Painting Tuffcoat (commonly used as a textured floor/wall finish in East Africa, often for exterior walls or parking decks) can be easy and fast if you follow the right steps. Here's the easiest and most efficient method:

✅ WHAT YOU NEED:
Tuffcoat paint (e.g., Crown Tuffcoat, Duracoat Tuffcoat, etc.)

Textured roller (called a “tuffcoat roller” or "rough surface roller")

4-inch or 2-inch brush for edges

Water (for thinning & cleaning)

Protective gear (mask, gloves)

Sandpaper or wire brush (for surface prep)

Primer (if needed, depending on surface)

Bucket and stick for mixing

🎨 SIMPLE STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS:
1. Surface Preparation (Most Important!)
Clean the surface: Remove dust, grease, algae, or loose paint.

If the wall is new, allow plaster to cure for at least 21–28 days.

For repainting, sand off loose paint and apply a primer if needed.

Damp but not wet surfaces are OK, but avoid water running on the surface.

2. Mix the Tuffcoat Well
Open the container and stir thoroughly with a stick or drill mixer.

Add a little water (about 5–10%) if it's too thick – but don’t over-thin.

Mix again until smooth and consistent.

3. Cutting In (Edges & Corners)
Use a brush to paint the edges, corners, and around pipes or fixtures.

This avoids missing spots when rolling.

4. Roll It On
Use a textured roller or tuffcoat roller.

Dip it in the paint and roll evenly on the wall.

Roll in one direction, then go crosswise for good coverage and texture.

Don’t press too hard—let the roller texture do the work.

5. Second Coat (Optional but Recommended)
Wait 4–6 hours (or as per manufacturer) before applying the second coat.

Roll again lightly. This improves durability and texture.

6. Clean Up
Wash tools with water immediately after use.

Store leftover paint tightly sealed.

🧠 PRO TIPS:
Avoid painting in direct sunlight or heavy wind—it dries too fast and cracks.

Don’t apply if it’s about to rain.

Use tuffcoat primer for best results on raw concrete or dusty walls.

If using Tuffcoat Plus or other variants, check instructions—they vary slightly.
