I think part of the problem might be how we’re applying these paints. I read somewhere that natural paints might need a different technique or primer. Has anyone tried using a specific type of primer with EarthHue or similar brands to prevent cracking?

That’s interesting about mixing your own paints. I’ve always been a bit hesitant to try it myself, thinking it might be too complicated or messy. But hearing you’ve had no issues with cracking makes me reconsider. Do you have any tips for someone looking to start with DIY natural paints? Also, how do you find the color consistency when mixing your own?

I’ve had a similar experience with EarthHue in my kitchen. The cracking was disappointing, especially since I was so excited about using an eco-friendly product. I wonder if the issue is with the formula or maybe how it reacts to certain wall materials. Have you tried reaching out to EarthHue’s customer service? I’m curious if they have any insights or solutions for this problem.

DIY natural paints sound like a great project! I’ve been looking for ways to reduce waste and be more sustainable in my home improvements. How do you source your materials? I’m particularly interested in where you find natural pigments. Also, do you think the homemade paint would hold up in a high-traffic area like a hallway?
