Krylon Coarse Stone Textured Finish, White Onyx, 12 oz

Wow! Never thought this would look anything like stone, but I was wrong! Covered my 2 ft tall garden statue with one can, which is great because it’s expensive! We’ll see how long it lasts, but as of right now, I’m impressed!

Have used this on a few things now. I spray a light or medium base coat then go over that with this paint and then a clear sealer coat. I use it for outside decor. It give a nice stone look to update older faded items.

I bought this paint to refresh a fountain that the finish had worn off. We power washed the fountain and Waited for it to completely dry. It looks completely brand new. Actually, better than it looked originally. I highly recommend. I let it dry for 3 days before I moved it and added water to it. I am very happy with how it turned out.

It’s a neat product. Sprays on easily and is textured like the online images. The travertine tan is much lighter than the cap color so that’s disappointing. I used it to spray a 16 inch planter and only got 2 coats on before the can was empty. It was enough even though the color is still too light for my liking. If you find a color you like, go for it!

UPDATE: it's been over 2 years now and the countertops continued to yellow because of the polyurethane sealant to the point where I wish I would have painted the counters in a dark color to begin with. I don't regret repainting the countertops process because it actually works, but with a white color the polyurethane will cause it to yellow and stain over time. If you insist on having lighter countertops you may want to consider using countertop protectors because the polyurethane isn't impervious to creating dark stains, which will show up against a lighter background. SHEER: If you plan on redoing your formica countertops you'll need to sand and then use a couple layers of primer and/or paint for this texture paint to stick to. I thought the White Onyx would be a very white paint in itself and that combined with one coat of primer there would be good coverage. But I discovered it does not have much base white color in it (sheer-ish), and the primer spray paint I used wasn't enough by itself to white out and prepare the dark countertops either (still had some dark show through), so I brushed a white paint semi-gloss which I had laying around on top of the primer to fully cover up my old countertops, deglossed, sanded, and then applied more White Onxy on top. The White Onyx does not have primer in it and is kind of sheer so if you don't have a white surface to begin with, you're definitely going to have to prime or paint it first, or both before you apply it. If you have a good amount of counter space you'll probably need two cans of this product because you'll have to do a couple of layers to get a very coarse texture. SEALING: Countertops need to be sealed to protect against water damage, especially around the sink and in high traffic areas. I did my research and polyurethane is more impervious to water over time than polyacrylic. HOWEVER, polyurethane has yellow undertones to it so when I applied it to the White Onxy, it yellowed it immediately and turned it more into a cream color. I applied a thick cover of polyurethane to completely seal it. I didn't mind the eventual cream color because my kitchen doesn't require stark white countertops, but just keep that in mind when choosing your sealants if you're going for a very white look. Conversely though, I do have the peace of mind that I can place anything on my countertops and they won't be damaged or chip anytime soon, which I probably wouldn't have had had I use polyacrylic as the sealer. There may be some other clear sealing options but I went with polyurethane. Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase and it achieved the results that I was hoping for. I hope this review was helpful, and good luck on your projects!

This is by far the WORST spray paint I have ever used. I ordered 2 cans. One came WITHOUT a spray nozzle on it. I had to break both lids just to get the paint open. Then, to top it off, it sprays terrible. The most you spray, the worse it gets. It actually takes the paint OFF instead of putting it on. I won’t be using Krylon EVER again.

Outdoor Precautions: The paint comes out beautiful looking that is surely the positive; however, this texture takes a LONG time to dry. I let it dry for over 6 hours and it "seemed" dry enough to the touch. Then, I left it alone overnight and a light rain came in. When I went outside the next morning every single bit of the textured paint washed off or turned to a paste. I took a garden hose and simply sprayed the paint off with water which came off real easy and left a bunch of granules in the driveway. LESSON LEARNED: Plan your paint job well. Check the weather for at least 24 hours and make sure there is no moisture or rain for at least 24 hours. Dry to the touch is not enough for this paint. Also, application seems to work better on more sunny days rather than cloudy, slightly moist and cool days. While your new stone paint job will look REALLY cool when done, don't let the "dry to the touch" fool you. It is not ready to be exposed to weather. I have used this paint before outside and it held up well when properly dried and placed some clear coat or some sort of poly over it. Be VERY careful when using this or it can turn real frustrating and expensive to have to clean up and start over again.

This works much better than the other brand I tried and is rated for outdoor use. It goes on easy and 2 coats provided the texture I was looking for.
