Limewash Prime & Paint Bundle - Large Room (8L)

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 and exterior 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. Ensure the surface is absorbent; glossy or fully sealed surfaces should be dulled, sanded or primed before use.

A primer is not required on raw, absorbent mineral surfaces such as brick or render. Limewash can be applied over suitable water-based undercoats in many situations. However, for best and most consistent results across all substrates, we recommend using the Dalray Limewash Primer, which helps regulate suction, improve mineral bonding, and reduce rub-off. On unpainted gyprock or very dark colours, apply a water-based undercoat first, followed by the Dalray Limewash Primer.

Sealing is not needed for most internal walls. In high-use areas such as hallways, entryways, gyms, bathrooms 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.

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

Mix the powder with clean 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. Three coats may be applied for added texture.

We offer free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $59.95. All orders are dispatched within 1 - 3 business days. Tracking information is provided once your order is shipped.

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

This is a natural mineral finish and variation in colour and texture may occur. Always test a small area before full application.
