Using a mineral based potassium silicate paint that cures on stone and actually protects it, we can camouflage modern restoration away to match the surrounding historic patina. Or perhaps a sign has been on a building for decades and it has changed ownership. Removing large plaques leaves a dark shroud that is impossible to clean off. Matching color and texture patterns with this specialty material can rectify this.
In this image gallery, I've included documentation from a large brick restoration job on the facade of the beautiful landmarked Western Union building in TriBeCa.. Our team of artisans faux painted thousands of new bricks to match 5 different color prototypes of historic bricks to conserve this beautiful art deco era architecture.
Lastly, there is an example of a sign removed from a limestone commercial building on 5th Ave in Koreatown, in which we plein air painted several shadows away. These projects were done in collaboration with Opus Architectural Arts
