Chalk Paint™ can be used to paint wood, it can be used to paint metal, it can be used to paint melamine, it can be used to paint flooring, it can be used to dye fabric, and it can even be used to paint glass!
How To Use Chalk Paint™
1. PAINT
Chalk Paint can be applied directly to almost any surface without the need for sanding or priming. Just roll up your sleeves and get painting!
2. WAX
Chalk Paint™ requires sealing and protecting with Annie Sloan Wax or Lacquer. Chalk Paint™ Wax emphasises depth of colour and gives a beautiful mellow finish, or can be buffed to a high sheen. Chalk Paint™ Lacquer is a hard-wearing, water-based polyacrylic varnish with built-in UV protection, perfect for high-traffic areas and outdoor furniture.
3. DONE
Stand back and enjoy your newly painted piece of furniture or upcycled creation!
