LIMEPAINT
Lime paint with a fine, matte finish that brings mineral depth to the surface. The tool and method of application allow its expression to be subtly modulated while always keeping a continuous, refined finish.
The formulation includes the additive needed for outdoor use.
01 · PREPARAR
The substrate must be sound, clean, dry and properly prepared before applying Limepaint. The condition, texture and absorption of the substrate can affect the uniformity and final expression of the surface.
Direct application when the substrate has uniform absorption and is properly prepared.
If there are repairs or differences in absorption, apply Limeprimer first.
Uniform absorption and a surface with no visible repairs.
Before applying, mix Limepaint with a low-speed mixer until the pigment and mineral components are evenly distributed.
Mixer · Low speed
Mix again during application whenever necessary to keep the product uniform.
02 · APLICAR
2 coats · 0,33 L/m² total
Limepaint can be applied with a brush, flat brush or roller. The choice depends on the final expression you want to achieve.
01 · Primera coat
Apply a first coat of Limepaint continuously and evenly with the chosen tool, keeping a uniform load throughout the area.
02 · Segunda coat
Once the first coat is dry, apply a second one keeping a regular load and the same application criteria over the whole surface.
Always work in complete sections and avoid changing tool, load or direction within the same surface.
03 · TEXTURAS
The tool and direction of application subtly change the reading of Limepaint. The finish always keeps its fine, matte character, but can show more or less movement depending on the chosen gesture.
TEXTURA 01
Herramienta Brush
Work with cross brushstrokes, gently alternating the direction of movement and overlapping the passes continuously. Keep a regular load to achieve a balanced surface with a subtle mineral movement.
Gentle movement · Mineral · Uniform
TEXTURA 02
Herramienta Brush
Apply Limepaint with predominantly vertical brushstrokes, keeping a regular load and a stroke scale consistent with the tool. Overlap the passes continuously to avoid breaks between brushstrokes. The brushstroke should keep the true scale of the brush, without oversized strokes.
Directional · Calm · Refined
TEXTURA 03
Herramienta Roller
Spread Limepaint continuously and evenly, keeping a uniform load and avoiding product build-up. Keep the same application criteria over the whole area.
More uniform · Continuous · Matte
04 · COMPROBAR
Limepaint creates a fine, matte, mineral surface with a continuous look and a slight visual depth. The tool and method of application can introduce subtle variations in movement without turning the surface into a decorative finish.
Matte · Mineral · Fine · Continuous
The mineral nature of the product, substrate absorption and hand application can create small variations in movement and tonal perception. These variations are part of the material's own expression.
Differences in absorption, texture or preparation of the substrate can transfer to the finish.
An uneven distribution of the pigment and mineral components can create unwanted differences.
Changes in load, tool or direction within the same area can produce visible differences and break the continuity of the finish.
Validate before you start
Produce a sample on a representative substrate using the same preparation, colour, tool, number of coats and application texture planned for the project.
The sample must validate the complete system, not just the colour.
