5.0 out of 5 stars WallMagic Kit, July 31, 2007

I used the WallMagic RagRollers. I couldn't believe how easy it was and how professional the results. I highly recommend practicing on extra drywall or behind the fridge until you get the effect that you like. Corners and edges are tricky and have to be done by hand. It was well worth the effort and I love the results.

This is a good product, and it gives good results. I have found it to be simpler/easier and produces better results than every other faux finish product/technique I've tried. However, it does take some practice and some effort.

The rollers fit tightly side-to-side in the tray. That results in uneven paint pick-up/coverage across the width of the roller. The way I got around this is to pour a smaller amount of paint into the tray and make sure it stays in the middle. The result is the edges of of the rollers aren't noticeable on the wall, and it looks more natural and blended.

I tried both regular rollers and marbled (Tuscan) rollers. I had better results with the regular rollers, and you can get those inexpensively at any paint store.

The instruction disc that came with the set is helpful since you can see some demonstrations, but practice is still necessary to know how much paint to get on the rollers, how much pressure to apply, and the best combination of stroke length and angles.

I first discovered the WallMagic kit about 10+ years ago. We have built 3 houses and have painted them ourselves. I LOVE the WallMagic kit!!! It is super easy to use and gives a beautiful marbled finish. I am a very detail oriented person (perfectionist) and the WallMagic kit produces outstanding results. I frequently get comments on the beauty of the walls. Most people think it is wallpaper, because it looks so professionally done. My only advice is don't go over the same area too much or you lose the marble effect. I like it better than other similiar products on the market today. My only problem with it was that no stores in my area carry it anymore. WHY? Thank goodness I found it on Amazon. I was getting poor results from other products, but the WallMagic kit arrived a couple of weeks ago and saved the day!
