Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply Tintural paints in a bathroom or kitchen? 

Natural Paints are not suitable for interior wet areas and are best for low-traffic rooms. In heavy traffic areas and areas that may be exposed to occasional splashing, you can use Tintural's Aqua Varnish as a light protective finish coat. 

Can I apply my product in all weather conditions? 

No, limewash paints and natural coatings are sensitive to extreme cold and heat. The ideal temperature for use is between 7 and 27° C. Do not apply lime paint when its raining and make sure the weather forecast does not call for rain in the 48 hours following application.

How long do I have to wait between 2 coats?

Wait a minimum of 6-8 hours between coats. Respect stipulated drying times. It is imperative to have a fully dry surface before applying the next coat. 

Are Tintural paints 100% natural?  

Tintural paints and coatings are between 95% and 100% natural, and have low to no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

Can I use Tintural lime paints outside?  

Multi Paint & Primer can be used in interior and exterior applications.

What will I receive in my package ?  

Your package will include all products for your project: the ordered quantity of paint or coating product, the appropriate amount of pigment for your chosen colour based on that paint quantity, the how-to guide and technical sheet, and any tools you added to your order.

Should the primer/ base coat be tinted?  

We recommend tinting the primer, particularly for darker paint colours.
