Primer: Paint the wall with frienzeprimer™ using a roller for larger spaces and a brush for the edges. Make sure to properly dilute the frienzecolor™ primer by adding 30% water. It's okay if this looks a bit transparent when it goes on. Allow to dry for 1-2 hours.
Preparing the Archi: Mix Archi+ Concrete plaster in a bucket with about 30% water. it doesn't need to be exact, but you're looking for a soft, but not liquid consistency. You may add more water if necessary.
Topcoat: Trowel the material over the surface with total coverage, using the tool to create slight texture. You may use different tools to create a distressed look by dragging them through or stippling out some areas. Allow your texture to dry about 75%, or for about 15 minutes in most cases, then use the trowel to press down the high spots in the texture, which should still be soft, while the thinner, low spots have dried a bit more. This will make the heavier areas smoother, and leave the recessed rough, which refines the texture and allows the surface to be receptive to the color washes in a more natural way.
Color Wash: After surface is dry. Use a wet sponge, dip into the Fase Silossanica color wash and with random, circular motions, begin applying to the entire wall surface. Have a bucket of water nearby so you may dip the sponge occasionally to re-wet. You may use water to wash or rub out some areas and make them lighter in tone. Overall the entire wall is important, but some variation can be a good thing as well.
Dry Time: Wait 30 minutes to 40 minutes to apply 2nd coat, then use a special trowel for texture after 15-20 minutes, then burnish, then allow to dry 24 hours before colour washing with Fase Silossanica as recommended to dilute
Apply: Using Stainless Steel Trowel
