Paint Over Tumbled Marble

How to paint tumbled marble backsplash in kitchen.

Paint over tumbled marble. But for a professional non professional painter i have a pretty extensive resume. In order to get a complete coverage i painted two coats of both the primer and the paint. Has anyone tried painting this material. When painting behind the sink i used a small artist brush.

Thanks for stopping by. Sure you can paint tumbled marble tile but just because you can doesn t mean you should. I didn t want paint all over my faucet. Myperfectcolor spray paint is a fast drying durable acrylic enamel coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

Don t confuse chalk paint with chalkboard paint which creates a surface that mimics a chalkboard and allows you to write on it with chalk and remove your jottings with an eraser. I would try it on an inconspicuous spot first and if it doesn t look like it would work you can always wipe the paint off while it is still wet.
