After doing the entire patch up work on the wall, apply the first base coat using the brush or roller and wait till it dries up. Then dip the paint sponges in the first sponge colour and gently press and move the sponge in the opposite direction to get the spotted effect.

Once the base coat and the first coat are finished, start applying the second sponge color. The first and the second sponge color should be of the same sheen as the base colour. Please try to concentrate the second sponge coat on those areas where the first sponge coat is less.
