Stencil Wall Design with MacoAvell: Velplas Base + Vellcco Stencil Pattern + Two-Tone Metallic Wax Finish

If you love the look of luxury textured walls but want something more artistic and customised, stencil wall finishes are a perfect choice. With MacoAvell Velplas as the base, Vellcco for the stencil pattern, and a two-tone metallic wax finish, you can create a statement wall that feels handcrafted, elegant, and one-of-a-kind—ideal for feature walls in living rooms, bedrooms, reception counters, cafés, boutiques, and show units.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step stencil application process for a clean pattern, strong definition, and a metallic finish that catches light beautifully from different angles.

Why This MacoAvell Stencil System Works

This stencil combination is popular because each layer plays a clear role:

Velplas (Base Layer): Creates a smooth, consistent foundation so the stencil pattern appears sharp and even.
Vellcco (Stencil Pattern Layer): Builds the raised or defined stencil texture and forms the design detail.
Two-Tone Metallic Wax (Finishing Layer): Adds depth, shine, and dimension—highlighting the stencil edges and creating a premium “designer wall” look.

Materials & Tools You’ll Need

Materials

MacoAvell Velplas (base)
MacoAvell Vellcco (stencil texture)
MacoAvell Metallic Wax (choose 2 colours for a two-tone effect)
Clean water (for tools)

Tools

Stainless steel trowel/spatula
Stencil sheet (repeat pattern design)
Masking tape (to secure stencil)
Sponge / small trowel/palette knife (for stencil application)
Soft cloth or sponge for wax
Polisher + foam pad (optional for stronger sheen)
Sandpaper / abrolon (optional for refinement, depending on effect)

Step-by-Step: How to Apply Stencil Texture with Two-Tone Metallic Wax

Step 1: Prepare the Wall Surface

A perfect stencil finish starts with proper preparation.

Ensure the wall is dry, clean, and free of dust, oil, or loose paint.
Repair imperfections and smooth out uneven areas.
Apply a suitable sealer/primer based on your wall condition (especially for new plaster or powdery surfaces).

Pro tip: A stable, sealed surface helps the stencil edges stay crisp.

Step 2: Apply the Velplas Base Layer

Velplas creates a uniform canvas for your stencil pattern.

Load a small amount of Velplas onto the trowel.
Apply an even layer across the wall (work in manageable sections).
Maintain consistent pressure to keep the base texture balanced.
Allow it to fully dry.

If a second base coat is needed (for smoother coverage or stronger body), apply another thin layer and let it dry completely.

Step 3: Position & Secure the Stencil

Align your stencil on the wall (start from a straight reference line).
Use masking tape to secure all edges so it doesn’t shift.
Check spacing and pattern repetition before applying Vellcco.

Pro tip: Mark light guideline points to keep the stencil pattern straight across large walls.

Step 4: Apply Vellcco Over the Stencil (Create the Pattern)

This is where your design forms.

Place a small amount of Vellcco on a palette knife or small trowel.
Apply Vellcco over the stencil openings using gentle, controlled strokes.
Avoid overloading—too much material can seep under the stencil and blur the pattern.
Smooth lightly so the thickness remains consistent across the design.

Step 5: Carefully Remove the Stencil

Remove the stencil slowly while the Vellcco is still workable (not fully hardened).
Peel back at an angle to avoid lifting the texture.
Let the stencil pattern dry completely.

Pro tip: If you’re repeating patterns, clean excess material from the stencil regularly for sharper edges.

Step 6: Repeat the Pattern Across the Wall

Move to the next section:

Align the stencil with the previous pattern using the stencil’s registration points (if available).
Secure it again and repeat Steps 4–5 until the full wall is complete.
Place some vellcco on the trowel and tap it on the stencil application

Allow the entire wall to fully dry before waxing.

Two-Tone Metallic Wax Finish (Luxury Highlight Effect)

Step 7: Prepare Two Metallic Wax Colours

Choose two complementary metallic wax colours (examples):

Gold + Champagne
Silver + Pearl White
Bronze + Copper
Emerald + Graphite (for a modern bold look)

You can keep the two tones distinct or slightly blend them depending on the final style you want.

Step 8: Apply the First Metallic Wax Tone (Base Sheen)

Use a soft cloth or sponge.
Apply a thin layer of the first wax colour across the surface.
Focus on filling the low areas gently while maintaining a smooth application.

Let it set slightly (follow product working time based on site conditions).

Step 9: Apply the Second Metallic Wax Tone (Highlight the Stencil)

Use a clean cloth or sponge (or a small trowel for stronger highlights).
Apply the second wax colour lightly, mainly over the raised stencil pattern.
Use minimal pressure so the highlights stay on the stencil design and don’t overpower the base.

Pro tip: The best two-tone effect comes from “less is more”—thin layers build depth naturally.

Step 10: Blend & Refine the Finish

To achieve that premium layered look:

Blend gently where the tones meet to create a soft transition, or
Keep edges sharper for a more graphic stencil effect.

Optional:

Light polishing with a foam pad can enhance the metallic shine and give a smoother, luxe finish.

Final Result: A Custom Designer Feature Wall

Once complete, your stencil wall will show:

A clean, repeated pattern with depth (from Vellcco)
A refined base texture (from Velplas)
A high-end metallic glow and layered dimension (from two-tone metallic wax)

This finish works beautifully under spotlighting, warm lighting, and natural daylight—changing character as the angle of light shifts.
