The Craig & Rose Chalk Wash Paint is engineered to deliver a distinctive chalky, soft textured finish that elevates your interior spaces. It's not a standalone paint but rather an effect layer applied over a dry base coat of Craig & Rose Chalky Emulsion. This interaction is key to achieving the desired depth and character. You have creative freedom in application; whether you prefer sponging for a mottled, diffused look, rag-rolling for a textured, aged appearance, or brushing for a more uniform yet still soft wash, the paint adapts. For example, applying it over a light beige Chalky Emulsion will give a soft, sun-kissed yellow, while using a darker base can create a rich, 'deep mustard seed yellow' or 'warm, burnished' effect. Remember to only apply one coat to maintain its beautiful translucent quality. With a quick 4-hour drying time and coverage of 7.5 sqm per litre, you can efficiently transform your space and enjoy the unique visual texture it provides.
For optimal results, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. This Chalk Wash Paint is specifically designed to be applied over a Craig & Rose Chalky Emulsion base coat. It is crucial that this base coat is completely dry, which typically takes at least 4 hours, before applying the Chalk Wash. Compatibility is key here; using other types of base paints may not yield the intended chalky, translucent effect. To apply, simply use a brush, sponge, or rag, depending on your desired finish. Clean your application tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to maintain product quality.
