Paint decorative stone Gypsum is carried out not only if its color is not entirely combined with the elements of the interior, but also when defects deteriorate on the material on the material appearance. Thanks to the protective properties of the applied paint coatings, it is possible to provide a tile resistance to erosion destruction and give finishing an attractive view.
For painting of artificial stone from plaster, acrylic, silicate and silicone paints and varnishes (LKM). Most often they are water-based. For painting products designed to finish the outer walls, use LCMs resistant to external influences. Gypsum tile can be painted in mass, i.e. the coloring pigment is brought into the solution before filling forms. The main shade gets all the product. This method is applied when installing in places where mechanical damage to the coating is possible.
For surface applying, the coller is most often used acrylic paint for plaster. Ready solutions can be purchased in the store or do it yourself using colored pigments. The sharing of these methods allows to obtain the effect of natural materials used for finishing.
In order for the paint better to stick to the surface, it is treated with penetrating primers, and for the protection of material from fungi and moisture, the gypsum products are impregnated with hydrophobizers. Their use reduces water absorption of 20-25 times. These solutions are applied after varnishing or painting tiles.
Silicate and silicone paints are mostly used for external work. The binder is liquid glass and silicone resins. The service life of such a coating is about 20 years.
Water-soluble varnishes are used to create a matte or glossy surface of the material. In addition, they protect the surface of the gypsum stone from abrasion during operation. For creating durable coating Varnish are applied in several layers. It should be remembered that after such a processing the main color of the gypsum product darkens.
To paint the decorative stone from the gypsum with their own hands does not make much difficulty. The main advantage of such works is the choice of color and materials. The paint for decorative stone should be harmonized with interior elements. Gypsum products can be painted under stone or imitate brick and wood. Tile can have several colors with a smooth transition from one to another.
Inside the room for painting use applated water-based varnishes. For this, the LKM is suitable for plaster and stone, and in the absence - a colorless wood. You can pre-collect the drawing on the horizontal plane and, if necessary, to correct defects.
For work used brushes of various sizes and shapes. Can not be used to apply decorative paint rollers or paint brushes (Maclovitsy), because the flow rate of the LKM is strongly increasing, and the tiles remain lower. For work, a well-fisted pulverizer with a compressor. The use of such a tool reduces the flow rate of the LKM and allows you to cover the tile with a smooth thin layer of paint.
To darken the relief areas of plaster stones and eliminate defects, a brush or airbrush is used. The last one can apply the main color and make smooth transitions between tones. However, not everyone has such electric tools, and when large squares This work takes a lot of time. At the same time, the quality is always suffering that is a lack of self-painting.
You can give a gypsum stone in several ways. Most often manual painting with brush. Each tile is painted with a basic color, and then several fragments are allocated more dark tint. During the application of paint, it is necessary to ensure that the implications are not formed and non-rectified fragments remained. This method is time-consuming and takes a lot of time, so it is used to paint a small amount of tiles and eliminate defects.
Facilitates the use of electrical and pneumatic tools. Professional masters are popular with painting of plaster products with paintopult. For this, the tile is placed on the horizontal surface of the size of 1x1 m and the sprayer is applied basic layer. The technology of applied shades is simple: after drying the tiles with an airbrush or spray with a thin nozzle to separate areas, the paint layer is darkened.
Some experts believe that it is best to paint the tile laid on the wall. This makes it possible to arrange darker pebbles throughout the treated surface. The paint applied to the gypsum quickly dries out, which helps to immediately identify and eliminate defects. After that, the tile is covered with varnish. With this surface treatment, care is simplified by the product, since it is possible to wipe the gypsum stone with a wet rag, without fearing to smear the paint.
Painting of gypsum can be carried out both during the manufacture of the product and after. In the first case, the pigment is added to the mixture or directly into the form, and in the second in the paint. Choose the same color of the gypsum mixture in large volumes is difficult. Therefore, this method is applied with a piece manufacture of a small amount of tiles.
It is easier to cook paint using a dry pigment or a liquid kel. Do not recommend mixing multiple colors to obtain the desired shade, because color divorces can be released when stirring with paint. With a large amount of work, it is simply impossible to get the same color.
If a dry dye is used, it must be pre-dissolved in water and then the composition is added to the paint. Different containers use different tanks for the preparation of background and the calculated mixtures. If the tile is painted under the brick, then the graph color most often make the brighter base. Before applying the next layer, each time is checked, the previous one is reduced. It must be remembered that after drying the product, its color becomes lighter.
Gypsum products are made of gypsum binder and water, production technology does not change for more than 200 years. The strength of products from plaster with full drying increases, and the weight is reduced, but with all the positive qualities of the product gypsum, the products are obtained by one-photon and it is necessary to dye to emphasize the beauty and relief.
