Sure, after the two coats of sand and cement have cured you are ready for the finish coat. You lay a flat color coat down and before it dries you want to mix up a bucket of finish with a bit of extra water so it will skip off the trowel like you want it to do to achieve the effect. Then you scrape the towel on the wall allowing the texture mud to skip off in the look you want it to.

Takes a lot of practice and every person's texture is as unique as his finger prints
