Far too thick to a apply and get a good finish right out of the tin.
Luckily it’s a water based paint so thinning with water is easily done by adding more, otherwise the only thing you’ll be proud of is managing pulling the brush off of your furniture.
Once thinned however, it’s a fantastic paint.
For a small tin a lot goes along way .. the finish is exactly what I wanted matt I did too coats only for bits I missed, I used a 2″ inch roller on larger sections and small good quality brush on smaller .. paint was simply rinsed off, no fumes either .. the colour is unusual as it isn’t black it looks like a extremely dark hint of aubergine Well to my eyes anyway
Bought this paint to update a sideboard and am very happy with the results. I was worried as the paint appeared very green before it dried but it has dried to a nice teal blue.
It’s definitely a teal blue rather than the dark blue it appears in the image.
I used this to repaint a bookcase I was up cycling. It is non-toxic and safe to use in places that aren’t well ventilated. It has a demi-matte finish, and I covered with a finishing wax to protect it.
It’s really nice rich colour – my only complaint is that I found some small chips reasonably quickly even with the wax. It might need a longer time to dry than it says on the tin, or a lot longer than it’s touch dry before you can start moving furniture around again.
The paint went on easily, it took three coats to do this piece but in places I could have done four. Each time it dried well overnight, and you could see the coverage building over the white. I chose to top this with a clear data in varnish afterwards just for durability but I don’t think you would have to. The main point about this paint is the colour, it really is lovely and flare at quality chalk paint for furniture.
Rustoleum have a huge range of colours and this Evening Blue was perfect for my wooden signs. It paints on easily. I’m using on bare wood so I do have to do maybe three coats to get the shade I want but it dries quickly so this is not a problem. Brush washes with water but I find it much harder to clean than acrylic paint, a bit more shrubbing is needed! But definitely worth it for all the colour choices.
This covered a small cupboard as part of a kitchen refurbishment. It went on easily, covered well and produced a first class finish in one coat. The surface was then waxed to seal.
After 4 hours drying time I put a second coat on and then suddenly I had lumps on my roller, which was the paint from the first coat.
Luckily I only did a quarter of a dining table, as I had to remove all the both coats from the table.
And put 1 coat on afterwards.
I let it dry for 24 hours and then put wax on with a brush.
Let the wax dry and then polished it with a cotton cloth till it shined.
I could have saved a lot of time if I would have put 1 coat of chalk paint on, let it dry 24 hours and then spread wax with a brush all over, let it dry and then buff with a cotton cloth until shiny.
Didn’t think the paint would be durable before I put the wax on, which made all the difference and made it look great and durable.
And thats without any sanding before painting.
I would definitely buy it again if I wanted to paint furniture.
Very happy.
If using again, will use a roller as it dried that quick I had brush marks. I’d prepared my surface with sugar soap even though it states you don’t need to sand etc, as long as surface is clean you can apply. I did find that until it was waxes the paint could come off easily if knocked. As doing a distressed look I didn’t mind so much. Covered grey with antique white and then sanded back the key touch areas.
Overall, semi happy with the result (didn’t help I was being rushed to complete it). If using a roller I think the result would be smoother. I also didn’t sand back between coats, I’d recommend to do this.
Only needed 2 coats of the graphite to cover a dark mahogany wood. The paint was a little thick, so I added a little water to thin it out. This also gives a smoother finish and less brush marks.
The first tin had separated a lot and to took awhile to mix it throughly. It arrived just a tin in a box.
The second tin arrived with the lid fastened down in a bag in a box and then in the Amazon packaging. The paint itself was smooth and hardly needed stirring.
I’m assuming the second tin was new stock. But both worked.
I’ve used it on a vase, to give an old mirror a distressed look I’ve painted two doors with it as well and given an old pine unit a new lease of life.
