Can I use Kalklitir's lime paint directly on my wall?
Our lime paint can be used directly on surfaces that are painted with matt or semi-matt water-based paint as well as on most unpainted surfaces such as concrete, gips, plaster, and wood. Wall colour does not have to be white before painting with lime paint.

Do I need a Primer before painting with Kalklitir's lime paint?
When using lime paint on surfaces that have already been painted with oil-based paint or lacquered surfaces, or if you have plaster on parts of the walls where you have fixed holes and cracks. Applying a water-based acrylic primer before you start using lime paint is advised. This is because lime paint will not bond with oil-based surfaces and plaster will absorb differently and applying a water-based acrylic primer to the whole wall will prevent discolouration. When painting on wood, use proper material to prevent knots from bleeding through.

Do I need a Top Coat after painting with lime paint?
Top Coat is a VOC free, water-based product in powder form that can be applied on top of lime painted surfaces to add a matte protective layer in cases where it is wanted and/or needed. Top Coat is used to protect walls from getting stains, spots and splashes etc. The more layers applied, the better protection is achieved.

Where can I use Kalklitir's lime paint?
Our lime paint can be used on most indoor surfaces, provided that the surface is stable and not flaking, is free of dirt, grease, and soluble salts, and the surface is absorbing the lime paint well, such as cement, brick, wood, plasterboard as well as surfaces that have already been painted with water-based paint or acrylic primer (that is free of Alkyd). Prepare your surfaces as you would for conventional paint, clean, dust, fix holes etc. and use acrylic-based primer where needed, (on spackle etc) to prevent any discolouration.

Can I use Kalklitir's lime paint in the bathroom or kitchen?
Our lime paint is not suitable for permanently damp areas or where you have constant water (like in showers etc). If lime paint is used around sinks or cooking areas etc. We recommend using a Top Coat to protect the wall. Our Lime paint has high PH and therefore contains a natural protection against fungus so applying lime paint on suitable bathroom wall(s) is ideal.
