Marmorino Tintoretto® is a matte/low sheen Venetian Plaster suitable for interior and exterior surfaces. Crafted from natural limestone and marble dust, this breathable paste allows for the creation of beautiful depth, color variation and is known for its warm and dramatic appearance. A wide range of textures can be achieved with Tintoretto™ including marble-like, smooth finish, distressed, or natural stone looks.
1KG Quart – covers approximately 8-12 sq ft for 2 coat application.
5KG Gallon – covers approximately 40-60 sq ft for 2 coat application.
20KG Bucket – covers approximately 160-240 sq ft for 2 coat application.
Coverage depends on surface porosity and texture.
Preparation – Surface should be smooth, clean and dust free. It is recommended to apply over a level 4-5 wall.
New Surface – Surface should be smooth, clean and dust free. Prime the substrate with the recommended water based primer as required; such as a PVA primer for new drywall, multi-purpose primer for wood or glossy surfaces, and let it dry fully. Next apply one coat of Meoded Quartz Primer allowing it at least 3-5 hours to dry.
Existing Surface – Any surface with sheen should be sanded, dust free, and then primed with a water based multi-purpose primer letting it dry fully. Next apply one coat of Quartz Primer allowing it at least 3-5 hours to dry. Preparation of flat surfaces require only the application of Quartz Primer.
Exterior Brown Coat – First, the surface should be pressure washed and cleaned. When the surface is fully dry, apply Quartz Primer diluted with up to 25% water. Let it dry for at least 3-5 hours. Over the brown coat, it is recommended to apply three thin coats of Tintoretto® to get a smooth surface.
Application – Use a stainless steel rounded edge trowel or spatula to apply two coats of Tintoretto®. If applying light colors, it is recommended to use Meoded’s Whiteout Trowel to avoid formation of dark trowel marks.
First Coat – First coat of Tintoretto® should be applied thinly and evenly, covering the entire wall. While the plaster is still moist, it is recommended to use a damp sponge in a circular motion to create a more uniform design and to eliminate any trowel marks. Allow at least 8 hours for the base coat to dry.
Second Coat – If required to smooth, lightly sand the first coat with 150-220 grit sandpaper before proceeding. Apply the second coat in the same manner as the first coat. When the material is still moist, smooth the surface repeatedly with a clean trowel until desired finish is achieved. Avoid formation of dark trowel marks.
Sealer/Wax – After a minimum of 48 hours of dry time, it is recommended to protect the finish with either a sealer or wax. It is recommended to use Stain Shield natural look sealer to provide the finish with protection from moisture and dirt, while not adding sheen or changing the color. If a low sheen finish is desired, it is recommended to apply Meoded’s Hydrowax.

Can Venetian plaster have a matte or low-sheen finish?
Yes, Venetian plaster can have a matte or low-sheen finish. While many people think of Venetian plaster as a polished, glossy wall finish, certain lime-based Venetian plasters are designed to create a softer, more understated surface with little to no shine.
Meoded Marmorino Tintoretto is a lime-based matte Venetian plaster designed for smooth, refined walls with subtle movement and natural color variation. Instead of a high-gloss polished look, Tintoretto creates a matte to low-sheen finish with the depth and character of plaster while keeping the surface elegant, soft, and modern.
Is matte Venetian plaster smooth or textured?
Matte Venetian plaster can be smooth or textured depending on the product and application technique. Meoded Marmorino Tintoretto is designed to create smooth, refined matte to low-sheen plaster walls with subtle movement and natural color variation.
Because Tintoretto has more body than a polished Venetian plaster, it can also be applied in a more textured way, including soft skip trowel effects and other hand-applied plaster movements. For heavier texture, stone effects, or deeply dimensional finishes, a heavier Marmorino plaster such as Marmorino Palladino or Marmorino Intonaco would usually be the better choice.
What is the difference between matte Venetian plaster and clay plaster?
Matte Venetian plaster and clay plaster both create soft matte to low-sheen wall finishes with depth and natural movement, but they are made from different materials and apply differently. Matte Venetian plaster, such as Meoded Marmorino Tintoretto, is a natural plaster made with limestone and marble dust, giving it a more durable stone-like finish.
