@@DaveHendersonFakeRockVideos yo Dave, what was the customer price tag for this build?
@@NanNanNABooBoo I believe it ran $25.5K But pricing always depends of market forces, job circumstances, supply and demand as well as artist reputation. So in my earlier days I might price it out at $15K... And when I was starting my business I even did jobs for material costs only. Gotta start somewhere... Anyway, there ya go.

👍😉
that is sick bro! what do you think about wall builder (lurncrete)
Absolutely! No prob. 👍😎
Just picked up three colors of paint at Home Depot for my first rock. I got some flat earthen colors, but curious if you ever use anything with gloss or satin? And do you prefer it to have it with primer or does it not matter?
Id like to learn more about the shooting the mortar texture and stucco fog coat. Ive bought your books, and havent come across that. Thank you for your art.
Hi Adam, I was gonna send you the link to the video showing my spraying on the mortar texture coat but I think you already saw it. Anyway, thanks for the kind words friend. Have a good one! :)
Dave Henderson thank you man!!!! I’ve got some preliminary drawings, just need to find a pool architect to get them official!
Thank youu brother, this is what I needed!! I'm putting fiber optics into some concrete steps now, then im getting back to iit. I found that exact sprayer on Amazon already. And I have to try to replicate Colorado granite with the green moss man, oy. Say though, did you say what you mix with the acrylic to thin it down? (really that blows my mind, but that's more my speed. I have painted many many houses and I used to make art with the leftover and scrap from home depot..) buuuut just water or is it something else if it's not water based? Keep it uup
Thanks for the message! Yeppers, I just use water to thin down the paint, (exterior latex by the way).. Have other cool content including free pdf downloads at www.davehenderson.podia.com if ya like. And blogs at www.daverhenderson.com Anyway, thanks for checking out my videos. I really appreciate it. :) No go have a great day NO MATTER WHAT! Cheers, Mr. Dave :)
@@DaveHendersonFakeRockVideos thanks man, your awesome..
Do you use rebar to shape those smaller rocks in the stream or are they bunched up chicken wire, I think I've seen you bundle up chicken wire in a ball to add shape to the concrete.
Great work, I’ve been watching your videos way across from Florida. I’d like to know what type of paint you use, I have faux rocks around my pool that I want to retouch. Would you be kind enough to share paint and ratio to other to the right stain.
Thanks for the comments and kind words. 😊 I use high quality exterior latex house paint. I dilute it to maybe 4 or 5 to 1 water to paint so it sprays well in 1 liter hand pump sprayer.

Wow, absolutely amazing Dave. What color is the base color paint?
Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate it. :) For this project I needed to start with a light cream color since I needed to try and match the real rock boulders that were around the pool area we were working in. After that I add darker, (just a little) usually light browns/oranges/yellows on the various sides or planes of the rocks. Not all the same color everywhere. That doesn't look as natural. Finally when I'm happy with the overall "base color" I add brown/orange and dark black/brown, (2 different colors) into the cracks, (the dark black/brown) and sometimes spray color on the surfaces of the stones to add more vibrancy to the feature. I do this holding a garden hose in my right had and the two sprayers in my left... I call this the "wet technique".

Cheers, Mr. Dave :)
That’s amazing.I follow u videos on CZcams.I want to asked u what kind of Color is this and what kind of mix is.On the end came so beautifull. I wish u all the best

Thank you for the comment, Jonathan. Appreciate it. You can check out my free fake rock how-to and for-sale content at davehenderson.podia.com if ya like. Hope you have an awesome day my friend. :)
Do you apply the paint onto wet rocks in the same way you do the cloud coat'
Hey Max, I apply my "wet coats" after I get my base coat sprayed on without watering... I call the wet technique "bleeds" cuz they appear to bleed down the rock surfaces after I mist them with a water hose or hand pump sprayer...

Best of luck!
Cheers, Mr. Dave :)
Its a water base colour or oil base thx dave
All water-based exterior latex house paint. On rare occasions concrete acid stains. More how-to stuff, including free content at davehenderson.podia.com if ya like. Have an awesome day my friend. :)
Hi Dave,
Question for you. My client tried brushing off some calcium from the water line and it looks like it scraped off the top layer of paint. The faux rock is almost black and the area he scrubbed is greyish white. Do you have a recommendation to repair this?
Thanks for the video
Powerwash the area then need to add new paint. Use high qualith paint and tape off all areas that shouldn't get paint. Then layer the paint on with a sprayer as my video shows. Don't want to try and do it in one shot. Watch for dripps and dab them off with a dry towel if you see any. Hope that helps. Have other helpful info, including free pdf downloads and more at davehenderson.podia.com. Good luck! Cheers, Mr. Dave. 👍😎
What type of clear do you use to seal the paint when done???
Currently don't use sealers currently. I like the look of the paints as is but sealers aren't bad either. Just want to go with a satin or non-glossy finish unless you want a shinny glossy look.

