This thing is pretty cool. Redid our kitchen and  was going to do a white paper bag type flooring, but white is not a great color to try and do a paper flooring with because you cant see any variations as you do with a colored paper, and because the white paper becomes see through once the water and glue is added which makes seeing whatever is underneath (including the other pieces of white paper overlapping which looks like complete poo).

That being said, some people decided to paint the entire floor white, But that just looked to plain and blah. When we added faux grout lines using paint pens to simulate a white tile look. But it wasn't even the slightest convincing of being real tile because of the lighting and shading you would see on real tile wasn't there.

 Repaint over some of the fake tile lines to make them into bigger slats / planks, and then used a variation of a lighter grey paint (very close to off white) with random streaks of a slightly darker grey (to give diversity across the faux planks) and I got to say...it turned out pretty amazing.

A lot of people practice before they start. Some people don't have patience and just jumped right in. Took  a plank or 2 to get into the groove and they only had to go back and fix the first plank slightly since then. So it wasn't the end of the world to get used too for me. So we wouldn't get overwhelmed about having to practice first, but it would definitely help if you happen to have patience.

Wood grain in reality is very diverse. So even messing (which we did often) still seems to look natural. What we noticed more than anything is that its more about the combination of paints / colors and layers which can make or break it. We first went too dark of a grey over the white and it looked very fake. starting over with a very light grey with only darker random streaks of grey made it look more realistic.

Some people maybe seen a video with a guy using a full on round roller with his hands. I think that would have worked much better then this quarter round grain on a stick method and I would have preferred the one he was using. But like I said, it still turned out great.
