I was wondering if anyone knew of a good durable brush on paint (other than Rub'N'Buf) for etched granite. I have seen etched, full color painted granite mural and was wondering what kind of paint would work for this? A nearby memorial fabricator has a laser etched and full color grave stones that they offer. They say it has a long life in the outdoor climate. All they would tell me is that it is a special paint. I would like to brush paint etched granite for a relistic color look for back splashes and accent tiles. So durability and water resistant is a must. Any help or recomendations would be great.
Thanks

Jim
