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: Walls and ceilings of new or previously painted drywall, plaster, brick, masonry, concrete, stucco or stone. Not recommended on glossy paints or varnish, floors, wood or plastic surfaces.
PLEASE NOTE: Mineral paints appear darker when wet and will dry lighter.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
2. PREP
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. New drywall or masonry should be primed with Alkemis Mineral Primer.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
3. MIX
Stir all containers thoroughly, preferably with slow speed drill and paddle mixer. If you don't have a paddle mixer, stir vigorously with wooden stir stick.
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
Work quickly as paint is fast-drying.
Cut-in with a nylon/polyester brush. Only cut-in what you can paint within an hour. Use a 3/8”—1/2” nap synthetic roller and roll into damp cut-in paint.
Last pass should be from ceiling to floor to even out roller pattern.
May be applied by airless spray, 3000 PSI minimum with 0.25—0.29” tip. Remove manifold and spray gun filters.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
6. TEXTURE/APPEARANCE
For a consistent matte mineral finish, roll on or spray two coats.
Back roll for most even appearance.
For a velvety texture, apply the second coat with a block brush in an X pattern.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
7. FIRST COAT & TOP COAT
Consistently apply first coat to cover surface with no runs. Allow to dry 2—4 hours.
For best results apply second coat and allow to dry overnight.
