What paint is best to be used on a headstone made of marble?

Question

The paint on the lettering has faded with time and id like to re paint it but I was wondering what type of paint would be the best to use to suit all types of weather? Many thanks!

Answer 1

B&Q sell spray cans of paint you can use,it sprays on,and gives effect of stonework,

Answer 2

I would use something like Hammerite Smooth, presumably in Gold. Failing that I would use Humbrol Enamel paint, again in Gold.

You will need to get any old flaky paint off the headstone before you apply the new paint.

Answer 3

outdoor stone paint

Answer 4

black friares gold. avilable at your dulux trade centre.
