As the cost is very low and the production is easy, most styrene acrylic stone like paint on the market is produced by small local stone like paint manufacturers. 2. Pure acrylic stone like paint (medium grade): pure acrylic stone like paint with good water resistance, color retention, flexibility and weather resistance. The coating finish effect can be maintained for 8-10 years without obvious fading, and is suitable for general residential, office buildings, factory buildings and other buildings.
