From Vision to Reality
We follow a meticulous, artisanal 6-step process to ensure a flawless, velvety plaster finish for your Los Angeles home:
Step 1
We start by discussing your vision. Whether you need help choosing a specific Portola Paints Roman Clay color or deciding between Roman Clay vs Limewash, our experts guide you to the perfect finish that complements your interior lighting and decor.
Step 2
We arrange the project to fit your schedule. Since plaster work involves sanding, we take extra care to mask off floors, furniture, and fixtures, ensuring your home remains clean and protected throughout the Roman Clay application process.
Step 3
Roman Clay walls require a perfectly smooth canvas (Level 5 finish). If you have existing orange peel or knockdown texture, we perform a full skim coat and sanding. This critical step ensures that applying Roman Clay paint on textured walls results in a flat, stone-like surface without imperfections.
Step 4
We apply a high-quality, special primer designed to bond with decorative plasters. This creates a uniform substrate that prevents "flashing" (uneven sheen) and ensures the Roman Clay wall finish adheres durably to the drywall.
Step 5
This is where true craftsmanship shines. Our artisans apply the Roman Clay in multiple thin layers using a putty knife or trowel. We manipulate the material by hand to create the signature "cloudy" movement, depth, and organic texture that defines a premium Roman Clay finish.
Step 6
Unlike some paints, Roman Clay can be sealed for extra durability. We apply a protective topcoat (if requested) to guard against scuffs. Finally, we conduct a walkthrough to ensure your new Roman Clay accent wall meets our strict quality standards before cleanup.

Testimonials
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
A fresh coat of paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to boost a property’s appeal — especially when preparing a home for rent in Los Angeles. Rental staging is all about making a space feel move-in ready and attractive to a wide range of tenants. Neutral, clean wall colors help potential renters envision themselves living in the space, while a well-maintained finish signals that the property is cared for and up to date.
At VesaPainters , we specialize in interior painting services tailored for real estate professionals, landlords, and homeowners looking to stage their properties for fast, successful rentals across LA — from Studio City and Sherman Oaks to Encino and beyond.
