Coral Decora Marble Effect in Dark Tone (Meditação)
Dark tones favor shine and effect in the Coral Decora marble finish. See the application steps and technical data for the Meditação shade.
Darker colors favor the effect and the shine achieved through the lamination technique in Coral Decora Efeitos Especiais Mármore. Meditação, a dark shade in the line, tends to deliver a more dramatic result than a light tone when finished the same way.

Technical data
Composition: modified acrylic resin, inert pigments, coalescents, aliphatic hydrocarbons, surfactants, thickeners, aqueous ammonia solution, biocides and water. Solids by volume 37.20% to 39.90%; specific gravity 1.312 to 1.372 g/cm³; VOC 19.43 g/L; flash point not applicable.
How to create the effect
Apply 1 to 2 coats of a premium acrylic paint in the same or similar color as a base. With a rounded-corner stainless steel trowel, apply a thin even layer and wait 4 hours before applying small amounts in random movements to build the marble pattern. Finish with lamination: hold the trowel at 45 degrees or less, pressing and sliding repeatedly over the same spot. In Meditação, this step tends to produce more visible shine than in light tones. For extra shine, apply carnauba wax with a soft cloth in circular movements.

FAQ
Does Meditação produce more shine than a light color?
Yes, darker colors favor the effect and the shine achieved through the lamination step.
Do I need wax to get shine on this shade?
Carnauba wax is optional and adds extra shine, but the lamination technique with the trowel already produces shine, more visible in dark tones like this one.
How many coats does this effect need?
2 to 3, which can vary depending on the desired intensity; there is no fixed number set per specific color.
Can I repeat the effect step to make the tone look darker?
The recommendation is to repeat the random-movement application if a more pronounced effect is desired, which also intensifies the color.
How long between the base layer and the marble effect step?
Wait 4 hours after the thin, even layer before applying the random-movement application.
Does a dark tone need a different tool?
No. The same rounded-corner stainless steel trowel is recommended for any color in the line.
Can I clean the wall right after finishing?
Not recommended. Avoid contact with water for the first 28 days after application.
Is this shade available ready-mixed?
No. It is only offered in the tintometric system, with a shelf life of up to 6 months from the tinting date.
