Plastic finishing provides actual texture, which in most forms of wall decorations is only stimulated through colour manipulation, and at best is only partially attained in rough or sand finish plaster. The relief effects produced with plastic paint materials, coloured, bronzed or glazed as may be desired, and the ceaseless changing of the shadows and highlights, provide never-ending interest.
