The invention relates to a water-based coating composition for heat insulating building surfaces, the coating composition comprising in the range of from 55 to 90 vol %, preferably of from 60 to 80 vol % hollow microspheres, in the range of from 1 to 30 wt % of a dispersed acrylic binder polymer, in the range of from 0.1 to 3 wt % of a thickener, in the range of from 40 to 80 wt % water; and in the range of from 0.05 to 5 wt % of additives selected from the group consisting of biocides, anti-foaming agents, surfactants, dispersants, and combinations of two or more thereof, wherein the coating composition is substantially free of non-hollow mineral and metallic fillers and is substantially free of hydraulic binders, and wherein the coating composition has a density of less than 500 kg/m3. The invention further relates to a method for applying such coating composition by using a notched trowel for applying a ridged coating layer and a non-woven sheet of glass fiber to smoothen such layer; and to a kit of parts comprising such coating composition, a non-woven sheet of glass fiber, and a notched trowel.
