Romabio Classico Limewash is an authentic, slaked-lime paint that is specially formulated to create unique white wash effects for Interior and Exterior unpainted brick, stone and other masonry surfaces. This Limewash paint is easily applied as a 1-coat process to a damp surface and is washed off with a garden hose or spray water bottle to create an antique lime wash finish equal to the look in historic Europe.

- Resists UV damage, peeling or flaking, for a durable and breathable paint finish with no maintenance, unlike a mortar wash with German schmear

Excellent Product
Loved applying this product. It was so easy! Mixing it, we used the lesser measure of water for a bit thicker consistency. It went on beautifully, and we did not need a second coat. Was going to distress it, but the look was so lovely, we left it as is. Coverage using that thickness was about 100 sq ft. We used a 2” brush for our fireplace, because the inexpensive $12 recommended brush we bought splattered the product everywhere! Total project time including prep and cleanup and a two inch brush was 3 hrs.

We love the look of our indoor fireplace.
My husband and I lime washed one coat on our fireplace . Size Approx 8’ x 8’. We used one coat at a 1:1 ratio of water and lime wash. We used one coat because I liked the texture coming through. I am
Not sure if I can post the pic but it looks amazing. We used 3/4 of the lime wash.

Get it!!
Easy to use and turned out PERFECTLY !! Not drippy if you minimize the amount of water. Also, if you just want a, "light" limewash effect, (The original stone visible.) increase the water ratio to 80% water: 20% romabio. I did that vs. wiping most of the product off. (Which wastes time and money.)

Hello. We are glad you got good results. What you're describing is a dilution of 400%. We have to remind folks that overdiluting the Classico Limewash will certainly get you the look you want but when you saturate the binders, the paint won't last as long as there's very little left to hold it in place. Romabio does have lime paints that can be diluted up to 300% to achieve the same look without sacrificing durability. Visit romabio.com for more info on all our different products.

Spectacular product!
The Romabio Limewash is amazing! We’ve used it on several spaces in our home and patio. It’s so easy to apply and gives the brick a time worn appearance.

Easy and beautiful
I’m finishing my entire house using the Avorio White. Mixing at a 1:1 ratio and slapping it on the house with a paintbrush. It’s time consuming, but yhe product is extremely easy to work with. I am a first time painter.

So easy even I did it
So normally I have to do things 3 times before I get it right. With this, I think I got it the 1st time! Really easy to paint on, wipe/spray off & clean up. Im so happy! I used Bianco white as I wanted it the bright white so as to match the walls. It brightened up my whole living room. Definitely the right choice! BTW - I used a quart & have alot left over. $35 paint + an old brush-boom! Saved alot of $

Took a lot more than we thought
It goes on easy with correct brush. But be careful to not do in the hot Sun as it dries too fast. I was able to power wash it off and fix what I needed to. We mixed it about 50:50 as it didn’t cover the red brick well otherwise. Took way more than we thought it would to do the house but it turned out nice!

Hi STDX! We are so glad your project turned out well. Yes, some brick can be much more absorbent than others and that's a tough thing to predict. And you're absolutely right about the flash drying. It makes distressing harder sometimes and other times won't allow full adhesion because it dries before it's had a chance to get inside the brick to calcify which gives you the strongest bond. We suggest trying to chase the shade when applying for optimal performance.

Super easy way to update that old fireplace
My wife and I helped my mom out with this one and I think it came out great! I would however recommend mixing it with a little less water than is called for. This fireplace took the whole .67 Gal and the color was Avorio White. I used a generic deck brush and that seemed to work out very good. A great update for 100 bucks or so.
