Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was clean and dry before painting. Remove any greasy residue. If painting over a very glossy surface, a light scuff sand might be beneficial, though not always necessary.
Streaky or uneven finish
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Ensure you are using a good quality brush and working consistently. Stir paint frequently during application.
Wax finish is cloudy or sticky
Too much wax was applied, or excess was not wiped away properly. Allow more drying time and try buffing with a clean, dry cloth. Ensure the paint is fully cured before waxing.
Paint feels chalky or powdery after drying
This is normal for Chalk Paint before waxing. Apply wax or lacquer to seal the finish and achieve the desired look and protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your surface is clean and dry. Remove any loose or flaking old paint or lacquer. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. For optimal results, Annie Sloan recommends testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Compatibility: Chalk Paint adheres well to most surfaces including wood (bare, painted, varnished, or lacquered), metal, plastic, glass, terracotta, stone, brick, plaster, and fabric. It is not recommended for floors unless using Chalk Paint Lacquer for durability.
Care: After painting, allow the paint to cure fully (typically several days to a week) before heavy use. The finish should be protected 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. Allow wax to dry and buff gently. Apply lacquer according to its specific instructions. Clean painted items with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
