Matte Wall Sealer

$26

Portola’s Matte Wall Sealer is designed specifically for use with our Lime Wash specialty finish that adds a protective coating over the finish.

This product is zero VOC formulated with ingredients that screen out the destructive ultra violet rays and allow the surface to be more wipeable.

Please note: Our Matte Wall Sealer is recommended for light to light medium colors only, as it may leave a milky cast on darker or more heavily pigmented colors. We strongly recommend testing the sealer on a small area off of the wall before full application to ensure the desired result.

Our paints and pigments consist of natural ingredients - there can be slight variation between batches

  • Never apply any adhesive tape over the Matte Wall Sealer once applied as it can pull and remove the protective coat.
