Joe,

The reason I didn’t want to use lime paint as opposed to a lime wash is that I wanted to literally wash over the surface without any proprietary type polymers or modifiers. I need to keep this finish as translucent as possible, with just a hint of color to tone down, lighten and "silken" and the surface mottling created by the marmorino. I can't take the chance of covering anything up to any great degree. As far as I understood, a lime wash is different from a diluted lime paint... please advise. If you think Pitture alla calce will work in this fashion... I'll be happy to give it a go.

Thanks much, Mitchell
