As our friend with the white vp I have the same scenario with dark(black and pewter) where client wants minimum movement. I am using Rivesto marmorino for this project. I have never sanded between coats as Doyle mentioned but am open to anything. I am doing fine grain finish. Have 3 coats on one sample. am going for 4 as Doyle suggested.
Randy, I had a similar situation with a client that wanted a dark almost black /gray with very little color variation/movement. I ended up using stucco romano tinted a shade lighter than the color I wanted to end with, then I used a tinted wax to finish and darken it to the desired color. I'm sure you could do the same thing with the marm.
Desert Rob. Thanks for the suggestion. Will try tht tomorrow as i have 5 digerent samples going on now. Trying several different strokes to minimize movement. Didn't think about wax to disguise some of light spots.

Desert Rob. Thanks again for help. Did two samples today, 4 coats,soap, then buff out. Applied Cera wax, waithed 10 minutes then buffed out. Made the the plum color almost three or four shades darker with hardly any movement. Thanks again
