KILZ Chalk Spray Paint, Interior, Platinum Ring, 12 Ounces

I had never used chalk paint before, so I watched videos and gave it the ol college try. It was WONDERFUL! I painted over varnished furniture and it went on amazingly. It covered perfectly and looks professional. It feels so soft. I thinned black paint with water and rubbed over sparingly. I can't believe the result. I then used Rust-Oleum matte clear chalked protective cover to seal (also from Amazon). You will not be disappointed with this paint. Tip: Turn the can upside down for 10 to 15 minutes, then shake well before opening, then stir well. Happy painting!

Topped it off with leftover Anne Sloan white wax.Perfect color and I saved a ton going with this brand instead. Sounds like a lot of reviewers need to do some reasearch about chalk paint and wax. It’s an art. It’s a process. Took 2And 1/2 paint jobs to cover the dark wood with light paint. Because I’m pregnant my mom was kind enough to do this job for me. Took her about a day and a 1/2 to complete the whole job. Always stroke or foam roll light coverage with every application.The paint dries quickly in between coats. Then you apply the wax, let it set, then buff it out. The wax seals and protects the paint and wood.I recommend visiting a store that specializes in chalk paint or at least a Pinterest page to learn about special tools and techniques.

Really covers well. I painted 2 dressers and all the drawer fronts and still had quite a bit left. Definitely did not need that second quart. I was very happy the consistency whether using a brush or roller and the final dried color. The odor was barely there compared to regular paints. I also want to mention that my cans were shipped with paper packing, sealed individually in plastic bags and the leds were held on by metal clamps (easily removed with a paint can lid tool or a flat screwdriver). Impressed by the attention to shipping detail!!

This paint saved a lot of money to find a new chair! Needed to keep these small size, comfortable chairs for basement remodeling, but the garish print needed to go. Put on one light coat of the chalk paint (wasn’t very well stirred up, but seemed to do fine) and instantly was transformed. The color was exactly as I had expected. I sprayed the chair with water first; the paint covered very well in one coat (as you can see in the photo, I purposely keep a little of the underlying print showing). Am planning to use a darker paste wax to buff in the finish, but it isn’t terribly stiff with just one coat. Have no idea what the durability will be, but if we can get a year out of these, I’ll be thrilled. Took less than an hour to do each chair and they dried well within 24 hours. Didn’t heatset with blow dryer or in sun. Will revise this review if something goes awry in the next six months, but this was a very satisfying craft project.

I lightly sanded the finished cabinet before adding a base coat of white then I used two coats of the swedish blue finished with clear and dark sealing wax. You have to be a little careful as some parts left a lot of brush strokes, but I'm sure that's a first timer mistake. Glad I used a base coat because I'm not sure if two coats would have hidden all the stain. Plus, I used most of the quart doing two coats on this cabinet ( I did not paint inside the drawers or closed cabinet).

Used this paint on our wrap-around TV unit. No prep other than wiping down all dust and removing all glass shelving. The paint goes on so smooth and it a little goes a long way. The color is very pigmented and rich. I switched between a small roller and brush, depending on which part of the unit I was painting, but the application was equally smooth. Once it was dry, the texture was very even and matte. Exactly what I was looking for; very pleased with the results.

This product is a reasonable price and easy to use. Most chalk paint is double the price. I didn't sand one piece and lightly sanded the other two. DON'T sand if you have old furniture. The pieces I sanded, a brownish color kept coming through.The finish is matte but you can put a glaze on which is super easy to apply and it will have whatever patina your glaze has.

Easy to use, no nasty smell, color was just as expected, cant say enough good about the product.
