painting marble?

[lumley1]

Are there any products out there which will allow you to paint over marble?

We have a peach marble fire back and hearth, which now does not match the rest of the room. The wall ahve been freshly plastered and the onlt way to remove the marble would be to take off the fire surround but the screws have been plastered over and I do not wish to chip into the fresh plaster to do this.

thanks for all your help.

Very difficult suface to paint as it is virtualy impervious...but if your desperate then give it a thorough clean down, key the surface with 400 grade wet an dry then give it a coat or dulux two pack ultra grip primer.

Not text book stuff but it might work
