Silvia C asked:


We have an outside pond with a fountain, it is made out of keystone, is it OK to paint/stain/varnish the stone? I was told to spray dark tea and it would appear as old and distressed which is the look we want to acheive….. any ideas??

    For colouring stone work.

    Yes, you can paint a stone, but is that going to make any sense? Natural stone always has its value and appear elegant. I would try stone restoration instead of painting it.
