ᐅ Experience with Natural Hydraulic Lime Paint for Interior Walls

Hello,
we had the interior of the house plastered with a lime-based plaster.
Only now have we realized that using a dispersion paint will compromise the vapor permeability of this interior plaster.
I have read a lot of positive things about lime paint or hydraulic lime paint. Hydraulic lime can also be purchased fairly cheaply. However, the application process seems to be more challenging, although I haven’t learned all the details yet.
Has anyone here worked with lime paint before?
Is it possible to apply it with a roller, or do you always have to use those large brushes?
Is it necessary to wear a mask?
We were actually planning to have it painted professionally and wanted to hire someone quite affordably. But for lime paint, I suppose it’s better to hire someone experienced, right?
Best regards

fach1werk7 Nov 2016 21:07We also use hydraulic lime, but in the form of ready-to-use paint supplied in a bucket by Kreidezeit. The list of ingredients is pleasantly short. It is originally intended for application with a brush. For the first coat, we applied it with a brush and then reworked the second coat using a short-pile roller. That works quite well. The reason was that the brush texture of the first coat simply did not look uniform. It was especially bad in low-angle light, and I am quite experienced with other paints and glazes. I would say limewash definitely requires a brush, but lime paint is not necessarily bound to it. Protective goggles and gloves are essential. The result is attractive with good properties. It is also not more expensive than inferior products.
