How to paint carpet if you have no embossing powder

[durangod]

I dont have embossing powder or a sifter so how can i do carpet. Carpet will match dash color or similar shade, or the grey color shown.

Good video but is there another way?

They're flocking materials and they come in a variety of colors. You paint the floor, add the flocking material immediately and let stand to dry. Once dried, shake off excess and return to container.

No there isn't a alternative way. Painting on top of flocking material will soak them down. That's why you paint first, then immediately add the flocking material. It's not all that complicated or hard to do. Too easy, even a caveman can do it.

Sorry rewatched video, ok now i get it,embossing powder or flocking powder.
Flocking powder also has particles for grass and snow simulation. Embossing powder is mostly used to make custom glitter greeting cards and invitations or stationary.

Do i get superfine or just normal size?

Before I started using flocking, I used to paint the floors with a "flat" paint and it generally looked OK.

@athabascamaverick
I was thinking maybe using a poking action with stiff brush to make dimples or even something course that can make a pattern. But i ordered some powder so ill go back and add it later.

Bed area is not done working on it now. Im trying to decide if i want a star or the word Texas on the blanket

here is a test using a piece of foam insulation. i think if it made more defined peaks and valleys it would look better.



And here is a test with a pokey brush. With a light background the pattern can be seen but its far from acceptable. Poking the brush really does nothing much in the painted surface because the paint i guess is self leveling and smoothes out, which is great if you are not trying to do a pattern lol
