Check the colour first

No screen shows the true shade — test the colour on your wall before you order litres.

Bāli krēmīgs persikkrāsas tonis, maigāks par aprikožu krāsu — tuvāks rītausmas, nevis pusdienlaika krāsai. Lai tonis pilnībā atklātos, nepieciešamas vismaz divas kārtas; tikai pirmā kārta bieži izskatās plankumaina, un šim tonim tas ir normāli. Vislabāk iederas guļamistabās un lasīšanas stūrīšos, kur vēlaties mājīgumu, neizvēloties izteiktāku rozā vai oranžu toni.

Kā uzklāt Limewash

1Primer (PrepCoat) — essential

Our ZUBRA COLORS PrepCoat is specially formulated for lime paints and water-based Limewash paints. It does two things at once: it improves adhesion (working like a universal primer) and evens out absorbency so the paint can “sink into” the surface — the key to the Limewash effect.

How to apply it

White skim coats

Dilute PrepCoat with ~20% water.

Dark / coloured surfaces

Do not dilute — cover the surface completely to “switch off” the colour underneath.

Plasterboard with filled joints

2 coats: 1st coat with ~20% water — evens out the different absorbency of the board and the filler; 2nd coat undiluted.

Tools: brush, roller or spray.

⚠️ A note on other primers

40% of the Limewash effect depends on the right primer. You can test other primers at your own risk — always do a trial with our paint on your own wall first.

2Primer drying time

Wait at least 6–8 hours. Even if the surface is “dry to the touch”, there may still be moisture inside. Painting too early mixes the layers and spoils the effect.

3Painting with Limewash

Use a brush only (a wide block brush or our double Limewash brush). A roller will not give the Limewash effect — the result will be flat, not what this technique is about.

The paint is ready to use — do not dilute it.

Technique

Paint in random, criss-cross strokes, spreading the paint across the wall.
Don't paint “clouds” like the ones in online drawings — it is easy to overdo it and lose the natural look.
The standard is 2 coats (6–8 h between coats).
3 coats: when you want softer transitions, or with near-white (very light) shades where the primer may show through.

Where does the cloud-like finish come from?

Limewash is slightly translucent. The difference between the primer colour and the paint colour, plus areas with more or less paint from each brushstroke, creates irregular, mineral transitions.

What will you see after the 1st coat?

🎨 Darker / neutral colours

Edges and streaks may look sharp — that is normal. After the 2nd (sometimes 3rd) coat they even out.

🤍 Near-white colours

Sometimes a 3rd coat is needed, because a light paint over a white primer can look flat.

Working with two colours (options)

In layers

1st coat darker, 2nd coat lighter → subtle show-through and depth.

Two colours on one brush

A special effect — best kept to a single accent wall rather than large areas (on big walls it can look too “handmade”).

💡 Important

Before you order litres, get 250 ml testers and check the colour, the number of coats and any combination of two shades. It is the only reliable way to see how your wall will turn out.

4Protective coat (optional)

Natural Limewash finish = no sealer

The surface is stable (no dusting, does not mark your hands);
It keeps its deep, mineral matt look.

Downside: it is not washable — a stain is usually touched up with a thin “patch” of paint.

With a protective sealer (matt)

✅ Pros

Better resistance to dirt and moisture (e.g. around hidden doors and splash zones).

⚠️ Cons

It slightly darkens the colour and changes the character of the matt finish; it is a thin “film” that can be damaged by aggressive cleaning.

For direct contact with water (e.g. a shower) you need a two-component polyurethane — a different category of protection.

📌 Our recommendation

Use a sealer only where it is really needed. You can always ask us for advice on the right product and technique.

💡 Extra tips

Do not dilute the paint (it is perfectly prepared for brushwork).
250 ml testers before every larger order — you will see the colour in your own light and on your own wall texture.
Limewash paint is odourless and friendly to your household, children and pets.
If you really want to use a primer other than ours, do a trial with Limewash on your wall before you paint the whole area.

250 ml paraugs – ideāli piemērots krāsas pārbaudei lielākā laukumā.

Abi varianti ir pieejami katrai krāsai, lai palīdzētu izvēlēties ideālo toni.

Ar 1 litru pietiek aptuveni 15 m² vienai kārtai.

Žūšanas laiks: 4–6 stundas.
Kārtu skaits: 1–3 kārtas; vairāk kārtu piešķir izteiktāku mākoņveida efektu.
PrepCoat / grunts: pareiza grunts kaļķa krāsai ir ļoti svarīga.
Virsmas sagatavošana: piemērota ģipša apmetumam, parastajām krāsām, ģipškartonam un špaktelētām virsmām – secība ir šāda: Limewash grunts → kaļķa krāsa (vairākas kārtas). Uz cementa-kaļķa apmetuma pirms PrepCoat uzklājiet dziļas iedarbības grunti.

Mēs cenšamies izsūtīt pasūtījumus katru otrdienu un piektdienu. Ja jums sūtījums nepieciešams steidzami, uzrakstiet man vietnē WhatsApp – skatīsimies, ko varam darīt!

Preču atgriešana
Lai nebūtu jāatgriež krāsa, iesaku vispirms pasūtīt krāsu kartītes (papīra paraugus, kas nokrāsoti ar īstu Limewash krāsu) vai 250 ml testera iepakojumus. Ņemiet vērā, ka neviens tālruņa vai datora ekrāns neataino toni tieši tādu, kāds tas izskatās dzīvē.

Aprikožu dūmaka

Maiga persiku toņa krāsa ar izsmalcinātu aprikožu grāciju. Aprikožu dūmaka izstaro vieglu maigumu un dabisku siltumu, tās krēmīgā bāze ir maigi piesātināta ar pasteļtoņu niansēm, radot rāmu, līdzsvarotu harmoniju, kas lieliski iederas gaišās un mājīgās telpās.

Šī krāsa ir lieliski piemērota telpām, kurās valda gaišums, mirdzums un rāms miers - guļamistabām, dzīvojamām istabām vai bērnu stūrīšiem, kur tā rada maiga miera auru.

Ar Limewash pietiek tikai ar divām kārtām, lai iegūtu miglainu, valdzinošu plīvuru un plūstošas toņu pārejas. Sienas iegūst smalku dziļumu, un krāsa viegli rotaļājas ar gaismas mainīgajām noskaņām.

Aprikožu dūmaka atgādina maigu pavasara rīta vēsmu: gaisīgu, nomierinošu un acīm tik patīkamu.
