Application

1. Apply the base coat according to label instructions. 2. Apply Iridescent Glaze as outlined in the Valspar® Signature Colors® Faux How-to Guide. 3. Protect your decorative finish with Valspar® Signature Colors® Faux Clear Protector. Allow glaze to cure one week before applying clear coating.
