Romabio Lime Slurry, Heavily Textured Slaked-Lime Paint (Richmond White, 0.67 Gal / 2.5 Liter)

We had a very dated, HUGE stone fireplace in a renovation that we were doing. The fireplace actually took up two giant walls between the kitchen and dining room. After doing a lot of research about whitewashing either with the paint wash or this product, I chose this to allow the stone to continue to breathe and to avoid any mold issues associated with paint. This was extremely easy to use and clean up was absolutely a breeze! One thing to note, is that one of the benefits to using this product is that you have a lot of options as far as how heavily you want to apply the color - and then you have an infinite amount of time to remove excess using just water. I feel like that’s a bit of a double edge sword because it makes cleaning a little bit difficult. Wiping down this product removes some color/product so you must be sure to DRY wipe and not use a damp rag to clean. All in all the transformation was pretty amazing for a great price and minimal effort! I literally did this in two days, and under two hours each day. That includes prep AND clean up!

Used this slurry on a brick fireplace and the results were nice. Couple of tips: 1. Make sure you order enough. I used the slurry on a standard size fireplace and ran out of product after 95% completion for first coat. Ended up having to order another 2.5 liters to finish the 1st coat and add a second coat. Generally you will need to do 2 coats. 2. This slurry leaves a chalky finish which you won't like, We ended up buying the Romabio Mineral Spirits to coat the slurry and remove the chalky bits. It's another $45 so be prepared for extra time and cost. 3. Application is messy. Cover any furniture and floors nearby. It does wipe off walls and floors easily. 4. Get a good masonry Brush (you don't need the Romabio one) I used https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YC25NM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Also have a smaller brush to get into masonry lines. 5. If I were doing this again, I would have filled in the masonry lines and then used the slurry. Depends on the look you are going for and filling in masonry is very time consuming. 6. I did the Avario white color but it's more off white / slight cream color. I'd choose a brighter white next time which is my error as I didn't know there were different white variations. The Richmond White maybe a brighter white. 6. I purchased my first bucket here on Amazon and paid $15 for shipping but then found Lowes was selling the same product online with free shipping. Shop around and save some $'s I'm happy with the outcome and the fireplace looks much better than it did before. Happy slurrying.

This product works amazing!!! And a little goes a very long way in my opinion. I used this on a red brick planter and it turned out exactly how I imagined. I “washed off” in some spots to giving it so much character with very little effort. I wish I had more brick accents on my home because I would be using this product on the whole thing!

worked very well on my already painted half split rock fireplace.

Can't go wrong with this product . Beautify your place in a single day !

I lime washed the brick on my house. It turned out great.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The item was cracked open when it arrived and they refused to send a replacement. The product is good but the customer service is not good. Buyer beware

Pic says it all. Slurry all the way. Texture is awesome.
