BCL Graffiato: Application Basics for a Consistent Finish

Graffiato is a premium textured finish. These are the steps our training masterclass covers — from substrate to final reveal.

BCL Graffiato delivers a natural stone effect that clients notice immediately. The finish looks effortless when applied correctly — and uneven when corners are cut on prep or timing.

The three phases that matter

  • Base coat: level the wall and seal porosity before texture goes on.
  • Graffiato application: maintain wet edge and consistent trowel pressure.
  • Reveal: scrape at the right window — too early or too late changes the pattern.

We run hands-on Graffiato training with OlaCrownArts in Accra. If your painters are new to textured finishes, the masterclass pays for itself on the first project.
