Hello Natalia! Please give our team a call at (323) 655-2211 or email us at info@portolapaints.com for more information. There are quite a few factors that effect price like square footage coverage needs, primers, etc. Prices are also available on our website - portolapaints.com/ - if you'd like to take a look around. Roman Clay is sold by the Kilo and Lime Wash is sold like a regular paint, by quart, gallon, 5 gallon.

Yes! The Roman Clay Topcoat is a protective sealer that provides additional durability.

Hello! This is a short tutorial video that has no audio, but does have the text. If you would like a longer, more detailed video check this one out - ua-cam.com/video/oLt1aPsSZw8/v-deo.htmlsi=D7CjLlf0-ZcsAOfb

The Matte Wall Sealer is applied in the same way as the Lime Wash, with a stain brush.

We typically see ceilings finished in a couple of different ways. As Roman Clay must be applied using a knife or a trowel (it should not be rolled on) ceiling application can be tedious, but the result is beautiful! Another other common option is to apply an ultra flat paint to the ceiling in a matching color to the Roman Clay. You won't get the same beautiful movement from an ultra paint as you would the Roman Clay, but it can help to give the room a more cohesive look.

Each coat of Roman Clay consists of multiple thin overlapping layers. You want to get about about 60%-70% coverage in the first coat. After allowing the Roman Clay to dry for 2-4 hours, lightly sand and wipe off any excess residue with a clean rag, and then begin your second coat.

Ideally, Roman Clay should be applied to super smooth, level 5-drywall surfaces. Roman Clay is applied in very thin, overlapping layers, so cracking isn't normally an issue unless the substrate cracks. If the fiberglass flexes with movement it may cause a problem. We definitely recommend sampling and testing it out on the surface before deciding if it works for you! For more information please contact our support team at (323) 655-2211.

Both finishes can easily be primed and painted over once it's time to move! The texture of Lime Wash is fairly minimal and is easily hidden by the coats of primer and paint that would be used to cover it.

Yes! Roman Clay gives you natural variation with highs and lows by using just one color, but you can layer two colors for a different look.

This is Roman Clay in the color "Sasha"!

Roman Clay has slightly more sheen, but is typically more durable and lifeftyle-proof. Roman Clay can also be cleaned and touched up easily. Lime Wash has more of a matte, slightly chalky finish and some colors can be more temperamental with touch ups.

Roman Clay is designed to be used on flat surfaces, so you would ideally need to skim coat over the orange peel before applying Roman Clay. Otherwise, Lime Wash is another product we offer that works well over texture and gives a similar visual result. We have a video on our channel comparing the two finishes!

@@portolapaints What do you mean by skim coat?

@@johnflores3089 skim coat is a thin layer of joint compound used to smooth out textured walls to give you the perfectly smooth surface you need for Roman Clay. Skim coat products can be purchased at your local hardware store.

Roman Clay is typically the more popular option due to its durability, though we have customers that swear on either finish for vent hoods.

If your walls have any kind of sheen we recommend priming with a water-based stain blocking primer. Any kind of sheen can cause problems with adhesion.

Roman Clay is a decorative wall finish and is not waterproof or stain-proof. It should not be used inside a shower.

Clear top coat, they sell it separately

These are 1/4 inch MDF boards that have been primed.

You can with proper preparation and priming. Ensure that your primer is properly adhering to the wallpaper, and if it is, you can apply right over top as you would on primed drywall.

Our Roman Clay is a two coat application, but each coat is multiple overlapping layers. You should get full color coverage over any primer with the two coats, but you can use an Ultra Flat paint match in the same color (like In The Navy) to make the application a little easier.

Absolutely! You can "color drench" a room in light or dark Lime Wash. It's becoming more and more popular to do so.

Yes, absolutely! You may want to lightly sand any high points with some fine grit sand paper (320-400 grit) between coats. Make sure to wipe off the debris before going in with an additional coat.

No.

Our Roman Clay is a water-based decorative wall finish. It is not waterproof or stain proof, so use in a shower or anywhere it will have contact with water is not recommended.

Hi Igor! Give us a call at (323) 655-2211, and we'd be happy to chat about it in more detail and give a thorough explanation. Can you tell me what Lime Wash color you used?

Like with a tinted primer?

@@network54sales You can roll on an Ultra Flat color match of the same Roman Clay color as the first coat, and just do one Roman Clay coat as the second.

Oh- DANG, just heard you get to the part where you said you can’t use it in the shower! I guess the van life folks didn’t read the fine print 🫣 … I wonder what would happen if you used it in the shower? I guess they’ll find out.

I remodeled my bathroom and used Roman Clay. I know how to use it and have used it several times. You absolutely NEED to seal it. At least with 3 coats. Any stray water splashes on the wall that doesn't have enough sealer or isn't sealed, will automatically stain. Hes being very generous about how practical it is in a wet environment.

Roman Clay is a paint/plaster hybrid material that is similar to Venetian plaster but with a more matte, organic finish. Specific to us, we’ve been developing and producing Roman Clay in Los Angeles for over 20 years.

We have, yes - metal knives can occasionally leave dark burnish marks when used with light colors in Roman Clay. We recommend using plastic knives with lighter colors to avoid this.

@@portolapaintswould you say Charleston is a light or dark color to use metal or plastic putty knife?

@@nguyenie3 - Charleston would be considered a light color. It can be done carefully with a metal knife, or to be safe, use plastic.

This is "Piano Room" Roman Clay!

Roman Clay is for interior use only, so exposure to most interior temperatures should be just fine. As Roman Clay is water-based, it should not be applied below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, or allowed to freeze when wet as it will effect the viability of the product.
