...you can make your own: BUDGET: You can achieve a homemade Venetian plaster finish for roughly $6 to $11 per 100 square feet, considering you’ll need $2 to $3 for pre-mixed joint compound, $0.10 to $0.50 for latex colorant, and $4 to $7 for tinted glaze. That’s a bargain compared to the material cost of ready-to-apply cans of synthetic Venetian plaster (which run $18 to $33 per 100 square feet) and authentic lime Venetian plaster (which costs $32 to $84 or more per 100 square feet for materials alone). [ link to www.bobvila.com (secure)] Quoting: WaitTressSandwhich more great advice - thank you, but my question is, can I use the grout and how much would you suggest ... OR, I do have a pound of "pickling lime" I got for preserving eggs ... would that work HA ... I'm such a penny pincher - "waste not want not" eh I wouldn't use grout and paint....grout working time is usually 30-45 minute and it will start to chemically harden not matter how much water you add. It will go on sloppy and won't "trowel" because you have a slick vinyl surface. now that is the advise I am looking for ... Ok so I won't use the grout - how about a pound of lime in the paint for the plastered look? I know how expensive the real plaster is, and I will settle for just the LOOK ... this is a 20yr old farm house that just needs a face lift. that's a better option...but you'll still be antique white...take it back to the hardware store and ask them to add some white colorant, or buy a quart of ultra white and mix together.
