About Talens Art Creation Beton Paste

Beton Paste is an opaque paste, which gives a rough concrete look to a wide range of surfaces. This tough, rough look fits in well in today's modern interiors. Beton Paste is more a paste than a paint and is only suitable for indoor use. To create a rougher surface, use a palette knife, and for a smoother finish use a brush or sponge. It is not necessary to apply an undercoat on the ground. It creates the rough and hard ground of concrete and is available in 5 attractive colour tints.
