A P Royale Play

Royale Play is a range of texture and special-effect finishes rather than a paint you roll on. Stucco gives a trowelled Venetian plaster look; Metallics a brushed pearl or bronze sheen; Stellato a fine sparkle; Verderame an aged-copper verdigris. All are applied with a trowel, sponge, comb or specialist brush, in layers.

Buy this on the understanding that the result depends almost entirely on the applicator, not the tin. A trained Royale Play applicator produces a wall people photograph. An ordinary painter improvising produces a mess that has to be sanded back and re-puttied. If you do not already have an applicator, ask us before you buy; we know who in Delhi does this properly.
