Prepare and prime the surface to be painted according to can directions.
Apply a base coat and allow to dry.
Dip a natural sponge into water to expand it. Squeeze out any excess moisture leaving the sponge damp.
Pour a small amount of paint used for the next coat into a shallow container.
Put on your painting gloves and dip the sponge sparingly into the paint and blot excess paint from the sponge with a paper towel.
This is the fun part! Apply the sponge paint randomly to the surface, varying the angle of the sponge.
Rinse the sponge in clean water occasionally to assure clear prints.
Repeat steps 4 - 6 until desired area is covered.
