Terms & Conditions:Paint color charts on this page are only to be used as reference. Depending on display settings, monitors can distort paint colors making them appear lighter, darker or different than the actual product will be. All colors made will match the original Ralph Lauren color chips.
We can tint this product to Ralph Lauren colors. We recommend painting wall to wall on areas that need touch ups because there can be slight differences in sheen and texture between the two manufacturers.
Custom colors are available with a $10 custom fee per color on first order of said color.
Here's what you'll need for your brushed suede project:
Base Coat: A flat wall paint in the desired color
Topcoat: GranitePaint Suede
Tools: Paint trays and liners, 2" paint brush, mini roller (foam or 1/2" nap roller cover), 9" roller (foam or 1/2" nap roller cover), and frame, 4" synthetic bristle brush
Application Instructions
Step 1: Before painting, make sure walls are clean dull and dry.
Tip: Applying a coordinating base coat color in a flat finish will aid in coverage.
Step 2: Pour Suede into a paint tray. Starting at the top corner of the wall, generously cut in 18" strips across the ceiling edge and down the corner with a brush. Texture the wet paint by rolling over it with the mini roller.
Tip: Before the first stroke, load roller with paint, then roll it off on newspaper until roller is almost dry. Priming the roller makes it ideal for texturing and won't remove the brushed-on paint.
Step 3: Using the 9" roller, apply Suede to the 18" x 18" area that has been cut in. Continue to cut in and roll 18" sections all the way down the wall, reloading the roller for each section. When the column is complete, follow with a light ceiling-to-floor sweep without reloading the roller. Repeat process across the entire wall. Allow 4 hours to dry. It is normal for the first coat to look somewhat uneven. This will be corrected with the second coat.
Step 4: Apply the second coat of Suede with a 4" synthetic bristle brush in a crisscross pattern of overlapping X's over the entire surface. Use large sweeping motions and blend to create an irregular, mottled appearance. Avoid making small, well-defined X's. When dry, your wall will have the appearance of soft, hand-brushed suede.

Suede Paint/Ralph Lauren Color
People said IMPOSSIBLE! You made the repair of a wall painted 10 years ago happen. Granite Paint service was excellent. Product and color to match to old Ralph Lauren paint? ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Thank you.

Suede Paint
My order was delivered promptly and correctly. I am very happy with this company and do recommend them. Not to mention they had the coolest little safety clips on the top of the paint can to ensure it didn’t open in transit.

Very pleased!
I was desperate for Ralph Lauren Palomino Suede paint. I used it years ago and just loved it! Mike at Granite Paint came through for me! The paint looks fabulous! I get so many compliments. I ended up doing 3 coats for complete coverage. If I was to use it again from scratch I would do a base coat of a matching regular paint then I would only need the two coats of suede. Also, instead of using a paint brush I used the Pro Edge pad painter to do the top coat texturing. My texturing is more curved and broader but it was much easier on my wrist and it made blending easier. I love this paint so much I purchased a can of the Mochernut to put a fresh top coat on my living room walls.

Suede Gallon Paint
I did not like the color. It was not what I was expecting. But, the sales rep was very helpful and that counts for something.
