How to apply Concrete-effect paint yourself
Frequently asked questions about concrete-effect paint
On which surfaces can I apply Concrete effect Paint?
Concrete effect Paint adheres best to solid, smooth surfaces such as plaster, cement, or lime-based stucco. You can also apply it on textured finishes like spachtelputz, spray plaster, or glass fleece wallpaper.
Keep in mind that coverage may be slightly higher on uneven surfaces. In principle, Concrete effect Paint can be applied to almost any surface — except those with a plastic or washable coating.
Do I need a primer for Concrete effect Paint?
Yes, a primer is always necessary when applying Concrete effect Paint. It provides a neutral base and ensures that the paint adheres properly to the surface. Instead of a standard primer, use our EcoPrimer, which is specially developed for use with our paint collections, including Concrete effect Paint.
Please note that EcoPrimer is semi-transparent, so it’s important to cover the entire wall evenly, even though the primer won’t appear fully opaque.
What is the difference between Lime paint and Concrete effect paint?
Lime paint and Concrete effect paint share the same base, namely lime. Both types of paint are eco-friendly and create a beautiful concrete-look finish.
Concrete effect paint is mixed to your chosen colour especially for you. The colour is created using wet pigments, based on a machine-generated formula.
Lime paint, on the other hand, is supplied with a sachet of dry pigments. This is also based on a formula, but prepared from our own pigment stock. When using Lime paint, you mix the pigments yourself with a small amount of water.
For recipes with a low amount of pigment, you can use a ratio of 50 ml of water per litre of paint. If the colour requires more pigment, use a ratio of 100 ml of water per litre of paint. With higher pigment loads, it can otherwise be quite difficult to achieve a smooth mixture. You want to avoid any lumps of pigment in your paint.
In short: both types of paint provide a beautiful finish.
Can I renovate quickly with Concrete effect Paint?
Absolutely! Whether you’re refreshing a shop interior or want to give your wall a new look in no time, Concrete effect Paint is exactly what you need. Start by applying a layer of EcoPrimer — at room temperature, it usually dries within a few hours.
Our insider tip: run your hand over the wall — if the EcoPrimer no longer leaves a white residue, you can start applying the Concrete effect Paint straight away.
Want to speed things up even more? Rent a blower from your local hardware store. That way, you can finish all the layers in a single day. So, closed on Sunday and open again on Monday? No problem with Concrete effect Paint from betonlook.nl.
How can I protect my Concrete effect Paint?
You can protect Concrete effect Paint with Paint Protect, a 100% ecological coating made from eggshells. It’s easy to apply — just one thin layer is enough — and it allows you to gently clean the wall with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning products.
Paint Protect subtly deepens the colour and slightly reduces the matte finish, giving the wall a richer, more refined look.

Ecological paint with a breathable character
Our Concrete effect paint consists largely of natural ingredients and costs only €8.24 per m² for two coats. The paint is breathable, allowing your walls to absorb and release moisture.
Ordinary wall paint, however, seals your walls. Think of it as wrapping them in plastic, layer after layer. Not very healthy — and a recipe for moisture problems. With Concrete effect paint, your walls stay fresh and balanced.
Choose smart: order a colour sample first
Every colour is mixed especially for you. Returns are therefore not possible, and the paint has a limited shelf life.
Order a colour sample, fan deck or colour tester first to make the right choice.
