Indigo Rustic Texture Finish – Gold Series (Premium Wall Texture)

Indigo Rustic Texture Finish: Durable, Textured Finish for Walls

Transform plain walls into elegant, Mediterranean-style surfaces with Indigo Rustic Texture Finish. This high-build, ready-to-use plaster is specifically designed to create a rustic, coarse texture that beautifully masks minor wall imperfections and hairline cracks. Ideal for both exterior facades and interior feature walls, this wall texture provides a durable, long-lasting coating that instantly upgrades your home’s aesthetic appeal.

The unique formulation of Indigo Rustic Texture Finish ensures superior adhesion and excellent resistance to weathering. When properly sealed with a topcoat of Asian Paints Apex or other high-quality exterior emulsion, the texture provides a robust shield against rain and sun, ensuring the decorative effect lasts for years.

How to Apply Indigo Rustic Texture Finish

Achieving the desired rustic effect requires specific tools and technique:

1. Surface Prep: Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and primed with a coat of Indigo Wall Primer or Asian Paints TruCare Primer. Let it cure completely.
2. Application: Apply the Indigo Rustic Texture Finish paste using a steel trowel or putty knife. Spread it evenly to the required thickness (usually 1-3mm).
3. Pattern Creation: While the texture is still wet (within 30 minutes), create the desired pattern (e.g., circular, vertical, or random) using the edge of the trowel, a roller, or a stiff brush.
4. Drying: Allow the texture to dry fully for 24 hours. The texture must be completely hard before painting.
5. Topcoat & Sealing: Apply 2-3 coats of your chosen topcoat, such as a durable Apex Ultima exterior paint, to seal the texture and provide colour. Learn more about professional plaster texturing techniques.
