Lime Wash Base Coat is the required primer beneath Meoded Lime Wash — apply 2 coats before moving on to the Lime Wash topcoat.
- New drywall: Prime first with PVA Primer.
- New wood or glossy surfaces: Prime first with a multi-purpose primer such as Insl-X Stix Bonding Primer.
- Existing surfaces with sheen: Sand until dust-free, then prime with a multi-purpose primer such as Insl-X Stix Bonding Primer.
- Existing flat surfaces: No primer needed — apply Lime Wash Base Coat directly.
- Over oil-based paint: Use a water-based universal primer first, such as Insl-X Aqua Lock Plus.
- Going dark: Tint the base coat close to the final Lime Wash colour for best coverage.
