Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional decorators seeking to transform furniture and interiors with minimal prep. Its key benefit is the ability to adhere to most surfaces without sanding or priming, offering a rich, matte finish often in a single coat. A caveat to consider is that the paint requires a topcoat, such as wax or lacquer, for durability and protection.

For most surfaces, yes. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is designed to adhere without extensive preparation. However, it's always recommended to test on a small area first, especially on very slick or glossy surfaces.
Chalk Paint dries very quickly. Usually, it's touch-dry within 1 to 2 hours, depending on the humidity and temperature of your workspace.
The paint covers approximately 13 square meters per litre. A 120ml pot is suitable for smaller items like accent pieces or upcycling smaller furniture.
Yes, Chalk Paint can be used on fabric. Apply 2-3 thin coats, allowing each to dry completely. It can then be softened by working in Annie Sloan Soft Wax.
No, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is water-based and virtually odour-free, with ultra-low VOCs, making it safe and pleasant to use indoors.
Chalk Paint must be sealed for durability. You can use Annie Sloan Soft Wax for a matte finish, Annie Sloan Hard Wax for extra durability, or Annie Sloan Lacquer for a more robust, water-resistant finish.
Once sealed with wax or lacquer, clean your furniture gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing.
Add a small amount of water to the paint and stir thoroughly. Avoid adding too much water, as this can thin the paint excessively.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply thinner, even coats of paint, allowing adequate drying time between applications. Stir paint well before and during use.
This may indicate insufficient wax application or excess wax. Ensure wax is applied thinly and excess is buffed off. If the finish is still too powdery, an additional thin coat of wax or a coat of lacquer may be needed.
The surface may not have been properly prepared (e.g., still greasy or dusty). Ensure the surface is clean and dry. For very slick or glossy surfaces, a light scuff or primer may be beneficial.
The painted surface likely needs better protection. Apply an additional coat of Annie Sloan Wax or Lacquer, ensuring full coverage and proper drying.
Surface Preparation:
Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease or loose coatings. Remove any flaking or peeling old paint. While sanding and priming are usually not necessary, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Application:
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply one or two coats using a good quality brush. Chalk Paint dries quickly, typically within 1-2 hours, depending on environmental conditions. For a smooth finish, apply thin coats. For textured effects, apply thicker coats or use a textured tool.
Compatibility:
Chalk Paint adheres exceptionally well to wood, metal, brick, concrete, plaster, MDF, laminate, old painted surfaces, and fabric. It can also be used on glass and plastic, though a light sanding or priming might improve adhesion on very slick surfaces.
Sealing and Finishing:
To protect the paint and achieve the desired finish, Chalk Paint must be sealed.
Clean-Up:
Clean brushes, rollers, and any spills immediately after use with soap and warm water. Dried paint can be more challenging to remove.
