Bianco Limewash Paint (4L)

Dalray Limewash is a breathable mineral paint made from hydrated lime and natural pigments. It creates a soft, matte finish with gentle tonal movement and can be used on a wide range of surfaces including interior painted walls, brick, render, masonry and plaster. Unlike acrylic paints, limewash contains no added VOCs, plastics or synthetic binders and forms a natural bond with absorbent surfaces for an authentic, timeless finish.

This product dries to a velvety matte texture with natural movement and tonal variation. Limewash is a mineral finish and may have a soft, powdery surface feel after drying, which is a normal characteristic of authentic lime-based paints. Final appearance will vary depending on surface type, lighting and application technique. We recommend testing the colour in your space before full application.

A 1.6kg bag makes approximately 4 litres when mixed with water and will cover around 30 square metres with two coats on sealed or previously painted surfaces. Coverage will be lower on highly absorbent substrates such as brick, render or unsealed masonry due to increased porosity.

Suitable for interior brick, masonry, stone, render, plaster and most previously painted walls that have a matte or low-sheen finish. Ensure the surface is sound and free from dust before application. Limewash is not recommended for constantly wet environments such as inside showers but can be used in general bathroom or laundry walls with adequate ventilation.

The surface must be clean, dry and free from dust or oils. Remove loose material and repair cracks if required. Previously painted walls should be lightly sanded to improve adhesion. Ensure the surface is absorbent; glossy or fully sealed surfaces should be dulled or primed before use.

A primer is not required where the limewash is being painted on an (unpainted) absorbent mineral surface. More information on surface compatability can be found on our Application page.

For best results, we recommend the Dalray Limewash Primer. However, if you already have a suitable water-based or mineral-based primer at home, it can be used under limewash without issue.

Sealing is not needed for most internal walls. In high-use areas such as hallways, entryways, gyms or commercial spaces, a breathable mineral sealer may be used for added durability and easier maintenance.

Most acrylic sealers will deepen the colour and may introduce a soft sheen, so a small test area is recommended. Mineral Sealers may also deepen the colour slightly, but to a lesser extent. Acrylic sealers are more durable than Mineral sealers so it depends on the use case as to which will be best for your space.

Dalray does not currently sell sealers, but compatible breathable mineral sealers are widely available.

Mix the powder with clean warm water according to the instructions provided. Stir thoroughly before use and between coats. Apply using a block brush in relaxed, criss-cross strokes or in a cloud-like formation to build natural depth and variation. Two coats are recommended for most surfaces.
