You can do 1 coat of you prefer, thought can look patchy, it depends a little on your wall type, you can only clean gently with a soft cloth - it can be used on some types of wood, email us for more detailed answers sales@bauwerkcolour.com
You can do this in one coat however it's best in multiple codes and reducing each coat, which allows the translucent cloud like effect seen in traditional lime wash. Yes you can seal it. Romanio has several depending on the look you are after. Cleaning is best done using a tamping motion instead of a running motion. You can apply this to furniture, however you definitely need to degloss the surface and prime. I would also seal it with a matte sealer. Hope this helps.
If you're wanting to do this in a two coat process you can also tint the primer 30% different than the lime wash itself. then as you apply it use another brush with a little bit of water to kind of create a cloud effect.. 👍

Hi, once the walls are complete how many years does lime wash last? I live in an extremely humid environment with the air conditioner running more than heat. Do you have to treat the walls with anything special to repaint them with acrylic paint? Thanks!
Hi Cinderella, You can expect a similar life expectancy to that of other quality brand paints provided that the paint is applied in the manner recommended by BAUWERK. The pigments used in BAUWERK Limewash paints are mineral based, colourfast and UV* stable. Our paints are suitable for a high humidity environments, and is not film-forming and therefore not prone to blistering or peeling.

@@hellrazorr3904 did you mean Sandstone? If so it is a light colour but should still show a small amount of movement. A trick to create more movement, is to use a smaller brush or you can apply another colour over the top of Sandstone that way you see both colours come through.

Hi there, can you patch paint some spots on the wall after the wall has been painted using 1 prep coat and 1 coats of this paint?
I they are underlying spots on the wall - the you may need ot start again making sure you use a primer, email us for specific preperation advice
For plaster and dry wall and or gyprock or plasterboard
We recommend 2 coats of a good quality undercoat/sealer primer
Noted, will be in touch if that happens. Thanks guys
Could I use a super matte paint to achieve this effect?
No this look is only achieved by using our limewash
Is this done with any normal paint? Or a specific lime wash quality?
This is Limewash
So do you just completely neglect the floor? Nodrop cloth or anything.
up to you, but probably a good idea to use a drop cloth
Hi - is the technique different for outdoor concrete walls?
we also have a video here - showing how to paint exterior concrete
Can you please tell the colour name
It is Nullarbor
Hi, once the walls are complete how many years does lime wash last? I live in an extremely humid environment with the air conditioner running more than heat. Do you have to treat the walls with anything special to repaint them with acrylic paint? Thanks!
Hi Cinderella,
You can expect a similar life expectancy to that of other quality brand paints provided that the paint is applied in the manner recommended by BAUWERK. The pigments used in BAUWERK Limewash paints are mineral based, colourfast and UV* stable.
Our paints are suitable for a high humidity environments, and is not film-forming and therefore not prone to blistering or peeling.
@@levigilbert5526 Thank you!

Hi what can I do if my wall already has a semi glossy white paint on it?
Give them a light sand - then Step 1. We recommend 2 coats of a good quality undercoat/sealer primer
Step 2. Apply 1 coat of BAUWERK PREP COAT
Step 3. Apply 2 coats BAUWERK LIMEWASH
Note- You can skip Step 1. If your walls are already correctly primed and without patches and repairs
What paint is it?
Hi It is Bauwerk Colour Limewash
hi.
what is the name of this color?
This beautiful colour is Nullarbor
Um. It looked like a plain painted wall at the end lol
Um, it’s probably just how it looks on the camera 😬
Yeah i was looking for a more raw textured result.
It's likely what you're watching it on. In person you'd pick up a lot more of the texture.
Maybe you need to go to the optician
@@long_one5491paint with a sponge. This was big years ago. Now they just call it something else.
What tipe of paint should I use?
This is our Bauwerk Colour Paint www.bauwerkcolour.com
does the wall have to be white to start off? the wall i plan on painting already has a light blue colour paint. so wondering if the limewash will have enough vpigment to cover that up
It doesn't have to be white, but it needs to be correctly prepped - as a guide as I don't know your exact wall type - this is for plaster or drywall or plasterboard
Step 1. We recommend 2 coats of a good quality undercoat/sealer primer
This video demonstration doesn’t show cutting in against a ceiling or around sockets neither corners against opposite walls , just on a squared off wall which makes it look easy
Yes you are right, we will try an do one of those also soon, use one of our small brushes then feather back off with the larger brush
@@bauwerkcolour we are in the middle of a large project using your product which is new to us and we haven’t had much experience with limewash , we have a blue wall which was painted when the house was first built with vinyl Matt emulsion , we have primed over the wall twice then applied the prep coat and two coats of bauwerk but the cutting in against the ceiling and around sockets has ghosted do you think this is down to a difference in the textured finish between a roller and a paintbrush (as obviously you can’t cut in with a roller)
@@stewrich4162 Can you perhaps email this to us with images so we can best advise thanks for letting us know
@@bauwerkcolour would you recommend rubbing the walls down after the prep coat is dry before applying the line wash as the surface feels very course after the prep coat has dried
@@bauwerkcolour would you recommend rubbing the walls down after the prep coat is dry before applying the line wash as the surface feels very course after the prep coat has dried
I think 1 minute to describe paint and sheen choices would have helped, but thanks anyway !
Hi Helena, happy to help with any advise we can, there are no sheen choices with limewash, it is a flat matt paint made from limestone, it works differently to standard paints, which are made form plastics and oils, hence the different sheen levels possible hope this helpful, let me know if I can answer in more depth
Hamko ve banana hiy
Algum brasileiro aqui pra falar como chama essa técnica em nosso idioma?
se traduzir direto fica lavagem com cal, mas se pesquisar na internet vai sempre encontrar conteúdos procurando por lime wash mesmo
I can’t see the effect 🤔 I am done and I think I could paint it with a roller 😏
Hi,
Lighter colours show less movement than our darker colours. Nullarbor as seen in this video, is one of our mid tone colours.
I have color “Sand”
@@hellrazorr3904 did you mean Sandstone? If so it is a light colour but should still show a small amount of movement. A trick to create more movement, is to use a smaller brush or you can apply another colour over the top of Sandstone that way you see both colours come through.
Its quick lime mixed with clay😅
What a lot of trouble for nothing.
Confidence is kind. This is a weird take.
What colour did you use here?
The colour is Nullarbor.
