Sorry, I only just realised this topic was here. Having done some slate walling like this myself, I found the best thing is to mix up some purple/grey/green/blue colours (look at some pictures or pieces of slate, they're different colours from different areas). I used acrylics and painted the card on the surface first, cut into strips and painted the edges and then painted the ends as I went along.
