Mineral Pigments for Painting – Ready to Use and Built to Last

Mineral pigments offer a natural and reliable solution for painting wood surfaces, especially for outdoor applications such as barns, fences, garden sheds, and more. These ready-to-use powders are designed to create a breathable, matte finish that protects the wood from weather and time, without relying on synthetic ingredients or VOCs.

Why Choose Ready-to-Use Mineral Pigments?

Easy to Use

Each pigment blend comes pre-formulated and finely milled. Just mix it with water, and your paint is ready. No grinding, heating, or guesswork—just pure performance in every scoop.

Long-Lasting Finish

Once applied, these mineral-based paints bond to the wood surface, offering a matte, powdery texture that weathers beautifully and resists peeling or cracking.

Eco-Friendly and Safe

Made with natural components and free of harsh additives, these pigments are safe to use around your home and garden. They contain no synthetic resins, plastic binders, or chemical solvents.

Where to Use Mineral Pigment Paint

These pigments are perfect for:

  • Rough-sawn timber cladding

  • Outdoor fences and gates

  • Wooden cabins and tiny houses

  • Brick or lime plaster walls

They’re ideal for natural surfaces that benefit from a breathable, matte finish.

Application Tips

Surface Preparation

Before painting, ensure the wood is dry, clean, and free from dust or old peeling coatings. A raw, untreated surface gives the best absorption and adhesion.

Mixing Instructions

Simply add the specified amount of water to your pigment powder. Stir well until the mixture reaches a smooth, brushable consistency. Let it rest for a few minutes before application.

Application Process

Apply with a wide brush or spray for even coverage. Two thin coats are recommended, allowing time to dry between each. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or in rain-prone conditions.
