She's a beauty! Awesome job. How did you put the design together?

Is there any particular reason why you didn't use a colored gel coat on the mould before filling it with granite? You'd have gotten a smoother finish and could have avoided painting it later. Gel coat is a layer of thin epoxy painted on the mould and allowed to set up to tackiness before the rest of the composite is layed up. It is often pigmented to achieve a desired color.
