Wil’s Plaid Wall

Well here it is… the plaid wall that I’ve been working on for the last few weeks. It took a lot of work and about 5 rolls of masking tape but I am rather pleased with the final result. Which is more…. Wil loves it.

How to paint a plaid wall…..

1: Paint your base color (blue)
(let dry)

2: Tape off in both directions with 2 inch tape, leaving 4 inch squares… paint your square color (green)
(let dry and peel tape)

3: Using 1 inch tape, tape off for double stripes in one direction here the gap I left overlapped both the green squares and blue lines so that the red would hide the transition. Paint with the double line color (red)
(let dry and peel tape)

4: Repeat step 3 in the other direction
(let dry and peel tape)

5: Using 1 inch tape, now tape off for the single stripes in one direction. Line this stripe up with the middle of the green squares. Paint with the single line color (yellow)
(let dry and peel tape)

6: Repeat step 5 in the other direction
(let dry and peel tape)

7: Using four small art brushes and 4 small containers of paint (one of each color) touch up anywhere that needs it.
