Tips on How To Make Faux Stone Look Warn and Rustic
Posted by: THAT Painter Lady in Faux Brick Accents This letter had me confused for a while. I could not figure out why the writer wanted warm stone. Then, I finally figured out that it was a typo and she wanted to know who to make the faux stone look worn and rustic.
Hi Debra.
I’m turning a pillar wall into a stone column. I just textured it with joint compound and I will faux it to look like stone in the morning.
If you have any tips on how to make it really look like warm stone, please let me know. I’m not faux brick painting.
I appreciate all of your advice.
I hope to have a faux painting and mural business up and running soon, here in the east valley of Phoenix.
Thanks again
First… let’s address the warn faux stone. With the texture you have added, this will be easy. After you have painted the walls with the faux block, and you are happy with the way they look, you need to sand or chip back some of the texture.
Then apply a darker color to those broken areas to make them look very broken and worn.
Next… congrats on starting your new business. Make sure you visit these two sites to get information about starting and maintaining a new faux painting business:
