Our studio sells three lines of paint - Milk Paint by Fusion, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, and Fusion Mineral Paint.
Simply mix this powder with water- it’s that easy! A Milk Paint finish is unique and can range from a solid color to a stain, it all depends on how much water you add! It can be used on any porous surface without a primer. It will never chip or peel on porous surfaces as it soaks in and binds with the substrate. On a pre-finished surface, it will likely chip (which is a unique and amazing effect of milk paint). If you don't want this to happen, simply add ultra grip to your mixed milk paint.
Lightly sand with a 220 grit sandpaper to achieve a smooth surface. Remove dust. Apply top coat. We recommend hemp oil or furniture wax. This will also bring out the true depth of your paint colour.
Now a global phenomenon, Annie Sloan first developed the Chalk Paint® range in 1990 to answer the need she had for a versatile paint that would work beautifully on furniture without priming or sanding; that would be easy to use and quick to dry; and that could be used for a number of different paint techniques. She called it Chalk Paint® because of its velvety, ultra matte finish.
As a rough guide, one litre of Chalk Paint® covers aproximately 13 square metres, or the equivalent of a small welsh dresser or china hutch.
For most purposes, one coat of paint is enough. Chalk Paint® adheres to almost any surface, and there is rarely any need to sand or prime before painting.
To get started, tip pot upside down and shake before use. Then open and stir well. If paint is too thick just add a little water and stir. For the best results, we recommend using a good quality paintbrush like the Chalk Paint® Brushes to apply the paint.
You can paint Chalk Paint® over Chalk Paint® Wax.
