@@kscheuerman5378 I absolutely love it. I have painted two rentals TriCorn Black Matt Sherwin Williams just an accent wall behind my bed. The rest of the room I painted Amazing Grey Sherwin Williams, the color looks more taupe or a greige. The first rental house the owner loved it so he left it painted. The 2nd I'm not sure I never heard one way or the other. I'm in a high rise now downsized all my kids are grown and starting there own family. I have this enormous one bedroom and you make me miss my signature black accent wall. My bedroom is so big I didn't want to paint and then would have to paint it back neutral. You gave me a wonderful idea, thanks for the tutorial.

Wow! This is a gr8 idea and looks phenomenal! Question: how did you keep the edges smooth since you used scissors to cut? Oh and, can velcro be used instead of tape and how did you figure out the size of the panels and contact paper ratio?

@@letlive8014 It would be hard to get it back to white walls though, because it could take multiple coats (and lots of time/effort) to fully cover up black paint. Also, the paneling effect of the matte and shiny makes the wall look more unique and elegant than just a flat black painted wall.

Great job! Quick tip to make alignment on this and other light material jobs. Use blue painters tape from ceiling onto cardboard panels aligning as needed and able to finally peel off the two sided tape you had on cardboard which would be easier if you put the double sided tape on wall using this tip. Keep up the great work!
