painting Ornamental Plaster:
Ornamental Plaster Designs can be easily painted. there are three basic methods to paint crown moldings:
1. spray paint (easiest) usually one color.
2. ornamental cornice can be painted in different colors using a brush.
3. a more unique method which makes cornice look aged/antique. this is only for ornamental cornice. basically you spray water based paint on ornaments and immediately wipe off the paint with a cloth. what happens is the deeper parts of cornice don't get wiped off, giving it contrast.
