Who Is Meoded Paint & Plaster?
Meoded Paint & Plaster was founded in 2002 by Shlomi Meoded and formulates and manufactures its products in Los Angeles. The company describes itself as the sole U.S. manufacturer of authentic lime-based, zero-VOC liquid plasters. Its line includes lime-based Venetian and concrete plasters, limewash, microcement, clay plaster, and metallic and specialty finishes, used in homes, restaurants, and hotels.

Why Does Certification Matter for Plaster Finishes?
Lime plaster and limewash behave very differently from regular paint. They’re applied by hand in thin, layered passes, often with a trowel or brush, and the final look depends on technique: how the material is laid on, how it’s burnished, and how layers are timed as they cure. In Colorado’s dry air, that timing matters even more.
Manufacturer training means our crew knows how each Meoded product should be prepped, applied, and finished, which helps you get the depth, movement, and durability these finishes are known for.
We are also able to connect with other applicators all over the country included Breno Garret of Riot Renovations in Orange County: https://riotreno.com/
