We recommend two coats of Alkemis Interior Mineral Paint for optimal coverage, appearance and durability.
It's important to note that coverage will differ based on a variety of factors, such as the surface type, texture and permeability, as well as the application methods, equipment and workmanship.
Need help estimating coverage?
Please note: our Interior Mineral Paint is self-priming in most scenarios. Alkemis Interior Mineral Primer is recommended only for new drywall and masonry, or if you are painting over a very dark or uneven surface.

FAQ'S
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. INTRO
Alkemis Paint is easy to apply and requires no special equipment or training. Its advantageous attributes and outstanding performance can be best accomplished using the following process.
USE ON: previously painted latex or acrylic surfaces, drywall, plaster, brick & masonry, concrete, concrete block, hempcrete, stucco, adobe/rammed earth, non-ferrous metal (aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, nickel, tin, titanium and zinc) and low-traffic wood trim & molding. NOT recommended on wood cabinetry/doors, wood paneling, oil-based, alkyd or glossy paints, varnish, floors, ferrous metal (steel and iron), plastic surfaces or MGO board.
PLEASE NOTE: Mineral paints appear darker when wet and will dry lighter.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
2. PREP
For maximum durability, 2 coats should be applied.
To ensure maximum vapor permeability, please use only Alkemis Interior Mineral Primer where specified, followed by Alkemis Interior Mineral Paint.
Surface must be clean, dry and free of dust and contaminants. Prior peeling paint should be removed and sanded smooth. New plaster or masonry should be cured at least 7 days.
Do not use oil-based primers or putties. Stains from water, smoke, ink, pencil, grease, etc. should be sealed with the primer.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
3. MIX
Stir all containers thoroughly, preferably with slow speed drill and paddle mixer.
Mix paint continuously throughout the application process, so pigments do not settle.
For large surfaces, boxing paint (combining paint into a larger container) helps prevent shade variations from bucket-to-bucket.
Please keep lid on unused paint, so it does not dry out.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. PAINTING
Paint can be applied as supplied. Alternatively, up to 10% water may be added to the first and second coat to make it easier to keep a wet edge so you do not get lap marks. Do not apply more than 10% water as it will impact the washability of the surface.
Add:
- 3 oz. for 1 quart
- 1.5 cups for 1 gallon
- 5.5 cups for 3.5 gallon
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
5. APPLICATION
Interior Mineral Paint may be applied by brush, roller or airless spray.
Brush: Use a nylon/polyester brush (2 - 2.5” angled brush recommended for cutting in)
Roller: Use a 3/8” nap synthetic roller (for drywall) or a 1/2” – 3/4” nap synthetic roller (for masonry).
Airless Spray: 2000 psi minimum, .025 in. minimum tip, must remove filters and pump manifold.
Work quickly as paint is fast-drying.
Cut-in with a nylon/polyester brush. Only cut-in what you can paint within an hour. Last pass should be from ceiling to floor to even out roller pattern. Back rolling recommended.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
6. TEXTURE/APPEARANCE
For a uniform matte mineral finish, roll on or spray two coats.
Back roll for most even appearance.
For a velvety / brushed suede texture, apply the second coat with a 5 – 7” wide block brush in an X pattern (similar to limewash).
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
7. FIRST COAT & TOP COAT
First Coat: Apply first coat to cover surface with no runs and allow to dry at least 4 hours.
Topcoat: For best results apply second coat undiluted and allow to dry overnight.
There is no recoat window after the first coat has dried. Mineral paints build quickly so avoid build-ups of paint at cut-in junction or overlapping pattern from roller or spray. Final finish should be as even as possible for best results.
Please note: do not “overwork” the paint during application or touch-up. Mineral paints are approximately 40% higher in volume solids than latex/acrylic paint. Overworking or over-application can lead to a difference in layer build-up and texture, which can be noticeable in angled light.
