Rust-Oleum Matte Clear Chalked All-in-One Ultra Matte Spray Paint | One Coat Coverage | No Primer, Sanding, Or Topcoat Needed | Easy Spray Application | Made in USA | 12 OZ

This is one of my favorite paints to work with. The coverage is fantastic, it’s easy to apply, and the color looks even better once sealed with a topcoat. I use it over and over on my refinishing projects because it holds up well, adheres beautifully, and the price point really helps my bottom line.

Firstly, I’ve been experimenting quite a bit with chalk finish paint to refresh some outdoor furniture before hosting a baby shower. I have found Rustoleum’s Chalked line of spray paint to have the best quality, appearance, and overall texture compared to most other paints. The fact that it’s offered in a spray paint form also makes it less messy and fairly more hassle-free than most all of the other options available also. I used the Blush Pink shade to refinish this old little side table I use for plants. The table was originally finished in a dark red cherry wood tone but appears to be made from composite materials as it’s very lightweight and the wood finish could be sanded off easily. I cleaned the table off and then very lightly sanded the shiny sheen off of it where I could, without being too worried about getting it all off and without removing the cherry wood tones. I then sprayed it with three light coats of the paint. If there where any drips or accidentally thick spots of the paint, I hit them with a foam mini paint roller immediately after spraying to incorporate them better. Drying time was very quick- it only took 10-15 mins for each light coat to be dry to the touch, but I still gave each coat about an hour total outside in 77 degree sunshine to dry (probably unnecessary though). I’m ordering the chalked top matte coat to finish off the piece and will probably hit it it with a sealer too before putting it back outside. However, at this point, I’m very happy with the results! I wanted a subtle shade of pink but was mostly shooting for any kind of boho-looking light-colored chalk finish so I was flexible. This paint goes on very stark white-looking, but then seems to settle into a light pink shade after drying out fully. It has great coverage, though I did use one whole can on this one table. Still worth the $10 for the end result. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this product!

Works well, project is beautiful! Thank you

I love this paint! The regular liquid paint is great but this is bees knees! No, for real! Ok so I painted my end tables with the liquid version of the rustoleum chalked pain and the spray paint in “white”. Too white. Waaaaayyy too white. So I ordered the “Chiffon cream” and it’s perfect! It’s the perfect farmhouse white. Oh also, I did not sand or prep the tables at all other than using an all purpose cleaner and a rag to wipe them down before initially painting them. They were a medium tone wood with some sort of shiny sealer (I believe they were from the 1960’s, they were my grandmas). It’s a matte finish so keep in mind you’ll see wherever you spray too close bc those spots will be shinier. Also drip marks are a given. But that’s why this is so awesome, you just take your sanding block and rub it off when it’s dry. It took about a can per table (shown in pic). I recommend buying an extra can in case you need it. Our local hardware store (H—- D——) doesn’t carry this color so be prepared! 2 coats might be enough but I did 3 to be sure I got the coverage I wanted. Chiffon cream on left and the white on the right in the picture. Every time I purchase something online, I always check the reviews. I count on others to help me choose the best option.

I almost went with the cheaper Re-tique brand, especially bc I was buying two cans. I had initially wanted to fully paint some light wood furniture we were given for a recent move, white. Bc I didn't want to fully cheap out and end up with nasty paint that wore down quickly, I went w this Rust-o-leum brand. Upon getting the furniture, It looks so good the color is is, that I may not paint it anymore. I still WANT to, but it looks so decent that I know it won't be worth the effort involved just to make it white, even if I still want to. So what to do now with two cans of chalk paint. I opened one can and went around the new place and touched up trim and molding and window ledges. It was perfect. So easy to use and dries so fast. I also ended purchasing two kitchen stool chairs from LetGo and they were a really bold cherry wood. The color did not go with anything in the apartment at all. Cue chalk paint. They were such a deep serious color that I needed to do two coats. One coat was "ok" but it was very obvious they were painted and strike marks were everywhere. I could have left them if that was the look was going for, but it really wasn't. So I had to bite the bullet and do another coat on both. They came out great. But I still have only used half of one can. I don't know what the hell I will use another can for. I may return it. Overall, this was a great chalk paint option and while I didn't use it for my initial intention, it still functioned perfectly for spur of the moment stuff in its place. I can't speak to its durability how long it lasts just yet, but I did put a layer of wood sealer on the chairs. I was going to do wax, but figured no one would want to be sitting on sticky wax. This was a great product!

Really good paint . Once I got the 2nd coat on it look really good.

I refinished an old 90's oak side table in my living room to give it a new look with this chalk paint. I chose chalk paint because it is notoriously easy to work with, covers well, and is durable. The serene blue color was just beautiful, and a slightly unusual color for a wood piece. Yet it matched my living room decor perfectly. The paint is thick, thicker than latex or other paints you might be more familiar with. However, it goes on well and covers completely in just a coat or two. Best of all, there's no need for sanding first! I admit, it did scuff sand a little bit first, just to assure good adhesion, but this wasn't necessary according to the package directions. Once cured, the paint is very durable with a completely matte finish that easy to sand off if you want a more distressed look to your piece. For extra durability, you might consider covering with a polycrylic or wax. I used less than half of my quart-sized can for this table. Since chalk paint is so easy to work with, I am thinking about what else I can cover with my leftover paint!

I bought this in white to brighten up my dining room table set. I'm no stranger to chalk painting furniture, but this is the first time using Rustoleum. My typical brands have skyrocketed in price, but I have to say, as the cheapest option available at the time of purchase ($.60/oz), I am not disappointed! 2-3 coats was necessary for complete coverage on dark wood using a paint prush, as I anticipated despite "one coat coverage" advertisement (we all know that's never true on dramatic color changes). I lightly sanded the varnish prior to painting as a precaution, but I probably could have skipped that step. The paint adhered nicely and dried with minimal paint strokes. Virtually orderless as far as paint goes, and super easy to work with. The color is exactly what I expected: a lovely fresh clean white, easy to love! Unfortunately, it does not match my "vintage white" furniture in the room as well as I'd like, so I'll be picking up a different brand to do a final coat (though I'm sure house guests would never notice). Then I will apply some wax to protect it. All in all, yes, I fully recommend this paint if you can find it in the color you want! I've included the before and after of my table.
