7995830-6PK Stone Creations Spray, 12 oz, Pebble, 6 Pack

Rust-Oleum 7994830 Stone Creations Spray, 12 oz, Sienna Stone ~ $12.99 So perhaps an unusual application but I'm using this on the under side of an aquarium bottom. Bare bottom tank, nice sand look. Just in case I'm not explaining that clearly, tank empty and upside down I tape off and spray just the *outside* surface of the bottom glass. So when it's set back up I have the look of real sand on the bottom but easy to clean bare glass facing the water. I'm not spraying inside the tank where the water goes. And I haven't had it long so can't speak to longevity but after some longer than expected drying time it seems to adhere to the glass very well. From the glass side, looking from inside the tank, it has a bit finer, and obviously smoother, texture, but still conveys texture and 100% looks awesome and very much like real sand. The only caveats, and not really problems per say as it's just a different kind of paint, is this stuff goes on a bit strange and has long drying times. So if you plan for that the results are worth the extra patience. The first oddity I noticed is the between coat times and consequences of doing the next coat too soon. I initially did 15 minutes till the 2nd coat, 30 minutes for the 3rd. Both way too soon. And this was outside in the sun on a 70 F day with around 50% humidity, not ideal but not horrible. And the strangeness part is if the previous coat isn't tacky yet the next coat will actually push it around. I had a unique perspective applying to glass so I could take a peek from the back at the thin spots. After the 1st coat there were still mottled areas you could see through the glass. I figured no problem, it's a textured paint and should fill in on the following coats. But the 1st coat not being tacky enough the air movement from spraying the 2nd coat kind of pushed the textured bits around and ended up with the same amount of thin spots but thicker textured spots. And after noticing this I also tried moving my spray distance quite far... and I wasn't spraying too close to begin with, maybe 16 ~ 18". The wind of the spray pushed the paint and texture out of the bare spots you're hoping to fill in and the textured bits attracted together, maybe aided by the wateriness of the non-textured parts of paint which also seems a bit more translucent than standard paint, I guess so you can see the multiple colors better and give it some depth, maybe some kind of hydrogen bonding type effect of the textured bits. And after 3 medium coats done in such a way It wasn't even slightly dry to the touch until late the next morning. Granted I started in the afternoon so not quite a full 24 hours. But that's for just starting to get dry to the touch, not even close to really dry or cured. And still looks absolutely beautiful already, just like the cap only with a bit more dense black and white bits which IMHO looks even nicer than the cap giving it a bit finer texture. If it wasn't on glass you could easily figure it was done by how good it looks. It just needs another good coat or two to fill in the translucency a bit, and I'd say even it out in overall thickness for strength. And God knows how long for final actual drying which is gonna drive me crazy as I'm super excited to get this tank set up but the result is worth it. It looks absolutely beautiful though and I already achieved the desired effect of realistic sand on my aquarium bottom while keeping the low maintenance of bare glass. TLDR: So I guess lesson learned is if you want to get more effective coverage using probably much less paint, and probably get a physically smoother more even finish with the same textured look, wait longer between coats, I'd say at least a few hours, because if you don't the previous coat and the one you're applying will kind of gather thicker textured spots and not fill in the low spots. You need it at least getting tacky. And touching it while it's still watery will make a bald spot which will be a nuisance to fill in due to everything I explained above, so best to test for tackiness on a taped or unseen spot. EDIT ~ ADDENDUM Once you have a decent base coat down and dry, or at least significantly tacky, where it won't be pushed around by the air of spraying as noted above, you can lay it on thicker than normal paint and make more of you're waiting/drying times.

I have this 40 year old rental home that really needed an upgrade to the kitchen. So I started a week long DIY project. I really wanted to get rid of all the brown especially the counters. I used this granite spray and it turned out beautiful. The kitchen looks updated, I just need to get rid of the fan and put in a recessed light. When using this granite spray it's really important to shake it vigorously and often while applying. When it first goes on it has an odd texture and is very watery wet,so watch you don't touch it. I used all the cans for this size kitchen. I let each lauer dry over night and it was rock hard in the morning. Apply the spay again,rember to use long sweeping motions,I hel the can about 14 inches up from the counter. Make sure you spray straight down and not at an angle to get an even texture. I put five coats on and got a really nice granite look. I put to coates of clear varnish on top. Tip: Don't use the entire can. Regardless of how much you shake it, the last 1/8 or so, it will be very watery and dump white clumps on. It was the same with all cans. The rest of it is perfect. It was rock hard after each layer and holds up beautifully now. It was an inexpensive update. It's very versatile,I'm spraying a large outdoor ceramic planter tomorrow. It's simple to use and a great product for home improvement projects!

I absolutely love this paint! I used it on a vase and it looks and feels like stone! I wanted to paint everything in site. It is awesome! I have a candle inside with Christmas decorations inside the vase.

The finish of Sienna stone paint is beautiful. It actually looks like rock and in a good way. However know this - this is not the usual type of spray paint. It takes much longer for it to dry and the surface should be primed properly so the adhesive in the stone paint will set/stick properly. The paint sprays several things out at the same time to give the stone finished look. It seems to be a mix of water based acrylic and oil because it will clean up with soap and water easily in its wet state, so this is a good thing. The paint sprays messy, so cover everything up around what you are painting because little flecks of stone paint fly in all directions no matter how careful one sprays. Also, this paint isn't cheap. Almost twice the cost of other premium paints but for a distinctive rich stone finish, it's worth it. 5 stars because the Sienna finish looks so nice, but preparation is absolutely key here to achieve it. Also purchased the Tuscan rock version of this spray paint. I can only give this finish 3 stars. It resembles sand paper in its finished state. I thought it would have a more interesting reddish appearance but this is not the case. This finish looks exactly like sand paper imo. But the quality of paint is excellent and it has a durable finish. If a sand paper look is what you're after, this is the paint for you. 3 stars for Tuscan Rock because the color is too sandy and the price point is high. Overall for the two paints 4 stars.

I used it for repainting an old concrete garden statue. After pre-cleaning and drying, it worked well with even coverage and good adhesion. The coating holds well after months exposure to elements and Carolina sun

I used this spray to produce a stone look to some concrete statues that were in bad and weathered condition. After two light coats, they look absolutely fabulous.

This is true to color and withstands outdoor uses. I am Very Satisfied

Whatever you do don’t purchase this!!! I used it on my white bench that was in front of my house. Looked great when I first did it so good that I even bought a second can because it was a little sparse with one. After a night in the rain, this is what my bench looks like now. My grandson was here after it rained, and he touched the bench and he had paint all over his hand and his school clothes. I don’t know what happened with this paint, but it didn’t work at all. I wish I would’ve taken a before picture because it totally looked like stone to match the vase in front of my house and this is what I’m left with now. A bench that looks like dirty gray that I have to sand now to get the rest of it off and paint it white again. Bad quality paint must’ve been an old batch. I don’t know but totally not happy with this at all. So now not only am I out $15 twice but I also have to get a new bench. Buyer beware.!!!!! try to leave no stars but you have to pick a star so I’m leaving it at one, but I really wanna rated a zero.
