Reply to comment by Cespenar in How to Change Color on Exterior Thin "Stone" Veneer by Affectionate_Leg_686

I like this suggestion. One thing that would worry me is whether I will be able to remove a layer and not end up with a piece that really looks badly chiseled. I think the dye on the most offering pieces is just a layer on top. This gives me some hope. The grey and beige "stones" seem to have the dye all throughout. Have you tried sandblasting? Any experience with how it will look at the end?

I have a portable media blaster I use on various things. I've seen a lot of blasted rocks and block, you'd just have to be careful as hell with doing it installed like that, cus the grout is going to break off way easier than the stone.
