How/Can you splatter paint on walls as a faux finish?
I agree with Steven W. I've had many years in design and lots of experience with most of the Faux Finishes (at least once). Regardless of the method you use, a drop cloth is essential, and make sure anything not removed from the room is covered as well (including windows, etc). To try to "throw" paint on the wall is going to leave an irregular and splotchy mess and I don't think you'll be happy with the results. A slapstick will help keep the pattern more uniform thus also giving you more control assuring most of the paint you're paying for hits the wall and not the floor behind or around you.
Depending on the effect you're trying for, we do use one of those giant water guns to create a "paintball" effect on my grandson's wall. It's almost necessary to have several on hand unless you want to completely clean it out after using each color. We also found that to get the true "fight" effect, it's necessary to vary which colors overlap one another, which requires a little drying time in between some colors. Gotta say it was an interesting afternoon, but fun.
