I'm not sure what it's called, but I thought it was just regular plaster... not a Pebble Tec or anything like that. I just want the "normal" plaster and in a darkish color, like a blu-ish grey.

Thank you for all the links. I will need to digest them. I was actually wondering if it could be done before winter in my neck of the woods.

You don’t want to do it when it’s raining or where water can get on the finish before it’s done hardening.
