Frequently asked questions
How much paint do I need?
The consumption is given in the Technical Data (g of powder per m² per coat). Two coats are generally needed for full opacity – so plan for twice the quantity.
Does the substrate need to be primed?
Pre-coat plasters, fillers, drywall boards, concrete and old emulsion paints with KREIDEZEIT Vega Primer or Casein Primer. Paper-based non-woven and paper wallpapers are not primed.
Can I tint the paint myself?
Yes, with KREIDEZEIT earth and mineral pigments. Stir the pigments into the mixing water until free of lumps, or add them as a slurry to the fully swollen paint. The maximum permissible quantity is given in the technical data.
Is the paint suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
For damp areas and areas exposed to splash water, we recommend KREIDEZEIT Slaked Lime Paint. This paint is intended for living rooms and bedrooms under normal use, hallways and ceilings.
How long does the mixed paint keep?
Use mixed paint on the same day (distemper 2–3 days). Small leftover quantities can be frozen for later touch-ups. Do not use paint that smells putrid.
