Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Athenian Black is designed for DIY enthusiasts and interior designers seeking to easily transform furniture and home decor. Its primary benefit is the minimal preparation required, allowing for quick application on diverse surfaces. A potential caveat is that the paint requires a top coat of wax or lacquer for durability and to achieve the desired finish. This water-based, ultra-low VOC paint offers rich, velvety color, excellent coverage, and easy cleanup.

No, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is specifically designed to adhere to most surfaces with little to no sanding or priming required. Always ensure the surface is clean and dry, and remove any loose or flaking finishes first.
The 120ml pot is suitable for smaller projects. Coverage is approximately 13m² per litre, so a 120ml pot will cover roughly 1.56m².
Chalk Paint should be sealed with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax for a soft, matte finish or Chalk Paint Lacquer for a more durable, washable finish. Both are applied after the paint has dried.
Yes, Chalk Paint can be used on fabric, such as upholstery or textiles. After painting and drying, it's recommended to iron the fabric on a hot setting (without steam) through a cloth to set the paint.
Clean your brushes thoroughly with soap and water immediately after use. This will prevent the paint from drying in the bristles.
Yes, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is a water-based, non-toxic, and virtually odour-free formula with ultra-low VOCs, making it child-friendly and safe for use on furniture that children will use.
Absolutely. The base finish is matte. You can achieve aged effects by applying dark wax over light paint, or vice versa, and then buffing. Distressing can be achieved by sanding lightly after painting or by using two contrasting colours and sanding through the top layer. Lacquer provides a more durable, less matte finish.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, add a very small amount of water (a teaspoon at a time) and mix well. Avoid adding too much water, which can make it too thin.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use a good quality brush and paint in a consistent direction. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Ensure the Chalk Paint underneath is fully dry before applying wax. Apply wax thinly and remove all excess. Low humidity and good ventilation can aid drying. Allow at least 24-48 hours for wax to cure fully before heavy use.
This can happen if the surface was not properly cleaned, or if the paint was applied over a very slick or greasy surface without adequate adhesion. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry, and consider a test patch on problematic surfaces.
