You need to find out what product the VP was. Was it real marble dust? Was it acrylic? If it was/is acrylic, just sand, clean, prime and paint. IF you want it tonal in its coloring, then it will need a faux finish to add in all the different colors and tones of the paint.
Yes, but use a flat emulsion Paint
i ended up painting over mine Since it wasn't waxed. I could've gone over the paint with a glaze to emphasize the texture but chose not to.
Paint it. Will be labor intensive but beautiful.
Absolutely! However, a roller application will not give you good coverage due to the texture of the wall. Simply use a good sized brush for the new paint color on the main section of the wall and a smaller brush for around windows, frames, baseboard, etc.
I did answer this question but don't see it now! ???
My walls are concrete and I didn't want to use paint that would crack or fade so I used concrete stain. Lowes has one that is great. I can wash it and it doesn't change. I tried one from Home depot and it is also good.
Hi Missy, yes you can do this by painting it, lot's of work though. Hope this helps you out.
