FAQs

What surfaces can I use Johnstone's Chalky Furniture Paint on?

You can use it on wood, metal, ceramic, and some plastics.

Do I need to prime before painting?

Priming is recommended, especially for glossy surfaces or if the surface has been previously painted. It helps with adhesion and coverage.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

Generally, two coats are recommended for good coverage and colour depth.

How long does the paint take to dry?

It dries quickly. Refer to the product label for specific drying times, usually within a few hours.

How do I clean my paintbrushes and rollers?

Clean your brushes and rollers with water and soap immediately after use.

Can I use a sealant over the paint?

Yes, a clear water-based sealant can be applied to protect the paint and increase its durability.

Is the paint suitable for outdoor use?

While the paint can be used on outdoor furniture, ensure the piece is protected from the elements. Consider using a suitable outdoor sealant.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand the surface and apply a suitable primer if necessary.

Paint is streaky.

Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Avoid over-brushing. Use a good quality brush or roller.

Paint is chipping.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, and apply a sealant for high-use areas.

Colour is not as expected.

Apply multiple coats to achieve the desired colour. Allow the paint to dry completely to see the true colour. The underlying surface colour can affect the final appearance.

Bubbles in the paint.

Avoid over-brushing or rolling. Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Ensure the surface is free of dust and debris.
