| A year ago I painted my century-old plaster walls with Aura. I hate the color. Can I successfully use a distemper-like product (like Sydney Harbour) over the Aura without having to use a sealer?
I'd thought of limewash, and figured it was too much work. I want a softer, less regular color, without faux painting. The Aura is a matte surface. |

| At first, I read the post thinking...WTH!?!? Then I looked at their website, and it seems like neat paint! Follow those instructions to the letter... (this stuff seems interesting!) Faron |
Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Distemper's pdf instructions...interesting!

| I read the specs, but I still don't quite understand what will happen if I skip the sealer. |
|
| The lime in the distemper will soften the paint film underneath because of its extremely high pH. |
