Abstract: A method and assembly for surface applying a color scheme to an article surface and including securing the article upon a worktable associated with a numerically controllable colorant applicator, such that a textured surface associated with the article is exposed to the colorant applicator. Additional steps include applying the colorant, in one or more successive coatings, upon the textured surface, following drying of which a sealant is applied over the colored and textured surface. Also included is a colorized article produced according to the above method and assembly, in addition to an associated computer writeable medium for executing numerically controlled application of a desired colorant scheme.
