Lithichrome Stone Paint



Lithichrome Stone Paint The Coloring of Stone
The expression, the “coloring” of stone, is in reference to using either “black and white” or chromatic color for floral, pictorial, or any sandblasting design or lettering which requires the maximum in color brilliancy and weathering durability. Since Hilite and Shadow are used primarily for lettering and panel contrasting they are formulated differently than more viscous color coatings designed for opaque color.

Lithco colors are the result of many years experience in keeping abreast of the progress made in the field of surface coatings in recent years. From every weathering angle Lithco colors are as durable as any color materials available today. Ultra-violet light in sunlight is the chief source of pigment and binder deterioration, and Lithco Colors are compounded from the most sunlight-resistant pigments and resins known. Of course, unless a coating has good adhesion to the surface, nothing is of importance, and adhesion is dependent upon correct initial application. The best procedure for bonding Lithco Colors to stone is to first apply a thinned (thinned about half with Lithco Solvent) color and then a regular coat. IF APPLYING BY BRUSH, DO A MINIMUM OF BRUSH “STROKING” AS EXCESSIVE BRUSHING RESULTS IN POOR ADHESION. If an “overcoat” of Lithco Clear is applied over the color coat, this is the ultimate in stone color durability. Since very little drying time is needed between coats, these requirements are small considering what color can do for stone enrichment. If it were practical (and in most instances it is) to take a few minutes every five years to give a flat color design a coat of Lithco Clear, the original color would remain unchanged indefinitely.

Not shown: White, Black, Gray, Orange, Bright Gold, Light Brown, and Dark Brown.

For brushing Lithco Colors, ordinarily no thinning is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: ANY TIME COLOR BECOMES THICKER, THIS MEANS, SOME SOLVENT HAS EVAPORATED AND MUST BE REPLACED WITH LITHCO COLVENT. ALTHOUGH EACH LITHCO COLOR BOTTLE IS SEALED WITH TAPE, SOME SOLVENT WILL EVAPORATE IN TIME. IF COLORS BECOME TOO THICK, THIS SERIOUSLY AFFECTS THEIR ADHESIVE QUALITIES.
For spraying, some thinning is necessary. First spray a light coat – let dry a few minutes – and follow up with a full color coat. For maximum protection spray coat of Clear Lithco over color coat. This also adds to richness of color.
Lithco colors are applied at any reasonable temperature so long as the stone is dry. If it is imperative that color work be done in winter, out-of-doors, and stone contains frost, dry out stone with propane torch heat. Since any Lithco Color or Clear will adhere to any Lithco coating, this is an advantage should any color need brightening in the future. A coat of Clear over dulled color makes a remarkable change in appearance.
