For optimal results, we highly recommend using Hemway buffing pads as part of your glitter paint project. After the paint has fully dried, gently rub the surface with the buffing pad to release an even more dazzling sparkle, enhancing the glitter’s reflective properties. This final step helps to create a more intense, luxurious finish that will make your walls truly stand out. The buffing process is easy to perform and significantly amplifies the overall shimmer effect, making your project look professionally polished.
