How to paint with Kalklitir?

Materials

• Kalklitir powder (1 kg covers about 6–10 m² with two coats)
• Water (1.7 liters per 1 kg of powder)
• Mixing container (3–5 liters, with a tight lid)
• Mixing tool (whisk, electric mixer, or drill whisk)
• Natural bristle paintbrush (at least 10 cm wide)
• Painters tape (to protect moldings and outlets)
• Protective plastic or cardboard (to protect the floor)
• Dust mask (during mixing)

Paint Preparation

• Pour 1.7 liters of water into the mixing container.
• Gradually add Kalklitir powder to the water while stirring.
• Let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes and stir again.
• The paint is ready to use and will keep in the refrigerator for 1–2 days.

   

Preparing the Surface

• Clean the surface to be painted from dust and grease.
• Smooth out any uneven areas and holes.
• Prime with a water-based primer if necessary, especially if the surface is very porous or previously painted with glossy paint.
  
  

Painting Technique

• Lightly moisten the wall with water before painting.
• Apply the paint with a brush using your preferred technique:
• X-technique: Cross strokes create a soft, lively surface.
• Vertical strokes: Provide a more peaceful appearance.
• Avoid breaks in the middle of the wall, as the paint dries quickly. Take breaks at corners or natural boundaries.
• Let dry for about 1.5 hours before applying a second coat.
  
  

Final Result

• The paint dries quickly and the shade lightens as it dries.
• The final finish is matte and lively.
• If desired, you can experiment with different shades by ordering color samples before the actual painting.

Good luck with your painting!
