Meoded Paint & Plaster | Lime Wash | Lime Paint | Natural Matte Finish | Interior & Exterior
Meoded Lime Wash is a unique slaked limestone mineral coating that creates a beautiful weathered plaster-like finish on almost any interior and exterior surface. Formulated to easily achieve a matte, durable mottled finish with a soft touch using a two-coat brush application.
Preparation:
Surface Preparation- The surface should be clean from loose or flaking particles, dirt, oil, grease, chalk, and efflorescence. Previously gloss surfaces should be sanded, cleaned, and primed with before applying Lime Wash. For interior applications, it is recommended to apply two coats of Meoded Lime Wash Base Coat.
Interior Application:
Roll on a layer of Meoded Lime Wash Base Coat and allow the product 5 hours to dry.
First Coat: Apply the first coat of Lime Wash with a Meoded box brush in a cross-hatch or multi-directional pattern. Always maintain a wet edge throughout the application. Lime Wash dries similar to plaster and will show a dry edge mark if allowed to dry mid-way. Allow a minimum of 12 hours for the first coat to dry.
Second Coat: Apply the second coat in the same manner as the first.
Exterior Applications:
Roll on two layers of Meoded Lime Wash Base Coat and let fully dry.
For exterior applications over porous surfaces, it is recommended to dilute the first coat of Lime Wash with 25% water. Apply the first coat of Lime Wash with a Meoded box brush. After the first coat is dry, lightly dampen the first coat with clean water. The surface should appear slightly darker and not wet before applying the second coat. Apply the second coat in the same manner as the first coat.
Coverage: Meoded Lime Wash will cover approximately 250-300 sq. ft. per gallon for 2 coats, depending on surface porosity, and a gallon of Lime Wash Base Coat will cover approximately the same amount.
A quart of LimeWash will cover approximately 60-75 sq ft for 2 coats, and a quart of the Lime Wash Base Coat will cover approximately the same amount.
Tinting: Meoded Lime Wash can be tinted to any color using universal tints or machine colorants. Meoded’s natural concentrated “VOC Free” pigments are recommended.
