Return to article: How to Paint a Plaster Column
on 11/22/2005 Sometimes black faux veining and marbleizing on a white background comes out too strong or dark in color and looks fake. Get a can of white spray primer at any hardware store. This is less dense than white spray paint and has a finer mist. Spray over the marbleized piece (play with the distance) and you'll find that the primer mutes the veining, allowing it to still be seen, but blending it more into the stone. Then seal with a clear spray or brushed on poly or acrylic.
