Like as I use it for touching up the paint when I move house some of it got bang my furniture. Just needed a small tin and this is definitely just right size for touching up paint work
Firstly I lightly sanded the originally mahogany plant stand, cleaned it with white spirit then applied four coats to give me this amazing colour I love it, I hope you do too
Great quality no need to sand down wood first i would recommend buying a paint brush specific to chalk paint as an ordinary one can be a bit harsh.but the finish is grea
This is the first time to use chalk paint and I am very pleased with it. So easy to paint, and I added acrylic paint for the colour, then varnished with acrylic matt varnished. The finished is lovely and it’s very easy to distress the paint. I will definitely use this from now on!
Used it when I rebuilt my Desk PC, applied 2 coats with a Brush on the inside of the desk after preparation with alcohol to remove any grease or dirt etc. it goes on easy but can leave some brush strokes if you’re not careful, touch dry in an hour but ready for a second coat in 4 hours.
I put 2-3 coats on it but touched it up in places as it soaks into the wood if it’s bare and can need more than 2 coats to give an even finish. And it looks great imo.
Easy to apply and brushes can be washed in the sink under warm water afterwards and it comes off of skin easy too.
Have used this several times before in anthracite. Coverage is great although I have found that you really need to give longer than the 4 hours they suggest before applying a second coat.
Would definitely recommend.. although I was expecting a slightly less bright white for antique white but still looks good
This is the best chalk paint. Don’t waste money or time on all these fancy ones, this does the job really well. I’ve used it in many colours and won’t bother with any others now.
This arrived in good condition with no separation of the chalk and liquid.
It dries quickly and needs two to three coats for a good coverage, obviously the more dramatic the colour change the more coats you need.
It doesn’t need the item to be sanded before use, but if you have the time to do so I would recommend it as it does go on better.
Used it to upcycle a wardrobe with a laminate surface and the paint seems to be holding well. Finished off with Rust-oleum furniture wax for longevity.
I am not a particularly skilled or experienced decorator but the job was remarkably easy and the transformation astonishing. After deodorising the musty old drawers (with bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar) and sanding the whole chest, I applied wood dye to the top followed by Danish oil. I then painted the main chest and drawer fronts with one coat of the paint and, when it had dried, applied Rustoleum furniture wax to the whole unit. The chest now looks and feels like a completely new piece of furniture. I must have used only about a quarter of the tin (and even less of the wax), so I plan to use the remainder on another piece of old furniture.
You can see in the picture the before, 1 coat and then 2 coats. All in all it took 2 coats on 4 chairs and 1 table and I used 1 and a half tins of the 750ml option.
The coverage is great and is easy to apply, brush washes with water and the whole process is very easy. The table and chairs were all coated in a light varnish before I started and I didn’t rub it down first, just went straight in no problem.
Really recommend this product, it’s great. It has a powder feel to it after drying which doesn’t bother me. The only negative I could possible add is that any metal placed on the paint leave a metallic mark but apart from that, brilliant.
I must say that it is particularly easy to use with very little, if any, preparations required. Obviously, as with all painting projects, the surface has to be clean and grease free. I wiped over our pine table with some shop white spirit, and that helped to prepare the surface by taking off the beeswax coating on our coffee table. It only took about 2.5 hours of plodding with a mini roller and brush to cover all the upper surfaces, and side panels. I was in no rush as I find it quite therapeutic and this is a job that was started at 8 o’clock at night when the kids were settled. I did the table ‘feet’ and lower surfaces on the second night, after allowing the table to dry and flipping it over. I would say that the paint went on better with a brush, rather than a roller, which left it looking patchy. Also, the brush finish looked better to me in all respects, but this meant paint went on thicker, and coverage was lessened considerably. Other reviewers may well have more experience in this area, or have different results, but that’s just my opinion. The chalk paint DOES chip easily, and you will have to seal it to prevent this happening. I still have to do this and will post a few more pictures when I’ve used the recommended Furniture Finishing Wax to seal the table. There’s about 10% of the tin left and I’ll need to use this to give the tabletop a 3rd coat prior to sealing. Overall, a nice easy solution for a quick (or relaxing) upcycle project. I’ve only given 4* for coverage, but other than that, it’s a big thumbs up, especially for an upcycling novice like me.
Update 17th November 2019: I finally got round to putting a protective layer over the top of the chalk paint. I chose to use a clear Ronseal Varnish instead of the recommended Furniture Finishing Wax.
For me this was to ensure a good hardy child proof seal over the top, and I am overall very happy with the results. There’s been no damage to the table with the day to day hitting or banging of toy dinosaurs or anything else on the table. The final pictures uploaded will hopefully give you an idea of how our table now looks.
I painted the drawer front in winter grey. The paint was a totally different consistency to the white. It was very runny and harder to work with.
I did like using this paint, and if I hadn’t used the AS in the past, I’d have probably rated it 5 stars.
I just found it didn’t go as far as the AS paint did, so it didn’t cover as well, and therefore I used more. One tin of AS did several pieces of furniture last time, but I have used almost all of this tin of rust-oleum on one bedding box. The AS mostly only needed one coat, whereas this needed two, and even three on some parts.
However, I like the end result, the box looks loads better now. It had almost no smell at all so it was ideal for doing inside, and the feel of the finished paint is less chalky than the AS, although this won’t matter once I’ve put a coat of wax on it.
Overall I’d say it’s a good quality paint, and ideal for small projects. If you have a big job on or several pieces then I’d suggest you go for the more expensive Annie Sloan paint as I think it will be better value for money.