After finally, drying gypsum products must be protected by paint, which will save the appearance. Staining material produced by liquid paints layers: 1-3 layers, or covered with sheet (foil) with gold.
Coloring of gypsum figures
Production of gypsum products is carried out using forms, the diluted gypsum is poured into the forms and, after the final setting, the product is removed from the form, dried, refined, if necessary and painted. For coloring of the gypsum, various paints can be used: based on gumiarabic, based on acrylic, based on varnish. Gumiarabic-based paints allow painting plaster without additional preparation, water and brushes are used to apply paint. The first layer (main) is evenly applied and the subsequent layers are performed by lesing. You can save the figurine from the exposure to the external environment using a transparent quick-drying lacquer "Shellac".
Garden figures, it is desirable to paint with oil paints and soak in a hot olife, the olive penetrates deeper into the gypsum, the longer the figures will retain its integrity. For this, the olif is heated to a hot state and in several layers are applied to the garden gypsum figure. Then the figure must be painted with oil paints.
What and how to paint stucco?
Gypsum stucco paint acrylic, water-emulsion or water-dispersion paints. Before applying paints, the surface of the stucco must be primed, this will allow not only to save the paint, but also to evenly apply it to the stucco. Gypsum stucco is stained in several layers with kraskopultum, brushes or roller. Additionally, the protruding decor may be released or pigmented by tampons or brushes. Water-emulsion or water-dispersive paint will perfectly protect the stucco from the external environmental impact.
Also, as decoration of the stucco decoration of the gypsum, it is recommended to cover the foil (gold coating of foil). It is attached to a special glue and fixed with shellah varnish. Such a gypsum color visually as close as possible approaching the product to real gold, silver or bronze. This is how the plaster stucco is decorated in the palaces and temples.
How to paint artificial stone
Artificial stone of plaster is a tile, imitating natural stones or rock relief. The popularity of artificial stone has increased in recent years, as it can greatly replace expensive clay or cement tiles. The surface of the tile without problems is painted acrylic 
water-emulsion or water-dispersion paints. Before staining, the tile surface is best to be pregnant, since the density of one tile may differ from the density of another tile, the paint does not always lie down in one-time. Most of the masters prefer to paint the stone superficially, but plaster stroke material and during damage to the surface white chips appear, so it is recommended to compose gypsum when mixing the solution.
Artificial stone is best painted in mass, more precisely in water intended for gypsum you need to add dry pigment or liquid dyes. Gypsum coloring technology in bulk allows you to avoid white spots on the wall surface. It is important after staining the gypsum stone to coat it with a special protective varnish (for example, acrylic). It is also possible to be applied acrylic varnish without pre-staining with dispersion and emulsion paints. In this case, the time of painting is saved.
Gypsum is very continuing, but with different materialsSuch as: PVA glue, acrylic and various plasticizers added to the gypsum solution are attached to the plaster products additional density.
Gypsum can rightly be considered one of the most popular finishing materials both in a residential and not in the residential sectors. Applying a similar solution on the wall has many advantages. However, the standard white or gray color of this material often wants to change.
One of the options for the color of the gypsum is the addition of a flaper into it. However, it must be borne in mind that the solution is very thick and make the color homogeneous will not be so simple. Well, if we are not talking about the finished solution, but about the powder, which we will breed once over time, then this method does not work at all, since in this case the shades will always be different, and you just spoil the wall. Finally, spreading the kel in such a dense environment, it is difficult to determine how much to add paints, so you can easily overdo it. If you still paint the solution, then you need to understand that when drying it will become a little more pale, so the color is better to make rich.
It does not matter whether it is a bas-relief or gypsum tile - the material itself is characterized by excellent adhesion. In other words - it absorbs water very well, and therefore paints and varnishes. We list the main ways to paint the gypsum surface:
Tip! In order for the colored layer better to hold, it is best to apply transparent varnish. Since paint on plaster dries very quickly, it is possible to start the lacquer at almost immediately.
Regardless of what you gathered to paint a gypsum surface, you must make sure that the material is ready for this. First of all, check the consistency of the paint, making sure that it is not too liquid. Otherwise, implications may be formed, which will affect the general visual capacity. If there are thickens, it may say that such paint was incorrectly stored.
Such wall decorations, like stucco and bas-relief, deactivate acrylic, water-dispersion or water-emulsion paint. The last two kinds of paint, by the way, not only will provide gypsum color, but also protect it from external influences.
In addition, various pigments that help imitate metal surfaces or natural stone. By the way, the gypsum can not be painted, but to cover the golden foil from above, which most realistically symotishes the surface of this metal. At the same time, the foil is superimposed on the glue, and the top is covered with varnish.
A variety of tools are used, ranging from spray and ending with small brushes and cotton swabs for processing protruding and the smallest parts. Depending on the technique carried out, it is possible to take painting under the old surface, and achieve other effects.
