FAQs

Because it is a hand-applied art form, Roman Clay painting takes longer than standard roll-on painting. The process involves prepping the walls, applying a primer, and then hand-troweling at least two thin layers of plaster, with drying and light sanding between coats. For a standard room or a large Roman Clay accent wall, expect the project to take 2 to 4 days depending on the initial condition of your walls.

Absolutely. We primarily use Portola Paints Roman Clay, widely considered the industry standard for high-end interior design in Los Angeles. This eco-friendly plaster is formulated with natural ingredients to create depth and movement that cheaper imitations cannot replicate. We can help you select from their wide range of earthy, organic colors to match your vision.

Yes, once cured, Roman Clay creates a hard, stone-like shell. However, like natural stone, it can be susceptible to scratches or water spots if left unsealed. For high-traffic areas (like hallways or kitchens) or bathrooms, we recommend applying a specialized sealer. This protective layer makes the Roman Clay wall finish wipeable and more resistant to daily wear and tear without altering its beautiful matte appearance.

Roman Clay requires a perfectly smooth substrate to achieve its signature look. If your home has existing textures like “orange peel” or “knockdown,” we cannot apply the finish directly. However, VesaPainters specializes in surface preparation. We will skim coat and sand your walls to a Level 5 smooth finish before beginning the Roman Clay application, ensuring a flawless, stone-like bond.

The main difference lies in texture and application. Limewash is a mineral-based paint applied with a brush, resulting in a matte, chalky finish with soft brushstrokes. Roman Clay, on the other hand, is a plaster finish applied with a putty knife or trowel. It creates a smooth, hard surface that feels velvety to the touch and mimics the look of natural stone or marble. If you prefer a “cloudy” but smooth aesthetic, Roman Clay is the better choice

While DIY limewash is possible, professional application ensures a flawless finish. The process requires specific techniques, like proper surface prep and layered application, to achieve the desired texture and durability. Hiring experts like VesaPainters guarantees stunning results without the mess or hassle.

Costs typically range from $5-8 per square foot, depending on the surface type, preparation needed, and project complexity. For an accurate estimate tailored to your space, we offer free consultations to discuss your needs and budget.

Absolutely! Limewash can be tinted with natural pigments to create a wide range of colors, from soft neutrals to bold hues. We work with you to mix custom shades that match your vision, whether it’s a rustic terracotta or a modern charcoal.

A limewash finish typically lasts 5-10 years indoors and 3-7 years outdoors, depending on environmental factors and maintenance. Touch-ups are simple and blend seamlessly, extending the life of the finish without needing a full repaint.

Yes! Limewash is versatile and works beautifully on both interior and exterior surfaces, such as brick, plaster, stucco, or drywall. It’s especially durable for exteriors in Los Angeles’ climate, resisting cracking and weathering while allowing moisture to escape, preventing damage.

Limewash is a natural, mineral-based paint made from slaked lime and water, often with added pigments. Unlike regular paint, which sits on the surface, limewash penetrates porous materials like brick, plaster, or stucco, creating a breathable, textured finish with a soft, matte look. It’s eco-friendly, mold-resistant, and evolves over time for a unique, aged aesthetic.
