base of Irish Linen, but if you chose Rubble as your base colour, then there is a lovely colour called Granite that would be perfect for the French Wash. I hope this makes sense. If not, give one of our Porter's stores a call and we can help you out over the phone.
@@PortersPaintsRUclips Thank you for getting back with this. Yes... I've made a mistake... huge $175 mistake. I have a wall that has a light off white. Looked at the Rubble because it's the colour of the plaster in the powder room. Thought of the French wash, watched the video, and decided I could do that. The thing is, didn't think for a moment that it's a "thin wash", and the Porter's video didn't look as if it's as thin going on as this wash that I've bought. I actually wanted the Rubble thickness, you know, the look on the colour on the swatch card, and I wanted to do that ragging. Yes, I bought it from an onseller who probably could have asked me more questions and probably could have come to the conclusion, that I want a wash effect (thickish) like plaster. I've bought a 4ltre and done a wash on a sample board and it's crazily not what I was imagining. It's ghastly and sickening. So today, I go all the way to Bunnings Albany to get a teapot of Rubble, which the other onseller didn't stock. I'll get there in the end. And no, a match had to be made up for Rubble into the wash. I wasn't informed that I could get the exact color if I went to Porters ...which I simply thought was an Australian shop. Thanks for you excellent customer service though. This is not going to beat me.
I know you're using muslin cloth but the one I got does not look like the one in the video it almost looks like cheese cloth can you send link with one you're using please!
Please sir, if you could come to my house and paint my walls, or just read the phone book while you gaze into my eyes, I sure would appreciate it. Thanks. The wall is gorgeous, can't wait to try this!!

I might try this with a glycerine extender
This was awesome thank you. Does it work the same with acrylic paint?
Muslin cloth.

Hi master Thank you for your detail explaining. Could you let me know French wash is special paint name or name of technique? I really want know?😊
Hi there - French Wash is a special paint made by Porter's Paints. "Ragging" is the name of the technique. Hope this helps.
@@PortersPaintsRUclips thank you so much
Cool thanks 🎉
Very nice
What can you do with the other walls if you have a large room and can’t do all the walls. What do you recommend for making sure the walls blend in to each other? Could you use the base coat as the main color for the rest of the walls.
If i wanted to have the blue gray color, what would be the color combination?tnx
Difference between French and lime wash please?
Zoolander's got a paint color out. Blue steel!
is French wash and lime wash the same with one difference and that is the muslin to create the effect?
Can u also do the colours in reverse like base darker and top colour lighter
Hi! Do i need to plaster the wall before painting if it already has some texture?
Following
Do you import to the US? I’ve been searching for these paints and it looks like they are only sold in Australia
glaze paint available at homedepo or other paint suppliers
Great video....thanks so much!
What's the color of this paint?I love it
Excelent
Would this be good for exterior house wall
I love this
I completed my French Wash. It came out darker then I like. How do you lighten it up?
Start over. Unfortunately that’s the correct answer. You could add some white and a little glaze to the paint and try to redo the French wash part, if you are extremely lucky it will look layered and pretty.
brilliant. appreciate you.
I would like to ask you if your products are chalk paints? Thank you for your reply.
This is great but can this be done with regular paints over here in the US. I can't drop $200 on paint.

Would it look terrible to use a dark base and a light wash or glaze?
Fantastic
Aren't there VOC's with acrylic paint?
I wish you would have explained what French wash actually is.
You mean how it got the name? Because in the video you see step by step instructions what French washing is.
@@lucebzentic6875 no he's saying it's a certain paint
French wash is the technique.
I believe is done with glazed
It's the technique. It has nothing to do with "a certain paint."

Can you do this finish on a wall without putting a new base coat if the wall is already the base coat color you want?
That's what I am wondering
I think how the two paints interact is key, I.e., if it's not the right combination the 2nd layer might wipe off too much and the effect is too subtle. I'd test a small area first.
veri nice
What is the colour you use , gorgeous
Hello, where can i get all the supplies needed to get your result? Im in europe
Gorgeous
Very clear and useful!
Would rolling a clear gloss or high gloss over this after it's cured make it shine like a Venetian plaster?
What's the difference from stain wall painting. Looks the same
Looks very nice. Thank you!
wow nice 🙂
I wanted rubble in French wash. Couldn't get it.
Please explain why?

Did you say what a French Wash was? Otherwise it seems like old fashioned rag painting?
Hi my friend
Great work I am really like your
how to contact
I know you're using muslin cloth but the one I got does not look like the one in the video it almost looks like cheese cloth can you send link with one you're using please!
Porters paint shops sell the muslin cloth in pkts.
Can you do a second coat? My first coat has obvious lines each time I started a new section.
Since your comment is 4 months old you are probably done with it. If not you can definitely go 2-3 layers for the texture you want.
thanks soo much !
What color did you used
Interior only, correct?
Pretty sure it is interior only but you could do the exact same thing outside using the proper paint.
Please sir, if you could come to my house and paint my walls, or just read the phone book while you gaze into my eyes, I sure would appreciate it. Thanks. The wall is gorgeous, can't wait to try this!!
nice one, thanks
🎉
Thanks its really amazing, just question please where we can buy this product we are in Australia thanks
Hi Adam, most Inspirations Paint stores sell Porter's range. There should be a store close by to you.
Excelente
Is it water resistant
Where can I buy the muslin in the USA
Sydney Harbour Paint Company can assist you in the US.
Спасибо.

This guy is so handsome.
He’s gay tho… good for us guys
Man....wear gloves. Looks awesome
does this leave a textured feel on the wall? what if you wanted to paint over this again?
No, it's smooth and flat with no build-up, so it's just a matter of painting straight over it.
Scooter =D
