- Preparation: Before starting your project, ensure the surface is clean, sound, and dry. If you're working on pre-painted or glossy surfaces, sand them to create a suitable key for the paint. Any damage should be repaired with a suitable filler. For optimal results, apply at least one coat of Stonelux Primer to the prepared surface.
- Application: Stir The Stone Range paint well before use. You can apply it using an economy natural bristled brush, foam roller, or spray equipment. For consistent and thorough coverage, apply a minimum of three coats. Be careful to avoid overspreading the paint and refrain from over-brushing or rolling. If brush marks remain visible, finish the surface with stippling. Allow 2-3 hours of drying time between each coat.
- Spraying: If you choose to spray the paint, use a minimum nozzle size of 1.8mm. The paint can be diluted with no more than 20% water for spraying applications.
- Finishing: After applying the final coat, ensure that the paint is fully dry before touching or applying any pressure to the surface. The paint should be touch dry before applying subsequent coats.

Paint for our fire place
This paint is expensive but brilliant! Painted our stone fireplace with undercoat they recommended and then limestone 00 . Great results!

Love the paint but disappointed with the coverage
The website calculator was miles out. I bought 2.5 litres on the understanding id be covering 2.6sqm 3 times… I have managed to get 2 coats on one wall and one coat on half the other.. Had I known that I’d need to buy another 2.5L, id have purchased a bigger tub to start with and saved myself the carriage.. The finish is amazing but has cost me double the estimate
Stonelux Paints
Thank you for your review Ben. We’re very pleased to hear that you love the paint. We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with the coverage and appreciate the opportunity to explain further. We’ve reviewed your order and can see that a primer was not purchased. Our online coverage calculator is based on the assumption that the full application instructions are followed, which include the use of Stonelux primer. Primer is an essential part of the application process, as it seals the surface and allows the topcoat to perform as intended. Where a primer is not used, the topcoat will absorb more readily into the surface, resulting in reduced coverage. Our coverage figures are provided on an “up to” basis. This is because surface types, textures and porosity levels can vary widely from project to project, and it is not possible to account for every variation in advance. Even small differences in surface condition can have a significant effect on the amount of product required. We hope this helps clarify things for both you and others considering the product. If you decide to use Stonelux again in the future, our team would be more than happy to guide you through the process to ensure the best possible results. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Stonelux.

Stone paint
Absolutely brilliant. The products you supplied to me worked very well. The customer service was excellent, so a big thank you🙂

Good Product
Overall the Stonelux paint was easy to use,covered well and was pleased with the results, the project I undertook was painting a resin stone effect fire place, fancied a change of colour great outcome, Found the container wasn’t like a normal tin, little tricky to reseal, used cling film to seal the lid as a safe guard, be prepared to have a couple of brushes at the ready as they do get clogged up, easy to clean with water and hand soap, would use again

I love the finish, looks so expensive. Really happy.
