Chalk Paint™ is the versatile furniture paint developed by Annie Sloan in 1990. With no need for sanding or priming, you can simply pop open the tin, roll up your sleeves, dip in your brush and apply paint to furniture. Works on wood, metal, laminate, concrete, indoors, outdoors and beyond. And that’s it! You can use the piece of furniture as soon as the wax is touch dry, but please note it will take up to 2 weeks to reach its full hardness (known as the ‘curing period’). During this time, take extra care with the piece. Chalk Paint: 1 litre is enough to cover approximately 13 square metres. 500ml is enough to cover approximately 6.5 square metres.

Dip your brush in, and apply the paint straight onto the furniture. As you paint, move the brush in every direction and all over the piece.Next, apply Chalk Paint™ Wax in the same manner as the paint. Use a brush or lint-free cloth to apply in all directions. Work in sections removing any excess with a lint-free cloth as you go. You want to make sure every bit of paintwork has been waxed. Second coat now and it’s the same as the first coat! So lots of people say ‘Gosh, you make it look so easy and it’s not so easy’ – it really, really is easy. Remember, if you paint it and you go ‘Oh, I don’t like it’… Well, maybe it’s the wrong colour, and it’s to do with the room you’re in. So maybe it needs to be blue or red or green or pink…try another colour, it won’t take long. This won’t take long at all.
