FAQs
Do I really need to sand or prime before using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint?
Generally, no. Chalk Paint is designed to adhere to most surfaces with minimal to no preparation, saving you time. However, Annie Sloan always recommends testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
How long does it take for Chalk Paint to dry?
Chalk Paint dries relatively quickly, typically within 1 to 2 hours, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
What is the best way to seal Chalk Paint?
Chalk Paint should be sealed with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax for a durable, protective finish. For a more robust, water-resistant finish, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Lacquer can also be used.
Can I use this paint on exterior surfaces?
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is primarily designed for interior use. While it can be used on some exterior items, it must be thoroughly sealed with Chalk Paint Lacquer for protection against the elements and is not recommended for high-traffic exterior surfaces.
How much area does 120ml of paint cover?
The 120ml pot is a sample size, suitable for smaller projects or touch-ups. Coverage is approximately 13m² per litre, so a 120ml pot would cover roughly 1.56m² (13m² / 1000ml * 120ml).
Can Chalk Paint be used on fabric?
Yes, Chalk Paint can be used on fabric. For upholstery, dilute the paint slightly with water and apply. After drying, it's recommended to seal with Chalk Paint Wax for a soft, pliable finish.
Is the paint safe for children's furniture?
Yes, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is water-based, non-toxic, and has ultra-low VOCs, making it child-friendly and safe for use on furniture that children will use.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or lumpy
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still thick, add a small amount of water (approx. 10-15% water to paint ratio) and mix well. Avoid adding too much water, as it can affect the paint's consistency.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure you are using a good quality brush and applying the paint evenly. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure paint is well stirred before application. A second coat may be needed for full opacity.
Chalky residue after painting, before waxing
This is normal for Chalk Paint. The powdery finish is characteristic. Ensure it is completely dry before applying wax or lacquer.
Wax is not drying or feels tacky
Ensure the paint is completely dry before applying wax. The room should have good ventilation and a moderate temperature. Avoid applying wax too thickly. Wipe away excess wax thoroughly.
Paint not adhering well to the surface
Ensure the surface was clean and dry before painting. Remove any greasy or waxy residues. Re-test on a small patch, and consider a very light sanding on extremely glossy surfaces if testing proves adhesion issues, though this is rarely necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your surface is clean and dry before application. If there are loose flakes of old paint or lacquer, remove them. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush. For best results, use Annie Sloan's own brushes.
Compatibility: Chalk Paint adheres to most surfaces including wood, metal, brick, concrete, plaster, floors, and fabric. It can be painted over existing paint, varnish, and even some plastics. Always perform a small test patch on an inconspicuous area to ensure adhesion and desired finish.
Care: After painting, allow the paint to dry for at least 1-2 hours. Once dry, seal the painted surface with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax or Lacquer. Apply wax using a lint-free cloth or a wax brush, working it into the paint and wiping away any excess before leaving it to dry. For lacquered finishes, follow the instructions on the lacquer product. Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with soap and water.
