What technique and color lime wash was used to get this look?

12 years ago

Was this natural, white lime wash? And, would you please tell me how to get this look with the brick showing through? Thanks!

Thank you so much for your question, please forgive our tardiness. This effect is created by diluting ROMA's bioCalce Classico 100% with water then applying it with a large masonry brush and washing it off as it dries. The wash-off is achieved using a normal spray nozzle from any hardware store....The water pressure literally knocks off the lime creating an antique effect that would typically occur over 50-100 years. Any skilled painter can achieve this look and effect. Please contact us at Romabio.com if you have further questions. The color used was OC-6.
