How to Use Exterior Paint to Fake the Look for Marble March 20, 2011
Since the ancient times marble has been used in building palaces, temples, mosques and churches. This material is a signature of luxury and wealth. In modern homes, marbled floors and columns can adorn your home and give it an opulent look. But because marble is expensive it is limited to building the homes of the rich and wealthy.
If you want the look of marbled walls on the exterior of your home there is a way to produce that effect by using a special technique in the application of exterior paint. The technique is quite complicated and if you do it yourself you may need to practice your skills to perfect its application. You should use a background glaze that matches the exterior paint of the wall you want to marbleize, latex wash or glaze to create the marble patterns, glossy paint sealer, clean rags, a small artist’s brush and crumpled paper. You can search the internet for the specific instructions on the right way to apply the painting materials and create that marbled effect on exterior walls made of stone or wood. You can also hire a paint expert to execute the procedures so your home can achieve that exquisite exterior that you want so much.
