In high moisture or high traffic areas, we recommend finishing the Lime Paint with Color Atelier Sealers; water-based sealer or wax-based sealer. The sealer will give protection and is easily cleanable.
Lighter colors have a more subtle movement quality in the finish, while darker colors have a more textured appearance to them. In order to increase the movements, similar to a plaster aesthetic, applying two different color strengths in layers would be recommended. Typically, a darker strength is used for the first coat, while a lighter strength is applied as the second coat on top.
