The best time to paint indoors is typically in winter. When the weather is colder outside, you receive reasonable temperatures and humidity levels inside your heated home. You’ll have better paint adhesion when humidity is at average levels or below. To avoid higher-than-average humidity, avoid repainting indoors on winter days when it’s raining or snowing outside.

Limewash paint does not require sealing in the traditional sense. Unlike other paints, limewash forms a breathable, matte finish that evaporates moisture from the surface. However, a sealer or topcoat adds protection or durability. It can help enhance the paint's dirt, moisture, and abrasion resistance. Sealing limewash may alter its appearance, potentially affecting its natural matte finish. Therefore, whether to seal limewash depends on the project's specific requirements and desired aesthetic outcome.
