Faux
Marble Painting - the elegance at less than half the
cost
To
give a new stunning look to your marble it is easy to have a faux
marble painting finish to any smooth surface, from coffee tables
to dresser tops. There is a usage of a gloss sealer and it is
the best way to give a polished look as well as will protect your
masterwork with a care. Marble has a great variety in shades and
they have a natural look ranging right from deep coral and translucent
pink to forest green, misty gray, intense black and, as shown
here, rich creamy hues. Sometimes people prefer to look out for
faux-marble laminate sample chips to give a new look to local
home improvement store.
Choice
of colors
The main step is choice of color scheme and then the actual work
begins. There is an oil-based eggshell alkyd paint that is painted
and allowed to dry. For the best results it is advised that one
should give two to three coats so that there is a permanency.
There should be a complete dryness before coating the next coat.
There is a continuity of the same color for the avoidance of irregular,
grid like network. To add to the fineness it is necessary that
one should use a toothpick wrapped in cotton or a cotton swab
to wipe off excess paint. If one intends to have some other color
then the process is repeated.
Some
more tips for painting
Reglazing of some parts is done so that there is a denser glaze
into the column's crevices. A satin (matte) polyurethane varnish
is used so that there is a perfect coat for your marble. It is
necessary to imagine at real marble before you begin, and visualize
your piece and then decide about the network or vague grid pattern.
One should be careful as alkyd paint fumes are unpleasant and
dehydrating and that can harm the health of a person lacking sustainability.
As the Real marble has lines of varying density and thickness
it is necessary that one should take care of patterns in a careful
manner.
