Recently, I was asked to paint a Copper Metallic faux finish over an orange peel textured ceiling. In order for it to work I needed to make the texture an Imperfect Smooth finish. This texture is required for many different faux finishes.
The Imperfect Smooth texture is being used in many new homes and has been for the past several years. Orange peel textured walls were predominant before then. Many people are updating their orange peel textured walls to Imperfect Smooth now. Sometimes creating a feature wall like the wall around the fireplace. Other times it's done on a ceiling. The Imperfect Smooth texture is necessary for many faux finishes often seen on feature walls. So if you're up to it, here's how to do it.
