Base Preparation: Apply two coats of the recommended base color and allow it to dry completely for at least 4 hours.
Application Method: Apply the Velvet Gold finish using a specialized Momento spatula or trowel in a random, "criss-cross" or "S-shape" motion to create the velvet effect.

Base Coat (2 Coats): Nippon Momento Primer (in the specific color matching the Velvet Gold series).

Structural Integrity: Ensure the wall is structurally sound and free from cracks; use a suitable interior filler to level any imperfections.
Surface Purity: The substrate must be clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, grease, or old peeling paint before starting the priming process.
Moisture Control: Verify that the wall’s moisture content is below 16% and the alkalinity level is below pH 9 to prevent pigment discoloration.
Sanding: Lightly sand the base coat if there are any visible ridges to ensure the Velvet Gold finish lays flat and maintains its fabric-like appearance.
Ambient Conditions: Apply in a well-ventilated, dust-free indoor environment to ensure the metallic particles settle correctly without contamination.
