So easy to use
I will lead this with the fact that I am not in construction, and I have no artistic or crafty skills. We bought a house that had a partial remodel. The fireplaces didn’t match the cooler tones of the house so I did some research, watched the videos, and decided to try it out. Nothing is usually as ‘easy’ as the videos show…but this was! I love how it came out. Tips: you need to wet it down again if you don’t move fast enough and I used a whisk to make sure it was blended.

    Cristallo White for the Win!
    I wanted to brighten up my dated brick wall and I love how it came out. I used the Cristallo White Limewash, and only ended up using 2.5 cups of it for my entire wall, which is about 18’x10’. I diluted the paste to 10 parts water and 2.5 parts limewash. I sprayed the brick with water throughout the process. I used the Romabio brush and when it was dry I noticed a bit of unevenness/brush strokes, so I sprayed the brush with water and then went over those spots again and it evened out nicely.

        Easy to apply!
        Dramatic change to my fireplace. Its a great product and very easy to use. You can work with it for several hours if you want to change the shading etc. Lots of ways to change it, sponge, rag etc.

          Covered great! The hard part was exposing the original brick, the video made it look so easy but my bricks sucked in the solution so I was scrubbing so hard ripped my fingers raw. I’d recommend not painting the ones you want exposed or at least not saturating the bricks those w the solution

          Thank you for choosing Romabio, and for taking the time to post a review of our product! We are glad you are happy with the results of your project. It is unfortunate that the application was not as you expected. For future knowledge it may help to work in smaller sections; wet the brick paint while wet and distress then move to the next small section.

            Choose Limewash not paint!

            We did our fireplace with this and we really like it. Watch the videos so you know what to expect and how to work with it. We diluted it 75% wanting some brick color to show thru. The mix was very watery but still covered the brick really well so we still had to do a good amount of wiping off/distressing. Wait for it to dry to really see how well it covers the brick.

            first time using to redo a fireplace. only used half the amount of water instead of the 1:1 ratio. it was still quite runny and dried more opaque than i anticipated. nevertheless was happy with the product. only suggestion is don't be fooled by the runny consistency. i thought i would go back and blot some off after but i was happy with the outcome. had i used more water i could have gotten by with the one quart.

            Absolutely Love!
            We wanted to brighten up our house and after some research we decided on limewash. We decided to order 2 gallons for the front brick of our home ( only part of our home with brick). Shipping was super fast. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. My husband and I did it all in about 5 hours with a brush. We LOVE the end results. Clean up was so simple. I cannot Recommend this product enough. And at such a great price!!

              Easy to apply
              This product is very easy to apply. The entire house was lime washed by brush with the exception of the high spot on side of home. I would recommend if having to use sprayer on any portion of home that you do entire section with either brush or sprayer. Doing both gives a slight difference in coverage which can be noticeable. Overall, my wife and I love this product and recommend it to anyone wanting to update their old brick home.

                Easy to apply, love it! Totally transformed my old, dingy fireplace! Be sure to buy the special Romabio masonry brush and watch their YouTube videos for a great application. For the little areas I just used an old blush brush I had cleaned, and the new 3M painters tape for delicate surfaces (the purple one). So easy and simple to do!

                I bought this product to update our red brick fireplace. I did not realize I would have to mix the product with water, but that does allow you to control the opacity of the coverage. The directions suggest a minimum mixture of 50/50 product to water, but this ratio still mostly covers the color of the brick. So if you want to tone down or wash out but not mostly cover the color of the bricks, you would want more water. It takes a few minutes to thoroughly mix, as the product is kind of a putty consistency. I was covering a roughly 8' x 10' area and ordered the quart size, and had maybe 1/4 of the can left over (using 50/50 ratio). It dries to touch pretty quickly. Although I expected a bit lighter coverage, I am pleased with the results. I did this about 3 months ago, and it is holding up fine - no issues with it brushing or flaking off.

                .67 is a gallon on Home Depot’s site. It’s so you can add water to the bucket and apply immediately. Worked great. A few areas need touched up, but I’m not buying another gallon to do so. It looks good and it was super easy to apply.

                  Easy to apply, covered in one coat, finished column and bar about 1 month ago, exceeded expectations as it is simple, quick and looks much better than the original stone. I’m not a fan of brown. Used a roller with 1/2 “ nap and a paint brush to apply.

                  I love this product! It was so easy to work with and to acheive different looks withing the 5 day time frame if I was indecisive. I chose a full application (I didn’t wipe off the product at all) but it still looks natural allowing all the imperfections of the brick to show through! I actually enjoy spending time in my living room now, it’s so bright and airy.

                  It was very easy to apply and get the distressed look, however my color may have been mislabeled. Once I applied over the entire fireplace and waited the recommended dry time, the color came out very beige.
