Choosing your colour..

Pure & Original colour brochure consists of 165  beautiful colours from soft pastel colours to deep hues, from cool to warm tones and everything in between. Surface and lighting have a great influence on the final appearance of the colour on the wall. Also keep in mind that Pure & Original’s paints are made with raw materials. As a result, colours may deviate slightly.  Whether you are looking for a colour as an eye-catcher or a nice neutral basic shade or perhaps the latest interior trend, you can choose from a wide range.

Application Process...

Make sure you are well prepared before you start painting. Then apply a coat of WallPrim Pro, let it dry and follow with 2 coats of Fresco lime paint. For substrates with different absorption levels, it is recommended to apply a second primer coat with WallPrim Pro to completely neutralize the substrate. This ensures an even and optimal result.

You can apply Fresco lime paint with the special Fresco Lime wash brush. This is a nice large block brush that spreads the paint well over the wall.

Sealing, the final step.  Lime paint is very porous and not washable and will therefore quickly absorb water and grease. Direct water and/or condensation can leave traces of water. Fresco can be protected with Dead Flat Eco Sealer. Note: Applying layers that are too thick, or setting up irregularly, can lead to white haze (especially on dark colours). You must allow a drying time of at least 7 days of the Fresco before the Dead Flat Eco Sealer can be applied.
