In this DIY you can see how to make a faux brick panel wall using Polystyrene foam, a foam cutter, wood glue, a sponge applicator, a soldering iron or gun, a wood panel, some old newspapers, pen,ruler, black granite paint, and grey primer. You basically just cut the foam, glue it onto the panel, paint an undercoat first they spray on the Krylon textured aerosol spray. This is a very easy and inexpensive technique that allows for some pretty low cost, innovative decorating. This textured spray paint is not very waterproof so plan your project on surfaces that will not be affected by moisture. Some projects have been done outdoors, but the results seem to vary in regards to just how waterproof it is. This is a product that is best suited for indoor projects. If you are in an industry, where you have to make sets or where you are needing to build 'props', this spray paint is a quick way to achieve certain affects. Because it is just a textured paint if you move things around a lot, you do need to be careful with the handling and moving items you paint so you don't end up damaging the surface. One of the biggest drawbacks from purchasing this product online is that the paint colors are not depicted very accurately on line, but if you are buying from a store and get to see the lids first hand, you will get a better idea of what the finished spray paint will look like. You can use this product to spray over old wooden furniture to create a granite look as well as on planters, picture frames and even lamps. It is advisable to use a spray on sealer with this product as well. There are 9 color choices you can choose from so if you are doing some accent pieces for your home, like a vase or lamp, check out the color options available.
