I really found your post amazing and I'm very interested in knowing whether this "lime paint" will work out for my home. I live in front of the ocean and get allot of sun, breeze and moisture. My home is made of cement block. I'm in the Dominican Republic and am interested in making this myself since imports here are very expen$ive and could end up being more costly than resonably imaginable.

questions :

1. can I use lime paint on my exterior? Wouldn't colors fade?

2. What colors are available? Can I buy a color chart that will tell me what amounts of pigments to use to get certain results?

3. How about maintenance, coverage & surface preparation? (my home is 20 years old and has a couple layers of latex paint)

4. Do you have a suggestion of a source that describes in detail all procedures mentioned with complete details for my application.

{I have done a couple of searches and they don't speak much about color retension, coverage and preparation. Nor mention its use on masonry walls exterior}
