Faux Finishes

Stone Washing		Faux finishing is the term used for decorative painting techniques. Stone washing, smooshing, ragging off, and colour washing are the most popular finishes we recommend to our clients. These techniques are so popular because they are simple and inexpensive, and give a truly customized look to your stone products. These ideas are simple to execute, and even easier to correct if mistakes are made; simply repaint, and start over. Colour Wash Ragging Off Smooshing
