FAQs

How much paint do I need?

The 2.5L tin provides enough paint for a reasonable area, but coverage varies depending on the surface and application. Calculate the wall area to determine the quantity needed.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While the paint is suitable for interior use, consider the humidity levels in bathrooms. Ensure proper ventilation.

What kind of brushes and rollers should I use?

Use high-quality brushes and rollers designed for interior paint. A roller will help apply an even base coat, and a brush is perfect for creating the limewash effect.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water, as the paint is water-based. Dispose of waste responsibly.

Do I need to prime the walls?

Using the Rust-Oleum Limewash Effect Undercoat will improve coverage and the depth of colour on bare or previously painted surfaces.

Can I apply this paint over wallpaper?

It's recommended to remove wallpaper before applying the paint for the best results.

What is the drying time?

The paint is touch dry in 1 hour and fully dry in 4 hours.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or coverage.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply an even coat and experiment with different brushstrokes for desired effect. Consider applying an undercoat.

Color not as expected.

Allow for drying time as the color may appear different when wet. Consider the lighting in the room. Always test the color first with tester sachets.
