I used Bioshield clay paint in 2 bedrooms. The colors are very natural looking. No special equipment is required. I applied it with a roller and found one coat was adequate on an already painted wall. I did need two coats on new drywall. CAUTION for chemically sensitive people – the paint had no odor when applying, but it did give me problems for over a month after. It does contain a minute amount of chemical preservative, but I think it may have been the alcohol. It was applied in wintertime, so I could not open a window. A fan helped a bit.
Thanks for the report. I haven’t used this paint but I think you would have had a different experience with adequate ventilation.
