Q:Can it be tinted darker?
by|Dec 4, 2022
2 Answers
Answer This Question
A:Â Hi Laurie, due to the natural lime foundation in our Limewash products, they come with a white base, which prevents the product from being tinted darker than Nube Gray or a comparable color. If you are looking for a darker color, please feel free to send an email to info@romabio.com and we would love to help!

A:Â I used it the way it is but I'm sure you can add any pigments or stains.

Q:I want to use this in my basement that has exposed masonry block walls but the bottom half of the was painted with a sealant type paint....is there anything I can do to prep the surface to continue the lime wash for a finished look?
by|Nov 25, 2022
2 Answers
Answer This Question
A:Â It depends on how long ago the sealant paint was put on. Sealants last roughly 3-6 months.
If it's older than that, continue with the lime wash.

Q:can this product be used on wood?
by|Sep 29, 2022
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A:Â Hi Jickjack. Classico Limewash is not intended to be used on wood. It could be used artistically in places that won't encounter traffic, such as wooden ceiling beams, but the process would differ from the package directions and could vary case by case. Please reach out to info@romabio.com for more guidance on any wood projects.

Q:Can this be used to stain beige-colored concrete foundation? Or would concrete paint be a better option for that
by|Sep 19, 2022
3 Answers
Answer This Question
A:Â I recommend you do a test with the stain. I used in on adobe walls because the lime wash breathes and gives a Matt like finish
by|Oct 9, 2022
A:Â I would recommend a paint for concrete
by|Sep 23, 2022
A:Â Our Classico Limewash is not a stain nor is it recommended for floors, patios or foundations.

Nice improvement
I didn’t care for the darker colored stones around our grill. Namely the black and dark terracotta stones. I used the grey lime wash product diluted 1 part product to 8 parts water. I simply dabbed it onto the stone with an old washcloth. It resulted in a less intense appearance which is what I was looking for. Great product.

Changed the whole look of our home
This stuff is awesome, really easy to use! Looks great. We did it one of the last nice days of fall before the temp dropped below 50 on the exterior of our home and it looks so great! We couldn’t be happier. I did need two of the .67 to cover the front, I could have maybe gotten away with watering it down more but we need it to withstand the elements, so thicker felt safer.

This line wash treatment was easy to apply with minimal prep and cleanup. I used for an indoor brick fireplace update and achieved the slightly rubbed off look I was hoping for.

We painted our red brick fireplace Nube gray, diluted 50%, and couldn’t be more happy with the results. This paint kept the flat, matte look of natural brick which I loved since I was afraid of it looking painted. The color is modern and warm.

Does not work on stone backsplash
We used this on our stone tile kitchen backsplash. My countertops and backsplash clashed and our builder choose our backsplash last minute when the tile we requested was late. Needles to say we hated it so we used this wash and even after sealing every splatter and dirt mark shoes and this is coming off where I clean. We are now removing and replacing it

Ok, so here is our situation and how this limewash (Nube Gray) worked for us. We had a retaining wall installed when we were on vacation and came back and hated the look. It was stone wall with dark stones and white stones which gave it a look some may like, but we just didn't. We got the limewash and first tried it diluted as they prescribe, which was about 1 to 1 with water. That looked too opaque and chalky after it dried, so hosed it off, tried a bunch of dilutions to increase the transparency to let some of the stone's color show through while toning down the dark stones. Romabio isn't going to like this, but we did 1 to 6 ratio (1 quart limewash to 6 quarts water) which was just about right, could have gone more. So almost two gallons from one quart and it worked great on over 50 feet of retaining wall, all with one quart! Went back and wiped down the whiter stones to let some of the color and texture show through while leaving the dark stones as is. We didn't do the whole spraying the wall thing, just left it on except where we hand wiped the lighter stones with wet rag. Got a surprise rain storm two days later and surprisingly it only improved the look from the picture below, looks more natural now. This product is great! If you don't like the look, hose it off (a little scrubbing). If you don't like the level of opacity, add more water and try again. If you want it antiqued, hit it with your hose. Just a great solution, after paying what we did for the wall, spending a few bucks for this solution was a savior.

Love the look and super easy to use and adjust coverage!
This is an amazing product. You can completely adjust the level of coverage or opacity you want. I was able to get the German smear look I wanted and completely cover the ugly color of the original brick.
