Step 1: Preparation and priming

Good preparation is essential for a professional result:

• Read the technical data sheet for BRUUT thoroughly.
• Protect floors, furniture, and other surfaces by carefully taping them off.
• Use a tinted primer to keep BRUUT's subtle color nuances visible.

Step 2: Applying BRUUT paint

Tools: BRUUT Roller and BRUUT Spatula

• Apply an even layer of BRUUT paint, approximately 1 mm thick, with the BRUUT Roller.
• Neatly line the edges with the BRUUT Spatula.
• Let the paint dry for 15-30 minutes, but ensure the surface is still damp before moving on to the next step. Drying time depends on the substrate and temperature.

Step 3: Creating texture

Tools: Anza spreader for BRUUT

• Use the Anza spreader to gently glide over the surface and create the desired texture.
• Work in different directions to achieve a natural-looking texture. The small 'pits' that form create the basis of the stony appearance.
• Allow the paint to dry for 48 hours before the next step.

• Apply a thin layer of paint and immediately scrape it off with the Anza spreader. This creates the perfect scrape coat and gives the surface a natural, sleek look.
