Lime Paint is a dead-flat "live" paint designed to produce the elegant, rustic finish of traditional limewash in an easy to apply, modern latex paint emulsion. This finish changes while it dries, producing a distinct bloom effect. Formulated and richly pigmented to produce complex, lustrous colors that withstand fading. Lime Paint lightens when it dries, unlike many other finishes, and produces a finish with a variety of values. We typically recommend darkening your selection slightly when working with this product and testing prior to application for this reason.
Lime Paint does not require any special wax or sealer, nor does it require special mineral primers. Unlike traditional lime-based finishes no special consideration is needed to surface porosity. The finish is highly durable, can be cleaned with ease and is designed to resist marring.
We recommend Lime Paint be applied within one month to produce the strongest "bloom" effect.
