parts water to 125 parts colored pigments and or dyes in the example of a sand colored texture it has been discovered that a mixture of 100 parts water to 125 parts acrylic based paint provides an optimum look and feel the pigment or dyes used in this step may include a number of commercially available products e g dryvit u00ae color primer or benjamin moore u00ae acrylic paint this pigment or dye solution is preferably applied with a u201c stacato u201d or rapidly flinging or irregular motion the application of this solution is also preferably applied under a selected pressure and at a selected distance between the means of application and the front 4 of panel 2 the impact of the pigment or dye solution on the wet first textured coating results in a wide dispersal of the pigment into a wide variety of shapes the size and configuration of these shapes is determined by a number of factors including the pressure at which the pigment is applied the viscosity of the pigment and the distance of the surface 4 of panel 2 from the means of application the application of the pigment onto the wet surface also results in a u201c bleeding u201d of the pigment solution into muted color tones tints and contrasts each of the variables may be altered again depending on the pressure of application the viscosity of the mixture and the distance of the means of application to the front surface 4 of panel 2 a second textured coating is next applied to the substrate this second textured coating may again be comprised of a mixture of one or more of aggregate sand silica quartz crystals and a 100 acrylic binder this coating is preferably.
