Caparol Sylitol Bio interior paint on lime-cement plaster - experiences?

We would like to paint our new building with this color. On lime-cement plaster.

A good choice - we have painted almost our entire house with it - the lime-cement plaster in the basement and the lime-gypsum plaster in the living rooms, the concrete ceilings and also the fiberglass wallpapers. Covers great, can be wonderfully processed due to the creaminess, hardly drips at all. Highly recommended.

Best regards

Axel

Hello Axel, two coats were recommended to us. The first coat with 10 - 15% water and the second coat with 5%. Did you do it the same way? Best regards Susi

Hello Susi,

we only painted the basement once - undiluted. Also the walls in the study, because there are shelves all around. Otherwise, we also painted twice, but always undiluted.

Wishing you good success

Axel

We do not have this color, but we also used a silicate paint on lime-cement plaster. The first coat we diluted with about 7%, the second we applied undiluted. 10% was a bit too fluid, but that can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Really let it dry between coats, otherwise it won't work! Not like with dispersion paints where you can go over it again after an hour, but wait a day. Do not have too hot/dry air in the room and no drafts during application or the drying time. The paint needs time to cure and bond with the plaster and must dry slowly.

If you want other shades, only mix with the specified tinting colors or with alkali-resistant pigments (e.g., from Kreidezeit), all others will fade.

We also used the Sylitol paint and are completely satisfied. We applied two coats, both undiluted. However, on lime plaster!
