About Chalk Paint
Chalk Paint® is the versatile furniture paint developed by Annie Sloan in 1990. With no need for sanding or priming, you can simply pop open the tin, roll up your sleeves, dip in your brush and apply paint to furniture. Works on wood, metal, laminate, concrete, indoors, outdoors and beyond.
Chalk Paint® is suitable for beginners and for furniture painting professionals alike; it’s the fool-proof furniture paint which can be used to create any look you require. From colour-blocked, modern interiors, to pine bedside tables in need of a revamp, or authentic aged rustic effects fit for much-loved heirlooms, Chalk Paint® can solve all your furniture dilemmas.
The colours of Chalk Paint® are as unlimited as your imagination. Annie has created a colour palette inspired by 18th and 20th Century decor and design. New Chalk Paint® colours can easily be mixed to create your own bespoke shades.
Chalk Paint® finishes are as endlessly diverse as the colour selection and there’s a look to suit every style. Two coats of Chalk Paint® followed with Clear Chalk Paint® Wax gives that iconic, luxuriously velvety “Chalk Paint®” finish which looks beautiful in every home. That said, Chalk Paint® can be adjusted to achieve countless other looks to perfectly suit your taste, your personality, and your home. Add a little water to it to make it smooth, thicken it up by leaving the lid off, make it into a wash by adding even more water. Use Annie Sloan Flat Brushes for a modern look or her Chalk Paint® Brushes for a more textured aged look. Apply Chalk Paint® Wax or Lacquer to protect your finish and add durability.
