Mineral undercoat and blocking primer for use before application of limewash topcoats. Suitable for historic restoration, natural & eco-sustainable construction.
Form: Powder
Use: Interior Only
Use as undercoat to prime new drywall, in order to regulate surface porosity and promote adhesion of subsequent paint layers.
Surfaces:
Use on new, unprimed drywall. Can also be used on plaster, previously painted drywall, lime-based and clay-based substrates, over vegetal resin-based paints and coatings, masonry surfaces (mortar, cement, concrete, brick) and low-absorbency substrates (compact and synthetic plasters, renders & coatings).
Finish: Smooth Mineral Appearance
Level of difficulty: Easy
Features:
Evens out absorption, enhances adhesion, and prevents rapid drying for a flawless finish.
Tools: Synthetic brush or roller. Cleaning with soap and water.
Coverage:
Approximately 320 ft²/kg (30m²/kg). 1 coat of PRIMA PLUS is required. Add a second coat if the substrate is very absorbent.
Made In France.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
Tintural paints and coatings are between 95% and 100% natural, and have low to no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
Multi Paint & Primer can be used in interior and exterior applications.
-First, estimate the surface area, taking into account obstructions, decorative features, and fixtures.
-if the ceiling is high, use scaffolding or another work surface to ensure continuous application without stopping midway, which can cause striping.
-for the third coat of paint, use a slightly more diluted (but not too diluted) mixture to give a wider opening.
-For the third coat of paint, use a slightly more diluted (but not too diluted) mixture to maintain workability and achieve consistent coverage across the surface.
-use a stainless steel float (stucco float) with a flexible or semi-rigid blade. No sponges, no plastic smoothers.
-Burnish the surface before the paint dries completely — timing varies with substrate and temperature (around 15–20 minutes). The aim is to smooth and compress the coating without damaging it.
-For large wall surfaces, consider working with a partner, with one painting and the other burnishing with the trowel as the paint begins to dry.
-For a concrete effect, all you need to know is that it's the way you cover the wall during the first two coats that determines the result. As a general rule, the smaller the movements, the more "crushed" the effect.
-Angle the trowel against the wall at a shallow 15°–20° to exert even pressure, taking care not to tear off layers of paint.
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.
We recommend tinting the primer, particularly for darker paint colours.
