Customer Reviews for Homax 10 oz. Stone Paint Additive

I thought it would thicken the paint. It didn't. The paint ran down the wall and looks bad.

Poorly covered stone wall odd item

Works like it says. It does create a mess when used on the ceiling so make sure you cover anything under!

Worked as a planned. Good price

Crappy product. Looks like concrete on my walls. Super thick. Wasted a whole gallon of Sherwin williams paint. I'd never recommend this product to anyone. Id prefer my money back.

used on concrete wall and did not add any texture

Worked great easy to roll on & hid yellow spots

The additive was easy to mix in and went on with ease.

i went back to pre texture and regular paint. This was a craft job and the ratio mix made it almost invisible with the dark paint I used. Im not buying twice as much of this product when a large tub of texture is cheaper. honestly mud mixed down did the best surface orange peel

Product is as described, however the granules are much larger than pictured and looks just like the popcorn texture from days of old. I will most likely end up knocking down the larger pieces and repaint.

I add this to a combination of other products to make my own stone texture cream. It gives exactly the right look and you are in control of how much you add. The price is great as well.

Texture is very minimal. You need to add several containers for good coverage.

It covered a rough wall and ceiling very well. I will use it for more area.

It provided the texture that I was looking for.

Excellent product !However, after checking at home, I found I actually had 2 boxes I had forgotten about. Could I please return the two I purchased from HD?

Mixed with good primer and applied using 3/8” roller per directions. All it did was cling to roller. Probably needs to mixed with thick paint

Worked as promised

Very easy to apply

The texture of the product doesn't look anything like what's shown on the package. This has a very uneven mix of particle sizes, mostly a mix of larger chunks (maybe 3-4 mm in size) and tiny particles that are more like fine sand. The end results is that you'll get a fine sand like texture across the entire wall, with a small pebble sticking up every inch or so that is much bigger than any of the other particles. It doesn't look very good or stone like, more similar to stucco. I tried mixing it thicker (more aggregate, less paint), but it still just looked terrible. I ended up scraping it all off. Overall, a pretty bad product. It gives a really uneven, sloppy appearance to the wall, and the packaging is deceptive.

The texture came out uneven and sparse

I’ve used this product 3x and now consider myself an expert...Learn from meeeeee... 1). It will not look like the picture...more like beanie bag fill randomly splayed. 2). The stones suck up so much paint you’ll have to at least double your paint allowance (I already spent a fortune on Sherwin-Williams Emerald) 3). You can mix inside..slowly. 4). Cover EVERYTHING before painting. I painted the ceiling...small area...and it made a HUGE mess, flinging crap everywhere (bx 1st coat didn’t cover...and 2nd coat made even bigger mess).Did just ok covering slight blemishes. Overall, don’t use on ceilings unless you know what you’re getting into.
