I have used normal white gloss paint for timber - and you only need one tube of coloured acrilic paint to create your different shades (any colour that you want your marble effect to be black, green, orange, blue etc.). I have done 3 shades of grey (so I needed 1 tube of black acrilic paint, mixed in the white paint). When you are finished with your marble effect, put 2 or 3 coats of clear gloss varnish to protect it and to give it the marble shine. I was affraid the paint will peal off on my fire surround because of the heat, but it seams to be ok. hope this helps.
