Rust-Oleum Chalky Furniture Paint Chalk White 750ml

A great chalk paint for furniture projects — easy to work with and gives gorgeous results. My dresser looks brand new. I used this Rust-Oleum chalk paint to upcycle an old pine dresser, and I’m so pleased with the results. It went on smoothly and gave great coverage, although it did need two coats to fully cover the wood grain — which I expected with lighter colours.The finish is a soft, classic matte white that looks clean and elegant. It really transformed the piece and gave it a lovely, fresh look. The paint dries quickly too, which made the whole process quick.

Great product and goes a lot further than you think when you see the tin size

Good product with a nice finish but don’t count one one coat as definitely needs a second

This was a wee test project to see how well this paint when on before upcycling 2 x pine wardrobes and 2 x chest of drawers.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.

Great paint keeps well

I’ve been using this chalk paint a lot, both for my small business projects and around the house. It has amazing coverage, goes on smoothly, and gives a beautiful matte finish. It sticks well to different surfaces with minimal prep. Definitely a staple in my toolkit now

Excellent

Love the rustic finish, but super hard to paint with unfortunately. The first coat went on easily and a little went a long way. The second coat however, was like moving through thick mud. I was using a brush and my hand was really sore and I had to use way more paint than I thought I would need. Probably won't use chalk paint again in a hurry.
