The paint is epoxy resin. It is polished. The trick is painting the wall even enough but also decoratively. This takes a lot of skill and effort. You can take an art class and find out how to do it small scale on a canvas or with water colors on paper.
A decent theater scenic painting class will teach you to paint marble at this scale. Hard wood floor and tile, too. The clear coat on a vertical surface is honestly a lot more labor intensive and complicated than the marble under it
These days lots of older buildings will also have some; I noticed some at Versailles and at the Hermitage, for example. They were used where some modern electric or other fixture needed to be put in, so the panel or section of column or whatever wouldnt stand out and impact the overall aesthetic.
The ages of these range from recent, all the way back a few hundred years, when gas fixtures were installed to modernise such places.
Its neat to see how these old stately places adapt to modernity
Lol there's an Indian marble ad where is guy is trying to paint these marble design but gives up and the ad says "you can't paint nature's imperfections"...
I think it depends on the business. Want to put this in your dentist’s office or car dealership? Going to look tacky AF. Want to put this in your spa with some wood/bamboo decor? Could work nicely.
It's a nice design for example for the kitchen wall above your stove, work area and such, and the chaos would mask some random stains. But it's usually done with printed glass instead.
I had no idea this was a thing, until an old boy who was a family friend of my in-laws told me that he did this professionally for decades. He lived in London and would travel all over the world doing it in hotels and offices, especially in the US. His portfolio was incredible.
I wouldn't say trash aesthetic. The gold might be a bit much but if you're rich enough to consider a marble wall ofc you're gonna be a bit of a weirdo. I think for the room it's in It's pretty perfect just need like a red/purple painting to balance it out on a adjacent wall... And like furniture. But clearly they're in the wall phase. It's not that bad
One of the first murals I did in a very large estate I met a man who was the lead project manager and painter/ faux finisher of the whole house. I was 19, he had crews and buckets and experience. He showed me so much about layering, detailing, texturing, finishes, and helped me to have my mural in the wine cellar more “finished” by completing the “stones” surroundings it that matched the stairwell leading around to the pool area. It wasn’t glossy like this, but his marbling technique was incredible. He got me a few jobs after that and lent me scaffolding. I went to college and he went back to LA since he was flown out for the months he was there. He was a valuable tutor for a short time.
I first learned about this from the YouTubers RaisingVoyagers, they rebuilt this barn in Italy and did their bathroom in a similar fashion, the marble part.
Damn. All I want to know is the name of the song in the background. That is really really cool art though!!! I think most commenters here won’t appreciate the time it takes and the cost and especially the skill; they just think it looks trash and that’s that.
We are part of the hive mind Reddit, and you made a mistake. You have given the Lord Reddit a reason to be angry, no matter how insignificant a simple mind may think it is. Now you suffer. You suffer now! Are you suffering?! Lord Reddit is pleased. Now downvote yourself and pay it forward. Make someone else feel shitty because they didn't notice what sub they were in!
I’ve always wanted to know the process and how they get it shining

Epoxy resin marble wall painting 102
So uhhhhh what's the 101 prereq class to that
Interior painting 101

They’re painting on a resin top coat then buffing with a polish to make it shine.
It's waxed and ironed, the basic techniques for faux marble is surprisingly old, and you can find it in some other buildings
Iirc the royal Albert hall even has some wood made to look like marble

There is also something similar that I've always wanted to try on a ceiling or accent wall called venetian plaster that has similar looking results.

I think it’s the same that’s where I first saw it
I think you are right.
well tough shit you don't get to know lol
You fucking tell em
Lol there's an Indian marble ad where is guy is trying to paint these marble design but gives up and the ad says "you can't paint nature's imperfections"...
This would look very nice in a lobby somewhere
Yeah. But not in a house.
If I saw this anywhere and was told it was done by hand, I would find it very impressive
Happy cake day!!
Epoxy. Lots of it.
I'm losing brain cells from the off gassing just looking at this.
and so will the inhabitants.
No they won’t. When it’s cured there’s no off gassing.
I mean absolutely trash aesthetic, but excellently made.

My dermatologists office looks like those walls. She's got some top tier clientele. (I am, sadly, no more than a standard pleb, however)
This is Brazil. Trust me, this is someone's house, not a business.
Tbf, on the video it looks nice. In person, maybe not
Came here to say the same thing. Craftsmanship is excellent but it's way too tacky for my taste...
r/atbge ?
Why the question mark?
To paraphrase, I was saying "This kind of thing?" vs sharing my own opinion.
It’s becoming a bit of a trend, the fake marble and its awful
I went to go see a new condo, freshly built. They had painted the bathroom floors to look like marble 😫 It's just so horribly cheap looking.
I love the rich marbel aesthetic but the real ones
The music really helped elevate the aesthetic, overall. LOL
It looks so tacky.
Yeah I definitely liked what was before the cut a lot more
For the common man? Do y’all know how much Venetian plaster costs?
r/ATBGE
Is it because it's a room instead of hall outside an apartment? Or would be distasteful? What if it was silver instead of gold?
I think some people could pull this off without being trashy. There are those who can make most any room work. I am not one of those people.
This type of Marble wall, fake or real, is almost always the most tacky tasteless installment done in the name of looking luxurious
It's a nice design for example for the kitchen wall above your stove, work area and such, and the chaos would mask some random stains. But it's usually done with printed glass instead.
It's better than the plain white it was before and it isn't some kind of eye-bleedy mess.
Nah plain white drywall is infinitely better than marble
Id prefer drywall cause you can put stuff on it and itd look good. A shelf for records would look fucking bizzarre infront of marble
Yeah, you can’t exactly hang art on this.
What about rock posters though?
I would have loved in my first crap apartment though. But, I'd go whole hog and get the other walls and ceiling done with my non-existent money.
Ah yes, the common man who can paint a flawless marble texture and has access to commercial amounts of epoxy 😂
I'm no geologist but that vein does not seem to make any sense.
I had no idea this was a thing, until an old boy who was a family friend of my in-laws told me that he did this professionally for decades. He lived in London and would travel all over the world doing it in hotels and offices, especially in the US. His portfolio was incredible.
How did he get into doing this job?
Apprenticed to a high-end decorator firm in London back in the 60’s I think
i don't want a pimp den personally.
Fuck you are boring.
Not even a pimp cup or cane?
Its a chalice.
The chalice with the palace has the brew that is true
A pimp toothbrush is about as far as I'm going.
why?
Sorry faking marble is super super tacky 😭
I guess it'd look nice a lobby or some company. But I don't know. To me it just seems fake to pretend to have a marble wall like this.

If you were rich enough, you would get an actual marble wall.
.... Yuck?

This isn't a fucking tutorial.
Looks terrible.
Certainly doesn't look real

That is UGLY
Only if by "common" you mean homeowner. I'm probably never going to be able to modify my home like that.
The my kid or her friend runs into it during a pillow fight.
I thought it would be a mountain Forest and am somehow disappointed it isn't

Just make it look like marble

Edit: probably the dumbust comment i‘ve written this year, seconded with me not understanding why i got downvoted.
...yes that's where we are
And it doesn't even belong here, since it's not a tutorial. It's just showing off.

Not all that wander are truly lost.
Don't you mean in this case:
Not all who are truly lost have wandered
That is the sub you're in, yes.
