Romabio | Velatura Mineralwash Custom Colours

• Can Velatura Mineralwash be made in custom colours?
  Yes. This listing is specifically for made-to-order custom tinted colours.
• Will the finished colour match a conventional paint chip exactly?
  Not necessarily. The mineral base, wall colour, dilution, texture, lighting, and application technique can affect the final appearance.
• Can Velatura be tinted to colours from different paint brands?
  Many colours from popular paint brands can be produced, although some formulas may require adjustment because Velatura uses a mineral base.
• Is Velatura the same as limewash?
  No. Velatura is an interior potassium silicate mineral paint designed for controlled cloud-like movement. Classico Limewash is an authentic slaked-lime coating intended primarily for absorbent masonry.
• Can Velatura be used on drywall?

• Can I apply Velatura with a roller?

• How many coats are required?
  Two coats are used. The first creates the solid base, and the diluted second coat creates the cloud-like effect.
• What is the difference between 50% and 80% dilution?
  A 50% dilution creates stronger colour movement. An 80% dilution creates a softer and more blended appearance.
• Can multiple people apply Velatura to the same wall?
  Yes, provided everyone uses the same dilution, brush, pressure, and application movement.

  No. Velatura Mineralwash is intended for interior walls only.
