Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Aubusson Blue (120ml) is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and furniture upcyclers seeking a quick, easy way to transform items with minimal preparation. Its primary benefit is adhering to most surfaces without sanding or priming, saving significant time. A potential caveat is that for a durable, professional finish, it requires sealing with wax or lacquer. This water-based paint offers rich, velvety color in a matte finish, is low in VOCs, and cleans up with soap and water.

No, in most cases, sanding and priming are not required. Chalk Paint is designed to adhere to most surfaces with minimal preparation. However, always ensure the surface is clean and dry.
The paint typically dries to the touch within 1 to 2 hours, depending on the temperature and humidity of your environment. It is ready for a second coat or for waxing/lacquering once dry.
The coverage is approximately 13 square meters per litre. A 120ml pot will cover a smaller area, suitable for furniture details or smaller items.
Yes, Chalk Paint can be used on fabric. For upholstery, it’s recommended to dilute the paint slightly with water and apply thinly. It is best sealed with Annie Sloan Soft Wax for a soft finish.
Chalk Paint should be sealed with Annie Sloan Soft Wax or Chalk Paint Lacquer. Apply wax with a lint-free cloth or brush, and wipe away excess. Lacquer can be applied with a brush or roller for a more durable finish.
Once sealed with wax or lacquer, clean the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or excessive moisture, especially if only sealed with wax.
While Chalk Paint adheres well to exterior surfaces like brick or stone, it is not formulated for exterior use without protection. It should be sealed with Annie Sloan Lacquer for durability against the elements.
Add a small amount of water (a few drops at a time) and stir thoroughly. Do not over-thin.
Ensure even application with a good quality brush. Apply thin, even coats. Lightly sand between coats if a very smooth finish is desired (though not required for the chalky effect).
Ensure the paint is fully dry before waxing. Apply wax thinly and wipe off all excess. The drying time for wax can be longer, especially in humid conditions. Ensure good ventilation.
This usually indicates poor surface preparation (e.g., dusty or greasy surface) or lack of adequate sealing with wax or lacquer. Ensure the surface was clean and the paint was properly sealed.
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean and dry. Remove any loose or flaking old paint or lacquer. No sanding or priming is typically required. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: Chalk Paint adheres to most surfaces, including wood, MDF, laminate, metal, plaster, brick, concrete, stone, and fabric. It can also be applied over existing paint and varnish. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Care: For a durable finish, seal Chalk Paint with Annie Sloan Soft Wax or Chalk Paint Lacquer. Apply wax with a lint-free cloth or a wax brush, working it into the paint and wiping away excess before allowing it to dry. Lacquer provides a tougher, more durable finish and can be applied with a brush or roller. Clean brushes and tools with soap and water immediately after use.
