Lithichrome Stone Paint Colors
Lithichrome Stone Paint is the without doubt the best paint to color granite monuments and other stone. Lithco colors are the result of many years experience in keeping abreast of the progress made in the field of stone surface coatings in recent years. From every weathering angle Lithco colors are as durable as any color materials available today. Ultra-violet light in sunlight is the chief source of pigment and binder deterioration, and Lithco Colors are compounded from the most sunlight-resistant pigments and resins known. Our colors now include gold. 2oz., 6oz. or larger sizes. Click for color pallet.

Lithichrome Solvent
Lithichrome Solvent is used for cleaning Airmite or airbrush or for removing Hilite, Shadow, or Lithco Color (if necessary). This solvent will also dissolve Stoneweld IF USED BEFORE IT HAS HARDENED. Lithco Solvent is the thinner for Lithco Colors if any thinning is needed for spraying. This is the only solvent, except some highly flammable, which will keep the Airmite airbrush in tiptop condition. Flush after each use and the Airmite will always be ready for use. The easy way is to place the Airmite (after use) in a closed vessel containing Lithco Solvent. Have enough solvent in vessel to cover nozzle and material tube only. If this is done, no flushing is necessary. Gasoline or naptha will not dissolve Hilite or Shadow. Pints, Quarts, Gallons.

Lithichrome Super Bondri
Lithichrome Super Bondri is the original silicone water repellent for polished or unpolished granite has been in use for 40 years and is a standard in the granite industry. This achievement has not come easily; as the use of silicone water repellent, on polished granite especially, has required process education. If applied haphazardly, with poor or no penetration in some areas, this results in a crazy-quilt effect when the stone is wet. There is no problem on unpolished granite so long as sufficient Bondri is used to get good penetration into the stone. Gallons, Quarts.

Lithichrome HiPolish

Hipolish is best applied by RUBBING it thoroughly into the polished surface with a heavy cloth, or better, the palm of the hand. DO NOT USE A BRUSH. The cost of Hipolish will average five cents a square foot of coverage in the larger quantities. Do not use the process on a monument until some experience has been gained from use on a sample or granite scrap. Quarts
