Product Information
Full details
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Tyrian Plum is designed for DIY enthusiasts and interior decorators looking to revitalize furniture and home accessories with a sophisticated, deep-toned matte finish. Its primary benefit is its exceptional adhesion, which allows users to paint directly onto wood, metal, and fabric without tedious sanding or priming. While it offers incredible convenience and a non-toxic formula, users should note that it requires a protective top coat like wax or lacquer to ensure long-term durability against moisture and heavy handling.

Troubleshooting

Paint is chipping off the surface.
Ensure the surface was free of heavy wax or oil residues before application; if necessary, clean the surface more thoroughly and re-apply.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your surface is clean and free of loose dust or grease. No sanding is necessary, but a quick wipe-down helps. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a quality brush to achieve the desired texture; for a smoother look, lightly mist the brush with water. Once fully dry, you must protect your work. Use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax or Lacquer to seal the paint, as this will prevent staining and provide the desired sheen level—from matte to satin. Clean your brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water to maintain their longevity.
