Question

Can you mix paint in with drywall compound and then roll on wall with heavy matted roller?

Answer 1

You could try.If your wanting a plaster effect you can also buy a paint which has that effect.Here in NZ it comes under the Resene brand. You do have to take care putting it on.

Answer 2

Sometimes drywall compound cracks.  I would try it on a small space and see how it works.

Answer 3

you can but it will dry alot lighter than the color appears when wet.

there are many texture additives most paint stores carry that will give better results. if you just want the appearance of thick paint you should add a 'line thickener' instead.

Answer 4

shore nuff you can.but you can pick up a nylon roller cover made for that try it on a piece of wood or cardboard till you get your texture right then go for it roll the same everywhere(LEFT RIGHT UP DOWN)in 3x3 or 4 ft sections to keep the same pattern and good coverage or you will have thin spots and heavy spots and i usually dont stop because tomarrow you r pattern will be different...later

Answer 5

Only if you want a "crackle finish" in about a week. If you want texture, buy texture paint.
