SUZUKA Strato Texture Paint SVL-419, Limewash Effect, Matte Wall - Lime Plaster, Venetian Interior Paint, Primer and Wax Top Coat included, Blush Cream

Three layer process and worth the time and money! My walls look great.

I was really hoping this paint would be a solid choice, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The finished product looks great, but the process was painful. I had to buy two sets of the kit times even though I only needed the textured coat the second order, but you cannot buy each item individually. Overall, the finished product looks great, but application was difficult and time consuming and just not enough product.

Amazing result!

Terrible!!! The condition of the product when I opened the package was terrible... I can't believe how this product was packaged and shipped.

The items are very good, but they don't have enough in one order.

First time used texture paint

No clear instructions

The wall I used this was originally hot pink. The directions stated I didn’t need primer but I was apprehensive because of the color I had to work with (hot pink). So I only did one coat of primer but wished I did two as the primer that came with this kit is colored but it still showed some pink. So you decide if you need primer with the walls you’re working with. The primer is very thick and definitely needed to be thinned with water and with doing so it made the primer last two coats. FYI it is very messy with the roller so make sure you cover your floors. The next step was sanding. I sanded a bit but in my opinion the 600 grit didn’t do much so I quit since the texture would put more thickness on the walls. Basically hoping the texture would mask the lack of sanding. The texture is also colored and fairly easy to use. I just made sure I didn’t use a regular motion. More like an X and I like how it turned out. I only had enough for two coats of the texture. I used a mud pan and a 6” trowel which I actually liked how easy this was. The process can get a little hard on the arms and I did spill a few spots but I feel both weren’t too bad. After here I sanded. Not a whole lot just enough to get any bumps or clumps out. Then the last thing is the top coat. Dry sponge all over. Though it is a tedious process I enjoy the look. It can be done in a day and the videos out there are very helpful. Anyone can do this. I do wish the kit came with more primer paint and/or if it was already thinned that would be great. The hardest part for me was opening the 2 of the 3 cans (plastic). I think they were supposed to have a perforated pull tab but it didn’t work for me so I had to pop the tops and one time I got paint on the floor because of how it opened. For all of the things you get, this is decently priced. I like that the texture gives the wall depth. The vanilla cream color is very pretty and goes along with the boho theme. There is some smell that I did notice (compared to regular paint). There isn’t directions in the box (each can states step1, step2, step3) but if you look there are videos that are very helpful so don’t be scared to try it. The top coat is a clear wax so fingers crossed it can be washed/wipped clean. I used a clean/dry sponge and it went on easily just used a lot of energy in those circular motions. Whew. I would be super excited if I got another chance to use any of the other Strato products. Great product and definitely not for whose who can’t finish projects but LOVE the ending look!! FYI this is my first time using ANY lime wash texture paint. 1. primer paint 2. Texture 3. Clear wax/finished
