How to apply Stone
Features & Effects Stone is a uniquely formulated paint that has been designed to imitate the look of worn stone. Use it in feature areas to create impact or for a natural, textured effect.
Stone finish is easy to apply using a roller and brush combination. The finish will slowly bloom over the next 48 hours to achieve the final effect. The final finish will vary depending on the method of application you use. Use a roller on your first coat for a more textured finish, or a brush for a softer, suede finish.
Step 1
Cut into edges and corners using a generous amount of paint. Ensure you don’t leave any thick edges.
Step 2
Apply the Stone finish with a 10-12mm roller or a quality 75-100mm brush. Do not roll too quickly or overspread with a brush as this will give you a patchy result.
Step 3
Use a 75-100mm brush to work in sections across the wall. Do not use a roller for the second coat. Apply the paint using a random criss cross action. Blend new and previous sections as you move along the wall.