Because matte Venetian plaster contains limestone aggregate, it can be more technical to apply and requires more control with the trowel. Clay plaster, such as Meoded Moroccan Clay, is clay-based and generally easier to apply because there are no aggregates to work around within the plaster. Clay plaster creates a smooth, velvety matte look, while Marmorino Tintoretto offers a more durable stone-like finish with subtle movement and depth.
Can matte Venetian plaster be used instead of regular flat paint?
Yes, matte Venetian plaster can be used instead of regular flat paint when you want a more dimensional, durable, and handcrafted wall finish. Flat paint creates a uniform color on the surface, while matte Venetian plaster adds subtle movement, depth, and natural color variation through the trowel application.
Meoded Marmorino Tintoretto is a lime-based matte Venetian plaster designed for smooth, refined walls with a soft matte to low-sheen appearance. It is a great option for spaces where you want the quiet look of a matte wall, but with more character, mineral depth, and long-lasting durability than standard flat paint.
Does matte Venetian plaster have color variation?
Yes, matte Venetian plaster has natural color variation, but it is usually softer and more subtle than polished Venetian plaster. The variation comes from the trowel movement, the pressure used during application, and the depth of the lime-based material.
Meoded Marmorino Tintoretto creates a smooth matte to low-sheen finish with gentle movement and refined mineral depth. The more the plaster is compressed or burnished, the more color variation and movement can develop in the finish. However, additional burnishing can also increase the sheen, shifting the finish from a true matte look toward a soft low-sheen appearance.
How does matte Venetian plaster create depth without shine?
Matte Venetian plaster creates depth through the natural body of the material, trowel movement, and the way the lime-based plaster is applied in layers. Instead of relying on high shine or reflection, the finish gets its dimension from subtle color variation, mineral depth, and hand-applied movement in the plaster.
With Meoded Marmorino Tintoretto, the limestone and marble dust in the plaster create a smooth matte to low-sheen surface with soft visual movement. Light compression can bring out more variation, while heavier burnishing can add more sheen, shifting the finish toward a low-sheen look.
Does matte Venetian plaster need to be burnished?
Matte Venetian plaster does not need to be heavily burnished the way polished Venetian plaster does. A matte Venetian plaster finish is usually compressed lightly with a trowel to smooth the surface, tighten the finish, and bring out subtle color variation without creating a high-gloss look.
With Meoded Marmorino Tintoretto, the amount of compression affects the final appearance. Light compression will keep the finish more matte and subtle, while additional burnishing can create more movement, color variation, and a soft low-sheen finish.
What wall finish level is best for smooth matte Venetian plaster?
For a smooth matte Venetian plaster finish, a Level 4 to Level 5 wall finish is recommended, with Level 5 providing the most refined result. The smoother and more even the wall is before application, the cleaner and more consistent the final plaster finish will appear.
Meoded Marmorino Tintoretto is applied in thin troweled coats, so the finish will follow the surface underneath it. The wall should be clean, dry, sound, properly primed, and free of heavy texture, cracks, bad patching, or uneven drywall. For smooth matte to low-sheen plaster walls with subtle movement and natural color variation, proper surface preparation is an important part of the finished look.
Can matte Venetian plaster be used outside?
Yes, matte Venetian plaster can be used outside when the surface is properly prepared and the correct plaster system is used. Lime-based matte Venetian plasters, such as Meoded Marmorino Tintoretto, are breathable mineral finishes that can be applied on suitable interior or exterior surfaces.
For exterior applications, the surface should be clean, dry, sound, properly primed, and free of loose paint, dust, cracks, or damaged areas. Marmorino Tintoretto creates a matte to low-sheen plaster finish with natural color variation, subtle movement, and a refined stone-like appearance. For best results, avoid application in direct sun, rain, extreme heat, or cold weather, and follow the recommended Meoded primer and sealer system for the project.
Is matte Venetian plaster more durable than limewash?
Yes, matte Venetian plaster is generally more durable than limewash. Limewash is a thin mineral coating that absorbs into the surface, while matte Venetian plaster is a thicker lime-based plaster applied in layers and compressed with a trowel.
Meoded Marmorino Tintoretto is made from natural limestone and marble dust, creating a stronger, more durable mineral finish with more body than limewash paint. As the lime-based plaster cures, it hardens through carbonation and develops a durable, long-lasting finish with subtle movement, depth, and a matte to low-sheen appearance.
