Thank you.

It's actually not rebar - We mostly use this stuff called C-Grid. It's carbon fiber and apoxy.

I wouldn't.
Pic related is how we've done it in the past - Though it turned out cool, it was far to much work and I'd rather never do it again.
I hate drywall more than anyone - But unfortunatly with the way houses are built today, it's like the only option... If you want a concrete house (lord knows I do...) you kind of have to know that from the beginning and start with it.
But as you can see, we basically made giant concrete tiles and glued them to the wall. (We use hotglue and this stuff called PL.)
They're about 3/4 of an inch thick and made out of special stuff called GFRC - Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete.

Prolly filling bubble holes.
We pour them upsidedown in the mold on a vibrating table - This helps, but after it cures and you flip it over and polish, you always open some up.
We fill them with a slury batch of just cement, pigment and water.
then we have to repolish...
Idk - Nothing about it is very hard, it's just all semi tedious.
