Lime Wash
Porter’s Original Lime Wash is a unique lime based coating blended with natural pigments.
It creates a soft weathered patina reminiscent of the wonderful finishes on the buildings of Tuscany, Portofino and other regions throughout the Mediterranean. Porter’s uses slaked and aged lime to give this finish its ageless beauty. It is a truly wonderful material that mellows gradually while it wears away. Lime Wash also has hygienic properties and acts as a mild fungicide due to its high pH.

Low odour and zero VOC. Lime Wash is non film forming, allows walling to ‘breathe’ and does not crack, peel or flake (provided render has no hairline cracking or efflourescence). Resists mould and airborne pollutant pickup.
Coloured with UV resistant powdered oxides. During the lifespan of the product colour variations will continue and the streaking may appear more prominent around moldings, window/door trim and other architectural elements.
Colour variations will appear more noticeable in deeper colours. Lime Wash remains soft and gradually washes away over a period of 10 to 12 years. Water wash up.
Exterior. Can be applied to cement render, bagged brickwork, concrete, masonry blocks, unglazed bricks, mud brick, sandstone, off-form concrete, tilt-up concrete panels and most absorbent building stones. Perfect for painting cement and terracotta pots and tubs.
Approximately 8m² per litre.
Lime Wash is available in 1 litre (Deep Base/tintable only), 4 litres and 15 litres.

About the
Seller
Crafting colour and texture in hand-made paints, wallpapers and timber flooring for 35 years.
Porter’s Paints history starts in 1982, when Sydney house painter Peter Lewis began making traditional lime washes in a small garage in Randwick, after having discovered old paint recipes in his grandfather Fred Porter's diaries.
Fred Porter was a builder, and it was during his European travels that he collected details of building techniques and paint finishes.
It was shortly after his death that Peter discovered the diaries, found the recipes for traditional paints and decided to produce improved versions.
Porter’s Paints is now sold around the world from New Zealand to L.A. Offering specialty finishes with a depth of colour and texture, Porter’s Paints offers unrivalled finishes for your project.
