Update on my building progress:
Started painting one of my Hallmark houses. (have 3 that cost $8.00 each).
The roof is almost done.
The roof and building were scrubbed with a scotch brite # 7447, then washed/wiped in a lacquer thinner.
After it dried I sprayed both side of the roof and the building portion with the Rustoleum etching primer. Next step was to spray the building windows and the underside of the roof white. This is for the window and roof eves.
I masked the areas under the roof where it would be visible when on then I sprayed the roofs peak and scroll work copper to resemble copper work.
The Rustoleum copper paint is very thin and need to have a slow build up so it will not run
After this copper paint dried I masked those area and sprayed a Rustoleum multi color texture paint for the roof areas.
This texture paint come out real fast and I did one side of the roof making sure it was flat so it would not run.
Once dried I gave it a slight mist with the spray. It almost looks like a sandpaper.
Nest step is to start masking the widow trim to keep it white. Some of this should be done by next week. The building will be sprayed with Light blue and the gable portion will be in a darker blue (Light blue shutters).
In doing this with all the masking, it is best to have the paint completely dry before masking.
I will be adding a chimney and will post a some info on how I will mount it. The chimney will be painted with a gray type texture paint.
This is my first of the 3 buildings that I have, I will be doing some modifications on the next
By the way this texture paint could be used in different landscaping applications
