For Artists and Kids: Nova Color is the least expensive artists water based paint and acrylic mediums in the USA. They sell directly out of their store in Culver City, California and by mail order to consumers, schools and non-profits. They offer a painted chart for a few bucks of all their paint colors and texture mediums. Visit their factory store if you are in Los Angeles.
8 images below - Encino, California 2006: Statue Repair.
Weathered statues received a blue primer coat of Larsen Products "Weld-Crete". Concrete repair using CTS RapidSet "WunderFixx". Finishing with Benjamin Moore exterior water based primer and exterior water based flat white paint. A forest fire erupted on the mountain behind these statues as work was ongoing. Just enough time to grab a camera.
Regarding the products used:
CTS RapidSet sells many concrete based products that set/cure rapidly and are much stronger pounds per square inch than typical slow curing cement. They also do not need water curing after the initial set. Available at Home Depot and specialty builder stores like WhiteCap.
Larsen Products sells just three products - bonders for plaster and concrete. You can "glue" about an inch of new plaster to old clean plaster or painted drywall. You can bond new cement to old clean cement/stucco. Apply RapidSet products when the bonder is tacky not dry. Larsen products are sold at large hardware stores and paint stores.
Madreperlato (mother of pearl) venetian plaster on all walls of an octagonal room in San Jose, CA.
Plaster from OIKOS an Italy based company.
A new door was cut from a stucco wall to give another entrance. We rolled on the blue Larsen WeldCrete. We patched using RapidSet Mortar Mix and Stucco Patch materials. Then the patch was painted with a custom color match paint. This was done in two work days.
