Clear Skies Matte Paint
A boutique grade Healthy Sustainable Paint! Clear Skies Matte is made with fresh Georgia Clay and Non Toxic Pure Acrylic Resin. It is tintable to any color, washable and very low odor. The sheen is very similar to Benjamin Moore's eggshell sheen. It is a matte finish that hides well and touches up nicely but it also has some washability built in so that it lasts longer than a regular flat finish. With a super low odor, and no toxins, many people find they can sleep in the room within a day of painting.
Use Clear Skies Matte in Kitchens, Baths, Bedrooms, Baby Rooms, Nurseries, Kids Rooms, Hospice areas, Living Rooms and for Siding and Trim outside.
Prime: For the ultimate non toxic paint experience prime the wall first with Lime Prime. This mildew proof primer will give Clear Skies better hiding power and make the surface inhospitable to mold and mildew stains and such.

Description
Clear Skies is no ordinary Low Voc paint. It is a Healthy Sustainable Paint that leaves the home smelling fresh and clean. Not only is it easy to use it's also very durable and since it is self priming you save time and money. The secret is in our pure ingredients. You will have a rich, premium look without the suspicious chemicals found in many low and zero voc paints.
Sheen: Clear Skies Matte has a beautiful eggshell finish. It's great how nicely it touches up without showing much lap marks, yet it is still scrubbable and easy to clean.
What's the difference? Clear Skies is locally made. It is locally sourced. This means the ecological footprint is very light. We use recycled content as much as possible and the additives that usually go unmentioned are fully addressed in Clear Skies. No vinyl. No Acrylic Copolymer. Tougher than most exterior paints yet smells great and stands up to abuse, even in kids rooms.
Additives: With the support of our local community, Earthpaint has spent many years finding ways to make safer additive technology work. This has not been an easy task but it we feel it is worth it. We use plant based coalescents, biocides based on skin cream technology, a defoamer that adds no VOC or Silicone to the paint. To really make a difference every single non toxic, high purity ingredient must be safe enough for us to use near our own children!
Getting Started
Start With Priming: Use Lime Prime to prime walls and wood being coated with Clear Skies Matte. Lime Prime is not a stain blocker so if you have stains you may need to stain block them and then prime with Lime Prime. If you prime darker colors they cover in less coats. If you select a dark color it's best to plan to prime it Grey first. Light colors are not an issue typically, most cover in one or two coats. However bright yellows and bright oranges, are notorious for needing 2-3 coats. Mike Benito is your color expert. He has the software to match your colors and experience to get you the right primer if needed.
Uses: Kids Rooms, Living Rooms, Bath Rooms, Kitchens, Family Rooms, Nurseries, Play Rooms, etc. Interior and Exterior Walls, Ceilings, Trim. Excellent for Cement Fiber Siding or exterior house painting. Self Priming on raw wood, cement fiber and drywall. Adheres excellent to weathered pressure treated wood. Earthpaint was started by painters. We were sick (literally) of being poisoned by allegedly safe paints. So we built our own company. We would love to help you get a great job done safely!
How Much to buy? Estimate 400 sft / gl to repaint.
How Many Coats? Raw, absorbent surfaces will soak in more product, meaning you need to figure on using more paint for these surfaces. This includes new drywall and especially masonry or concrete block. Figure on 1 coat for repainting similar colors. 2-3 coats for new walls. Use primer and 2-3 coats for going over darker colors.
