Natural Chalk Paint - Economical Breathable Paint for Historic Buildings - Auro 326
An economical, off white super matt paint. Hygroscopic to allow good breathability for walls; this is perfect for older, historic buildings. Zero VOC. A bit like old fashioned distemper.
This paint first looks semi transparent when first applied but dries to a flat opaque finish after about 20 minutes - this is completely normal.
Application
For the prime coat, dilute the paint with 20% water, then apply up to three undiluted coats of paint. Allow for 24 hours of drying time between coats. Want to paint lime paints over big brand / plastic paints? Read this.
