Dalray Limewash comes in a powdered form. This means it weighs a quarter of the weight of regular paint, saving you money on shipping. All you have to do is add hot water and mix once it arrives!

We have detailed instructions on our website! To see how to use and apply our paint, please visit our instructions page.

Dalray limewash paint can be used on a wide range of surfaces, however different surfaces may require different application processes. See a summary chart of suitable surfaces and recommended preparation on our instructions page.

Our paint is compatible with a wide range of mineral or water-based primers. Of widely available brands. we recommend Dulux One Step Prep, Taubmans 3 in 1 Prep or Taubmans Professional Undercoat as these have adhesion qualities suited to limewash paint.

We do not recommend primers with stronger sealing properties or glossier finishes, such as British Paints Water-based 4 in 1 Prep Primer Sealer Undercoat, as these provide a less adhesive surface for the limewash paint and may result in a different finish. If you have used a strong sealing or glossy primer, we recommend lightly sanding the primed surface prior to application of limewash paint to provide a more adhesive surface.

We do not recommend oil-based primers as these generally produce a more glossy surface.

No - unpainted brick and render do not need to be primed regardless of whether they are indoor or outdoor surfaces. They are porous enough that the paint adheres extremely well to their surfaces, so a primer is not required.

If the brick or render has been previously painted, a primer will be required.

Typical coverage of Dalray paint is 10㎡ per litre, based on 2 coats of paint.

When our full sized product is mixed with 2.6L of water, it forms approximately 4 litres of limewash paint which is enough to cover about 40㎡ of primed wall with two coats. In other words, our 1.4kg product should be enough paint to cover an average sized bedroom (approximately).​

Coverage for brick and render will be lower due to the porosity and absorbancy of those surfaces.

Unlike the uniform tone of regular paint, limewash is known for its organic variations in tone, which look like subtle clouds from afar. The tone of Dalray Limewash is affected by the type of limestone, pigments and natural agents we add. We aim to produce limewash with subtle tone variations that tastefully bring rooms to life, however if you are looking for more variation in tone we'd recommend one of our darker colours. The darker the colour of the paint, the more variation.

It is an organic, natural product, so for this reason the texture of limewash is chalky, or slightly powdery and soft to the touch. Limewash paint is most chalky during the week after application while it sets and cures.

By nature of the organic elements in limewash paint, it is slightly less hardy than modern paints which have chemical additives to improve their hardiness. For most regular applications, such as painting the walls of lounge rooms, bedrooms and hallways, we find this isn't a concern.

For applications where there is expected to be additional wear and tear, customers could apply a clear, matte spray-on paint sealer once our limewash has dried to preserve the surface. However, the benefit of limewash without a sealer is that it's very easy to do touch-ups and it retains the breathability of the paint.
