How to apply Lime Paint
Applying whitewash is similar to the application of normal paint on internal or external walls. You can therefore use paint brushes or roller. Usually it’s necessary to apply two coats.
Preparing of the surface: If it is applied to a wall which has already been painted with acrylic paint in good conditions or a newly wall which has been recently plaster with lime-based plaster, it is not necessary to apply a primer. The whitewash can be applied directly to the surface. With other surfaces , you should use a primer first.
Dilutions: normally, whitewash is diluted with water in a 2:1 proportion (50%). Some painters prefer to dilute it more for the first coat and less for the second coat.
