Can I Paint a Limewash Interior Wall?Updated 2 years ago

Limewash is a very traditional finish, used to decorate and protect porous stone and lime rendered surfaces.

Limewash must be stable before painting. If surfaces are chalky/ friable, they must be primed correctly to ensure adhesion.

Prime with one coat of Optiva Primer

Topcoat x 2 with Optiva 3, Optiva 5, Optiva 7, Optiva 20 or Optiva White, depending on sheen level required.

Ceilings can be top-coated with Anti Reflex 2.
