Questions and Answers for ROMABIO 1 qt. Riposo Beige Limewash Interior/Exterior Paint

A:  If you are applying Classico Limewash to unpainted, unsealed brick that is absorbent, there is no need for a primer. Do a simple water test to see if your brick easily absorbs it. If you plan to apply it to an un-absorbent masonry surface, you will need to use a mineral-based primer such as our MicroGrip. It's important to note that the primer is opaque so you wouldn't be able to expose the brick underneath the primer as it is full coverage.

A:  All our colors are available in 1L sizes for purchase. If you'd like a brochure that includes our color chips, make your request at info@romabio.com and we will happily send one to you. Once you decide on a color, we always recommend purchasing the 1L for swatching before you order the full amount for your project.

A:  No it does not have a pink hue to it.

A:  Hi Danielle. Classico Limewash is not waterproof and is not recommended for horizontal surfaces as they will wear down faster than vertical ones. Classico Limewash is a slaked lime natural product that is not able to handle foot traffic, nor is it washable. Also, ceramic tile is typically coated and/or sealed to prevent wear & tear. Our limewash can only adhere to porous, absorbent surfaces so if it can't absorb water easily, it can't absorb the paint.

A:  Hi Jenn. None of our colors are a match for that but Pure White is a cooler white and therefore I would recommend Bianco White as it is our whitest white. Our other whites are a bit warmer and may contrast too much. You can reach out to us for a color swatch card at info@romabio.com.

A:  Hi Louis, please email our Customer Service team at info@romabio.com with pictures of your project currently and what has already been used in the project and we can help!

A:  You apply one coat of the Classico Limewash in your desired color to your unpainted, unsealed, absorbent brick. Then once the product begins to dry, you distress it with either a hose stream, Light pressure washer, brush or rag, depending on the how much brick you want to expose and the effect you desire. You essentially have 24-48hrs to play with the look before it begins to cure as long as temps aren't too high. Email us for more detailed help at info@romabio.com.

A:  I can't see the picture about which you speak but, if the original background of whatever you're painting is dark enough (or you've painted it a dark color before using the lime wash), all you have to do is allow the dark color to show through by either not brushing on the lime wash too thickly in various areas or by going back, while still wet, and wiping/brushing off some of the lime wash.

A:  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.

A:  Hello. Our lime paints are fine for high heat areas in that they will not catch fire or melt. It is still susceptible to charring and soot just like brick would be.

A:  We use it on our fireplace that was converted from wood burning to gas logs and have not had any issues.

A:  We can send you color swatches from our Curated Collection. Please reach out to info@romabio.com and provide your mailing info. Ciao!
