Our professional-quality Lime Paint can be easily applied directly over existing layers of paint.

Is lime paint actually paint with lime?
All wall paints contain lime as a raw material. Although lime was historically widely used, it is a rather limited raw material. Nowadays, we opt for less lime while maintaining a high-quality product with the authentic, matte finish. Thankfully, this isn’t an issue, as our lime paint combines less lime with superior results.

Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and dust-free for the best adhesion, and enjoy the beautiful, matte finish that lime paint offers..

Why choose Lime Paint?
Lime Paint is ideal for anyone seeking an eco-friendly, trendy, and timeless finish. Both professionals and DIY enthusiasts can create a character-filled look with lime paint that lasts for years.
Do I need a primer?
A primer is essential when painting on absorbent surfaces. If you have an absorbent surface, such as freshly plastered walls, apply our bonding primer as a base. This primer enhances the adhesion of the lime paint and prevents it from drying too quickly, which can cause uneven coverage. Properly applying the primer prepares the surface for the best result, allowing you to achieve a smooth finish. Make sure to let the primer dry completely before applying the lime paint for the best results.
Which brush do I need?
You can apply lime paint with a standard brush. Alternatively, you could use a large flat brush or a block brush. These allow you to create a unique, authentic look. This will require some skill, but with a bit of practice, you can achieve stunning results. Using these brushes opens up opportunities to experiment with texture and technique, giving your walls or furniture a one-of-a-kind appearance. Be sure to apply the paint with even strokes for the best coverage and final result.
Which roller do I need for wall paint?
Lime paint can also be applied effectively with a paint roller. This ensures a quick and efficient application, especially on larger surfaces. Use a roller with a short pile for optimal coverage and a smooth finish. Ensure that the roller remains sufficiently moist to prevent the paint from drying too quickly, which could result in streaks or uneven coverage. With the right technique, using a roller makes it easy to enjoy the benefits of lime paint, while also giving your space a beautiful matte finish.
