For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The problem with lime-based finishes is that once you put them on they not only keep deteriorating to an unsightly appearance so they need constant renewal, but you cannot successfully paint on top of them because even the slightest trace of lime on the substrate keeps crumbling. I would not consider anything but a good masonry paint which in most cases gives years of service against the lime's months.
