Autentico Paint Ireland & Scotland

The official Autentico Paint N. I & Ulster Facebook page of the renowned and original real chalk paint: Autentico Vintage chalk paint.

Dating back to the 14th century in Italy, natural ingredients like chalk, lime, clay, mud and even dirt have been used to create paint.

The Italians painted with these ingredients and a method called dry secco. Secco colours dry lighter than the colour upon application producing a distinctive chalky quality of a distempered wall.
Dry (secco) fresco paintings dating back thousands of years are still in remarkable condition. This is a paint which will keep its beautiful appearance for years to come.
Truly a paint that has survived the tests of time.