Blogs and links to other platforms are at www.daverhenderson.com Anyway, hope that helped. Cheers, Mr. Dave :)
What do you mix to get harder rocks
Hey Semso, I just use Quickcrete 4000 psi bagged concrete from Home Depot, or 3000 psi shotcrete on big jobs. Also use High Strength Fast Set Mortar alone or mixed with concrete or mortar also from there. If you'd like more fakerock how-tos, including free downloads check out davehenderson.podia.com if you like. Cheers, Mr. Dave. 👍😎
Blessings. What type of cement paint do you use solid or transparent ??
Thanks for the comment & question! With my rock coloring strategy I use cementatious stucco fog coat colors that are worked into the texture coats then high quality exterior latex house paints. Not aware of any paints that are transparent other than epoxies and polyurethanes... Anyway, you can check out more cool fake rock how-tos, including free pdf downloads and more at davehenderson.podia.com. For my blogs and links to other platforms try www.daverhenderson.com. Thanks again and God bless! 😎👍
my pump sprayer did not want to spray. did you thin it down, or take the nozzle off?
Yes, I thin down the paint and also pour it through a paper paint strainer filter into my paint sprayer before application. Hope that helps. More how to stuff, including free PDF downloads at davehenderson.podia.com. Blogs and links to other platforms are at www.daverhendersin.com. Have a good one! Cheers, Me. Dave :)
Can I use any kind of paints? What kind of spray or is that
We use exterior high quality latex house paint diluted down enough to spray...
Are you using water to dilute the paint?
Yeppers! More how-to's at www.davehenderson.podia.com, including FREE pdf downloads and videos. For blogs and links to other platforms check out www.daverhenderson.com. Anyway, thanks for watching my videos. I really appreciate it. Now go have a great day NO MATTER WHAT! Cheers, Mr. Dave :)
That masonry paint from Home Depot starts at $35. Not a single gallon of exterior or masonry paint for $9. I so wish😊
I get "oops" paint that was mixed and rejected by customers all the time fyi. 😝
What type of paint you used and what is the name
Thanks for the message Javier! I use high quality exterior latex house paint. Marquee Brand of the Behr Home Depot paints. For more how to's go to www.davehenderson.podia.com. Have free pdf downloads there plus my book Makin' Rocks. For my blogs plus links to my other platforms go to www.daverhenderson.com. Anyway, hope this helps and thanks for checking out my videos! I really appreciate it. Cheers, Mr. Dave :)
Thank you for reply!
what is your paint to water ratio?
Hi Kathie, For the ratio you can experiment to see what you like but to get the paint mix to shoot out of the prayer it's about 1 part paint to 5 parts water. But I've never measured it. I just pour about a 1/4 of a gallon into my water filled, (about a third full) 1 gallon used juice bottles and then add water to about 3/4 full.... Once done you will see as you spray if it's too thick or thin... It kinda shows you by how it flows.... So I hope that helps. Also if you've not already done so, you can go and get some free pdf downloads on the how-to's of fake rock construction at www.davehenderson.podia.com. Also, have my two ebooks there too if ya like. Then I have my blogs at www.daverhenderson.com. Anyway, thanks for checking out my stuff. Appreciate it. If you have any other questions let me know. Now go have a great day NO MATTER WHAT! Cheers, Mr. Dave :)
@@DaveHendersonFakeRockVideos Thank you Dave. The link you have to your free pdf gives me a security warning. I'm not actually making rocks. Although I'd love to try one day. I'm sculpting with cement. A new adventure for me. I don't like the look of raw cement and would like to give it some color but don't want to "paint" it. I've looked into acid stains, but they are pretty expensive and hard to get. House paint is readily available at the local big box store. Have you tried wood stain? You mention Cal Tints, but I'm not sure what you are doing with them. Are you adding it to the paint mix or mixing them by them self? Thanks for these awesome videos.
Hi Katie, not sure what the security warning is about. Try rebooting your phone or computer. On coloring cement mixes, there should be liquid cement tints in the box stores. They work pretty well. You can also experiment with stucco as your creative material. The base is usually white so color can be much more vibrant. And they have tints for that too. They're a powder. Stucco is just a little softer than Portland cement mixes I'm pretty sure. And then you can get white Portland at pool contractor supply stores that again give brighter colors. Try adding fiberglass fibers to you mixes and they'll start to behave more like clay as you work it, (just a pinch of fibers then mix with a power drill mixer and mortar mix bit). Plus you can add different grits of sand or other aggregates including glass beads. Gently sponge off the finished surfaces revealing their awesome colors and textures! So many options for creative expression! Oh, and remember to include an acrylic add-mix liquid to all you mixes, (1 to 6 or 8 ratio of water) like Sika, (at box stores). Helps it last and improves workabilty. So there ya go. Hope that helps. Cheers! :)
