I think I should back up here and give you a big horray for your open mindedness - watch out though since there seems to be an upper limit on acrylic paint where it becomes rubbery - experimentation will reveal what works best in your various mixes - congratulations again, since that is what this group needs is a willingness to discuss and learn - I have made over 1000 test mixes and learned something each time -Thank y=You for being who you are - yea - Clyde T.

Cris,
Did I get it right? 1. You put acrylic paint in your basic papercrete mix. 2. You make the next to last coat a plaster with several components, including acrylic paint. 3. Your top coat is acrylic paint.
Your oldest building was finished several years ago and when you dig into it, the papercrete is not damp? If you scratch through the paint and plaster, the papercrete is still doing OK?
If this works, I will have to revise my theory (my comments are based solely on paranoia about waterproof coatings over materials that should not be wet, not experience). If it works, it works, let's use it.

> Clyde is right! I always use latex or acrylic in all my mixtures, if I am making a finish coat I use drywall mud, latex or acrylic paint, portland cement and fine sand blasting sand. Then after this has dried, I paint with exterior latex or acrylic paint. I have never had a problem with water getting in and not getting out. I would never use paint thinners like linsed oil, acetone, spirit etc., or oil based paints.
