Step 1: Prep the Room

Prep the room by taping windows, doors and moldings with painter's tape.

Place the drop cloth on the floor.

Tape the adjoining wall with masking paper.

Step 2: Apply the Base Coat

Apply a base coat on walls and allow to dry.

Apply a darker color top coat up to the point where you would like the sunburst effect to start. Work in sections, painting about four feet at a time.

Paint colors used for base coat: Kelly Moore Brandy Cream (BM-1B1030)

Step 3: Apply the Glaze

Add three parts glaze to one part of the darker latex paint color to create a top coat glaze.

Apply top coat glaze about 6" above the section.

Paint color used for top coat: Kelly Moore: Spice Pumpkin (BM-4B) Classic

Step 4: Stipple the Glaze

Stipple the glaze with the stippling brush while paint is still wet, moving from the bottom of the glaze toward the top of the ceiling.

Step 5: Blend the Paint

Use a cloth to blend the paint and even out the effect.
