Sample Pots offer an ideal solution for colour testing on interior and exterior surfaces and can be applied directly onto clean walls or portable board surfaces.

Tips + Tricks
  • Instead of painting neat squares for samples, it’s advisable to create a feathered-out testing area. This technique helps conceal the sample area when repainting and ensures a better sample.
  • Alternatively, paint onto a board that you can carry around the space. This is a good idea if you are painting a naturally breathable wall like render, lime plaster or unpainted brick. This method enables you to view the sample colour in different lighting conditions, while also avoiding show-through of sample areas on your final finish.
  • For the best result over previously painted, primed internal walls– apply your samples over one layer of Prep Coat. You can paint over these sample swatches later on with a full coat of Prep Coat when you prepare to paint the wall with your final choice of limewash colour.
  • Use a BAUWERK natural bristle brush as their bristles are designed to hold and spread the paint correctly.
