Full details

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Coco is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and furniture flippers looking to achieve a sophisticated, matte finish with minimal preparation. Its key benefit is its exceptional adhesion to diverse surfaces without the need for sanding or priming, significantly reducing project time. A minor caveat is that its velvety finish requires sealing with wax or lacquer for durability and desired sheen. This water-based, low-VOC paint offers rich, opaque colour, dries quickly, and is suitable for furniture, walls, and more.

FAQs

Do I really need to sand before using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint?

No, one of the primary benefits of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is that it requires no sanding or priming on most surfaces. Just ensure the surface is clean and dry.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint dries quickly, typically within 1 to 2 hours, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity. A second coat can usually be applied after this drying period.

What is the coverage rate of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint?

The coverage is approximately 13 square meters per litre. The 120ml pot will cover roughly 1.56 square meters.

Can I use this paint on fabric?

Yes, Chalk Paint can be used on fabric. For upholstery, apply a couple of thin coats, let it dry completely, and then seal with a light coat of Chalk Paint Wax. For items that will be washed, you may need to mix the paint with water to a more 'wash-like' consistency.

What is the best way to seal Chalk Paint?

Annie Sloan recommends sealing Chalk Paint with either Annie Sloan Soft Wax or Chalk Paint Lacquer. Wax provides a beautiful, soft sheen and is easy to apply, while Lacquer offers a more durable, tougher finish, especially suitable for high-traffic areas like floors or tabletops.

Is this paint suitable for outdoor furniture?

While Chalk Paint can be used on outdoor items, it is not inherently weatherproof. For items exposed to the elements, it's crucial to seal with Annie Sloan Lacquer for maximum protection against moisture and UV rays.

How do I clean my painted surface after it's sealed?

Once sealed with wax or lacquer, the surface can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning pads, as these can damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or lumpy

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still thick, add a small amount of water (a teaspoon per litre) and mix well. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly when not in use to prevent drying.

Uneven coverage or brush marks showing

Ensure paint is stirred well and applied in thin, even coats. Use a good quality brush or roller. Allow sufficient drying time between coats. For a smoother finish, apply with lighter, cross-hatching strokes.

Finish feels slightly chalky or powdery after drying

This is the natural finish of Chalk Paint. It needs to be sealed with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax or Lacquer for protection and to achieve the desired sheen.

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants like silicone or oil. Remove any glossy or very smooth finishes if not properly prepared or if the paint is not adhering as expected. Re-test on a small patch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces preparation time by eliminating the need for sanding or priming.
  • Adheres exceptionally well to a vast array of surfaces, offering great versatility.
  • Dries quickly, enabling faster project turnaround.
  • Low VOC and water-based formula makes it safe and pleasant to use indoors.
  • The matte finish provides a classic, sophisticated look that is easily customizable.

Cons

  • Requires a top coat of wax or lacquer for full protection and durability.
  • The 120ml size is suitable for smaller projects or touch-ups, potentially requiring multiple cans for larger items.
  • While odourless, adequate ventilation is still recommended during application.
  • Achieving a perfectly smooth finish may require technique and practice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or loose debris. Remove any old, flaking paint or varnish. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. For best results, Annie Sloan recommends testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Compatibility: This paint is designed to adhere to most surfaces including wood, metal, brick, concrete, plaster, MDF, laminate, plastic, and fabric. It can be applied over existing paint, varnish, or even wallpaper (if well-adhered).

Care: Clean brushes, rollers, and any spills immediately after use with soap and water. Once the painted surface is fully cured (typically after 21 days, especially when waxed), it can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing.
