Painting ideas?

Question

I have really textured walls and I was wondering if there were any unique/different paint techniques or ideas that I could try (something other than sponge painting), that I wouldn't havr to paint solid color.

Or does anyone have experience with spray guns. Can you reccommend any cheap ones and where I can get one....is it possible something I could rent. Thanks!!

Answer 1

If you're artsy at all, and have the time, you could just paint something from your mind or print out a picture from the internet and paint it on your wall.  It would be something creative and personal, as well.

Answer 2

Try rolling on two colors wet on wet.  This faux painting technique works well with a textured wall.  The technique goes by different names "double roller technique" is one name.  The overall look is a mottled finish.  It is best to use one darker color with one lighter color (or white). The paint is applied with two separate wool rollers.  See this link for more detailed information on how to do this one: http://www.paintinganddecoratingconcours...
