Project Mexico Lime Wash Paint

The paint we use on each of the homes we build for the community here in Mexico is slaked and manufactured in Rosarito, Baja California from calcium-rich limestone mined in Mexico on the Ranch of Project Mexico & St. Innocent Orphanage. Our paint is free of solvents that have pushed paints to the top of the household environmental hazards list. Our traditional limewash is made from natural lime and natural pigments.
