Construction technology of imitation stone paint: the secret of creating natural stone effect

Want to present a unique stone-like effect in home or commercial space? Mastering the construction technology of stone-like paint is the key. This paper will reveal five techniques of real stone paint construction and matters needing attention in the construction process.

Brick-shaped real stone paint technology

According to the designed brick size, the brick model is made on the wall surface which has been coated with primer. Use a wooden frame to help fix it, and then spray real stone paint in the frame. Before the paint is completely dry, gently remove the wooden frame and you will get a realistic brick effect.

Vertical spraying technology

Draw a circle so that the spray gun is 30-40 cm away from the wall. Do circumferential spraying with a radius of about 15cm, and shake the spray gun up and down at the right time. This can ensure uniform and rapid spraying and avoid the defect of uneven paint appearance.

Roman cylinder spraying

For cylindrical structures, M-shaped lines are used for spraying. Keep a distance of about 40 cm, and the spray gun should be vertical to the cylinder. Spray from top to bottom, and after each spray, rotate 60 degrees to spray the next side to ensure the overall effect is perfect.

Square column spray

In order to ensure that the square column is angular, it is necessary to keep a spraying distance of 50 cm. Long-distance spraying can ensure fog dispersion and uniform coverage. Avoid too thick or uneven paint caused by too close distance, thus affecting the aesthetic appearance of the building.

Cylindrical gourd spray

For the small and exquisite cylindrical gourd railing decoration, more detailed spraying process is needed. Because of its small size, some parts can not be sprayed on the front, and special methods are needed to achieve the ideal effect.

Matters needing attention

Cracks may appear at the corner of yin and yang during the spraying process of real stone paint. The change of temperature difference may lead to different drying speeds of the inner and outer layers, and then cracks may be formed in the case of surface drying and internal drying. If the coating coverage is uneven or too thick during spraying, it may lead to cracks after the surface is formed. In order to avoid these situations, special attention should be paid to spraying skills and coating formula, and the formula should be readjusted and trial-produced if necessary.