Strength, simplicity of work and rapid frozen make plaster the ideal option For the manufacture of various products, including various figures. Giving them a color, we will use the most subtle brushes. In this case, you may need to draw the ability to draw, so that without the latter it is better not to engage in amateur. Similarly, the situation is also with the gypsum tiles - you need to know exactly how you draw, and how exactly you will do it.
In order to achieve the effect of "under ancient", it is enough to treat a gypsum product with oil. Over time, the surface will take a similar look.
It is easy to turn the gypsum surface into the wax, it is enough to cover it with wax dissolved in turpentar or acetone. To enhance the effect from above, you can add yellow oil paint, And after drying, the latter is to polish the product with a soft cloth.
How to make a garden appearance interesting, unusual, memorable? One of the most simple, economical solutions is the installation of pretty, bright gypsum statues. This material is quite easy to handle, to paint a small figure and a non-specialist. Some simple recommendations Help create an unusual and durable area decoration.
Work includes stages:
Painting of artificial gypsum stone is a great opportunity to get finishing materialwhich will meet individual decorative wishes. In addition, the layer will protect the facing products and increase its durability. With some diligence, all work can be performed by independently available tools.
Painting material at home is necessary usually in the case of the acquisition of untreated products or self-making products. In the second embodiment, it is better to provide a gypsum painting. This will allow to carry out surface staining only to emphasize the desired sites.
If independent manufacture Stone about his color to take care in advance by adding a color to the gypsum mass, then less strength and time will be spent on the whole process of coloring Collect the gypsum as a whole is not very simple, accuracy will be needed and a lot of time. In addition, the result when choosing a certain color is not always obtained. Therefore, all compounds are recommended to test in advance.
For facial coating can be used different kinds Dyes, giving details the desired shade.
The irmentation solution is quite popular, it allows you to decorate and protect the surface. Such material has a number of properties necessary for artificial stone of plaster mix:
Coloring acrylic paint Add to artificial stone additional protective properties, which is especially important in rooms with temperature drops and high humidity If you need to get high moisture resistance, the mixture is purchased with the addition of silicone. Distinctive feature Acrylic compositions are that they easily change their color, for this it is used by a kel.
Iron and copper sipop are used as impregnation. The main purpose of these mixtures is the strengthening of the strength of the parts, but there is also a side effect - staining. Iron variety gives stone yellow tintand copper - blue.
The dry composition is divorced by water in a suitable container, the elements are immersed in a solution for two hours. The main thing is to have fragments so that they do not come into contact between themselves, otherwise the standing sections will appear.
For gypsum, mostly compositions are used, which are also suitable for concrete artificial stones. They are monophonic mixtures. There is a rich palette of shades, but if necessary, staining is made by a verse for wood.
There is also an acid veil. It should work with it with great care. Much depends on the composition, so it is recommended to test the mixture on one product.
Painting can be carried out by other varieties that paint the surface of the stone:
On a note! Currently, special paints appeared, which create the appearance of natural stone. The cost of such materials is high, but the result is impressive.
The coating of products by coloring compositions is carried out according to certain rules:
You should know! Often meets the board on the use of varnish to make shine coating, but it is not always appropriate. Such an effect can weaken the feeling of naturalness.
The technology assumes that the work will be carried out in stages. The exact order of actions allows you to paint without any problems.
The necessary tool depends on which products need decorative coating. If you paint new parts, the list will be less than when working with elements having an old layer. Also in the second case it is very difficult to achieve a qualitative result.
The following set of devices is prepared:
Also purchased the necessary impregnations and paint (or its components).
Product preparation is not much difficult:
All fragments are inspected: defective or unsuitable forms are not used.
Painting of decorative stone perform different ways, but general recommendations Such:
Important! To obtain the desired effect, a trial color is carried out to select a shade and application technology.
There are methods for dyeing gypsum with their own hands, which allow you to achieve an interesting type of surface, including the formation.
Process algorithm:
In addition, such impregnation reduces gypsum hygroscopicity.
The technology is almost identical to the previous option, but the shellary varnish and rosin are used as a covering composition, which are bred in technical alcohol.
After a certain period of time, after applying the composition, the surface acquires similarity with terracotta.
A mixture of shellah varnish and rosifers makes brown gypsum Technology requires the availability of the necessary ingredients and the following actions:
On a note! If you need to strengthen the effect, then additionally plaster is processed by a wax solution in turpidar until the material stops absorbed the mixture. This coating can be washed.
The similet is used quite often. It is well applied with the help of kraskopultum, but the best result is obtained with full immersion. For this, the composition is a bit heated, dip the parts for a short time (from 5 to 10 seconds) and immediately send on drying. If required, the fragments are pre-wiped.
