Authentic slaked lime paint that gives a softly textured appearance and matte finish in a beautiful range of colors. Bonds to the surface through a natural process resulting in a durable, breathable coating.
APPLICATION: Can be applied to drywall, plaster, masonry, brick, stone and previously painted surfaces. The lime paint comes in a ready-mixed form, it only requires good stirring before use, preferably with an electric paddle mixer. It is typically applied in two coats using a block brush with multi-directional strokes. Ideally allow lime paint to dry 12 hours or more in between coats.
Prime with Color Atelier Mineral Primer on previously painted surfaces. On new drywall, always use a water based, stain blocking primer before our Mineral Primer.
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.
If applied over an existing smooth plaster wall that is absorbent, it can be polished to a shine much like a plaster finish.
A truly wonderful traditional material that ages beautifully, and will continue to patina years after.
COVERAGE: 1 gallon covers approximately 400 sq ft in 1 coat, depending on the surface and application, is usually applied in 2 coats.
