Generally, you can expect your limewashed wall finish to last as long as other quality paint brand-painted walls, provided it’s applied in the recommended manner. The exact durability/shelf life depends on the surface material you are painting as limewash works by absorbing into the material. The bonus is that unlike conventional paints, which are prone to chipping, flaking or blistering–limewash paint evolves and wears naturally and looks better over time because it ages beautifully and develops its own character and patina. 


Refreshing your limewash paint finish is simple—no need to strip previous layers. Just apply new coats to both refresh the colour and strengthen the finish.
