Spray the authentic barn paint

Using a sprayer with mineral barn paint saves time and delivers smooth, breathable coverage on wood and other porous surfaces. Here's how to do it right.

Why Choose Powder-Based Barn Paint?

Natural mineral-based barn paints offer several advantages over synthetic alternatives:

• Breathability: Prevents peeling and cracking.

• Matte Finish: Enhances texture without shine.

• Durability: Resists weather naturally.

• Eco-Friendly: Free from synthetic additives.

What Equipment Do You Need?

To spray our paint efficiently, you’ll need:

Recommended Tools

• Airless or low-pressure HVLP sprayer

• Fine mesh paint filter

• Stirring tool or mixing paddle

• Personal protective gear: gloves, mask, goggles

Paint Consistency

Aim for a liquid yogurt texture — thinner than brush paint, but not watery. This ensures proper flow through the nozzle without clogging.

How to Mix the Paint for Spraying

Use Lukewarm Water

Mix the powder with lukewarm water to activate the binders and pigments fully.

Let It Rest

Let the paint rest 20–30 minutes before spraying. This helps eliminate air bubbles.

Filter the Mixture

Strain the paint through a mesh to remove any lumps that could clog your sprayer.

Application Tips for a Perfect Finish

First Coat

Apply one thin coat using steady back-and-forth motion.

Dry Time

Let it dry 4–6 hours depending on humidity.

Second Coat

Apply a second thin coat for full coverage and depth.

Ideal Surfaces for Powder-Based Barn Paint

This paint is ideal for:

• Raw wood (pine, cedar, fir)

• Rough-sawn wood siding

• Porous masonry or brick

• Lime-plastered walls

It is not recommended for sealed, varnished, or plastic-coated surfaces without prior preparation.

Maintenance-Free and Easy to Retouch

The beauty of natural powder-based paint is that it ages gracefully and is easy to refresh:

• No flaking

• No sanding required

• Repaint directly on worn areas

• Natural color blending – no patchy look
