What is the difference between Eggshell and Chalk Paint?

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, cleaned, and degreased. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a better grip.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint with a good quality brush or roller. Use smooth, consistent strokes and avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting during application.

Color appears different than expected

The eggshell finish has a subtle sheen that can cause color to shift slightly under different lighting. Consider painting a small test area to observe the color in your intended space.

Paint is too thick or too thin

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water can be added, but avoid over-thinning which can affect coverage and durability. Follow recommended application guidelines.
