Limewash Prime & Paint Bundle - Small Room (4L)

Dalray Limewash paint, Dalray Limewash Primer and one Dalray wooden block brush. See the description above for the number of packs in your chosen bundle, and select your paint colour using the options above.

Each pack of limewash paint makes approximately 4L, covering around 30m² with two coats on smooth, properly prepared walls. See the description above for the total paint volume and coverage of your chosen bundle.

The bundle also includes primer to prepare the surface before painting. Mix and apply the primer separately, following its packaging instructions.

Paint coverage varies with application technique and is lower on rough or porous surfaces such as brick and render.

For each full 1.6kg limewash paint bag, use 3L water. Mix primer separately according to its own packaging directions. Prepare the surface, apply primer where required and allow it to dry, then apply at least two thin coats of limewash with the block brush. See the application guide.

Stir thoroughly before use and between coats. Apply in relaxed criss-cross strokes or a soft cloud-like motion to build natural depth and variation. A third coat is optional for additional texture; using less paint on the brush generally creates a more textured finish.

The surface must be clean, dry and free from dust, oils or loose material. Repair cracks if required and ensure the surface is sound and suitably absorbent. Glossy or fully sealed surfaces should be dulled, sanded or primed before application.

Testing on a small area is recommended before full application.

Raw, absorbent brick and render generally do not require primer. On painted or mixed surfaces, Dalray Limewash Primer helps regulate suction and improve bonding.

On new or patched plasterboard, apply two coats of water-based acrylic undercoat first. On very dark colours, apply one to two coats for colour neutralisation, then follow with Dalray Limewash Primer. Mineral primer is not a stain blocker or plasterboard sealer.

Suitable for interior and exterior brick, masonry, stone, render, plaster and most previously painted walls with a matte or low-sheen finish. Ensure the surface is clean, sound and suitably prepared before application.

Limewash is not suitable for floors or wet zones such as inside showers. It may be used on general bathroom and laundry walls outside direct splash zones where there is adequate ventilation.

Sealing is optional for most interior limewash walls. Leaving limewash unsealed preserves its natural breathability, matte character and ease of touching up.

In higher-use interior areas such as hallways, entryways, busy family homes and commercial spaces, Dalray Acrylic Sealer may be applied to improve durability, reduce surface transfer and make the finish easier to maintain. As an acrylic coating, it will reduce the breathability of the limewash.

In bathrooms or other areas subject to regular humidity, use a compatible breathable mineral sealer. Dalray Acrylic Sealer may be suitable for well-ventilated bathrooms or powder rooms where humidity is limited and the surface is outside direct splash zones.

For exterior surfaces, use a compatible breathable mineral sealer designed for outdoor exposure. Dalray Acrylic Sealer is for interior use only.

Any sealer may slightly alter the colour, sheen, texture or tonal variation of limewash. Always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Dalray Limewash is a breathable mineral coating made from hydrated lime and mineral 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 and many modern limewash-style coatings, Dalray Limewash contains no added VOCs, plastics or acrylic binders, allowing it to form a natural mineral bond with absorbent surfaces.

The appearance of our limewash paint may vary depending on the surface, lighting, and primer used. Like all authentic limewash finishes, light surface transfer when touched is a natural characteristic of the mineral finish, particularly in the first few weeks while curing. This is part of what gives limewash its living, breathable quality and reduces over time. Using Dalray Limewash Primer can help reduce surface transfer. In higher-use interior areas, Dalray Acrylic Sealer may be applied for additional durability and easier maintenance, noting that it will reduce the breathability of the limewash.

This product is made primarily from hydrated lime sourced from limestone and combined with mineral pigments. Mineral additives are also added to improve workability and binding. No plastics or synthetic resins are added.

Limewash creates a soft, breathable mineral finish rather than a sealed paint film. The final result will vary depending on factors such as surface type, preparation, dilution, application technique and curing conditions.

As with all decorative finishes, proper surface preparation and application are essential to achieving the best result.

When mixing and applying, use appropriate protective equipment including a mask and gloves, and ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid inhaling lime dust and keep out of reach of children. To the extent permitted by law, Dalray’s liability is limited to replacement of the product or refund of the purchase price. See our terms and conditions and safety data for more details.
