My understanding is that they use to make paint much like you do with milk and lime. Then they added iron oxide (rust) as a coloring agent.
I confess that I did not dare to use this paint when I painted some rooms in my house last year. The cost of the paint is inversely proportional to the hours of work to get a good result.
I think that recipe is useful when the aesthetic don't matter.

Hola, mis disculpas, es importante fermentar la cal por unos 45 días, el polvo de cal reacciona con el agua y crea una sustancia pastosa, se usa mas que nada para pintar el tronco de los arboles. Esa sustancia lechosa es a la que me refiero, mi pregunta es, a esa sustancia se puede mesclar con leche y cemento para pintar laminas de zinc.
Gracias
Hi, my apologies for the misunderstanding, Is important to ferment lime for at least 45 days with water, this reaction creates a creamy paste, that can be used to paint, mostly tree. My question is, can this substance be added to milk and cement to paint zinc metal sheets. (old tin roofing )
Thank you"
Hello tecnicus. Someone commented that lime can also be used to replace cement. In that case I suppose there is no problem in adding a color of those that come in plastic bottles.
Hello rimar2000, first thank you for all of the instructables you have posted. Remember, when it comes to lime, is important you ferment it first, so you can use it as paint. That is what is done in Costa Rica to paint trees.
Gracias/Thank you

Hey Peter, thanks for your comment. When you say "it is important you ferment it first" I assume you mean to milk. I did the test with lime and fresh milk, and milk appears that react or otherwise combine with lime powder, because when mixing occurs a harsh smell, neither pleasant nor unpleasant, that is held for months while the paint is stored in the container. I also perceived that with the passing of the days the liquid, fluid first, begins to coagulate, I guess maybe it's the milk's casein. Anyway, when I had to paint my house a few months ago, I did not dare to use that picture because I preferred to play it safe, a medium quality latex because it costs a lot more work than painting.
Gracias

Hi Peter. I have no idea if this paint can be used to paint zinc sheets. We should do the test, which takes a few months, because at first all the paintings they hold well on the zinc, but then take off alone. Regarding painting the trunks of trees, here in Argentina was banned in many places because someone said that it hurts them. In fact, years ago are not seen painted trunks.
Please tell me the English errors, I will correct them. Here or by "private message". I use Google Translator, it is very good but one can not claim all of an automatic translator.
Yes, I thought of repeating the test with white cement+pigment, but the problem is that for the moment I have nothing to paint. I want not to paint or repaint part of my house for the sole purpose of testing the paint. Moreover, the white cement is much more expensive than gray
(Gracias, muchas gracias.
Por favor, dime los errores de inglés, voy a corregirlos. Aquí o por "mensaje privado". Uso Google Translator, es muy bueno, pero uno no puede pedirle todo a un traductor automático.
Sí, pensé en repetir la prueba con cemento blanco+pigmento, pero el problema es que por el momento no tengo nada que pintar. Yo no quiero pintar o repintar parte de mi casa con el único propósito de las pruebas de la pintura. Por otra parte, el cemento blanco es mucho más caro que el gris)
Wow great 'ible! If a young Maker needs paint and doesn't want to have to buy commercial paint that is really expensive? Bingo! I am from U.S. but I wanted to try this Google translator thing. It really does work! I actually don't speak anything other than English though. Such a pity...
With regard to paint, I have tested it with cement but not with lime, that I will do in a few days because I had to make a small amendment to my house.
