Faux marble designs

We can paint any surface with marble style. The technique is very simple, and I'll explain in this note.

Imitation marble
The finish of a faux marble technique is really simple to do, and gives us the possibility of surfaces and objects that look stunning and beautiful, enhancing any environment.


How to paint faux marble
To make this faux marble technique, we must first prepare the surface to be treated, which may be any object, wall, furniture, tray, box or another. After sanding, no traces of paint, glue or dust, we'll get to work.


Prepare the surface
We begin by giving a coat of white paint, if necessary with a fixative or sealant to plug the pores of the surface to be treated. After you have let it to dry well, give a coat of colorless fixative or varnish to water for this white has more depth in the final finish.


Create the marble effect with paint
Marble can be imitated in any key, depending on our taste and overall decorative style of our home, or the environment in which we are going to look the part. We must therefore define the color, and then buy it in a dark tone with white paint, which can be used for the base.
Now put the base and colorless sealant, apply a hand tone chosen 50% white, ie, if we want to make a green marble, we will buy dark green paint and make a pot of green paint and white paint to get a light green.
As soon as we have applied the hand of clear paint, take a pair of rubber gloves (of which we use to clean the home), and we will be removing the paint without slipping, supporting glove (palm, back, or as we more comfortable) to achieve color variants and exposing the white base.
Now this hand is dry, repeat the action with the dark tone of paint, removing it to reveal patterns that exhibit clear tone and white base.
We will support the glove and wiping it on paper towels as often as we taste, until the desired finish.
Let the paint dry for an afternoon, and then we can apply a coat (or necessary), varnish or lacquer to protect this new marble for us to be exhibiting. When dry the varnish, we have a box wall cabinet with tray or marble finishing that is really impressive, with good depth and high gloss.
