Rustins Chalky Finish Furniture Paint - Black

While this paint is designed for minimal preparation, priming is recommended for very glossy surfaces or if you are painting over a dark, vibrant colour to ensure optimal adhesion and coverage.

Typically, two coats are sufficient to achieve a rich, even colour. However, this can vary depending on the surface and the desired coverage. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.

This paint is primarily designed for hard surfaces like wood, metal, and plaster. It is not recommended for use on fabric.

A clear matt varnish or a good quality furniture wax is recommended to protect the chalky finish and enhance its durability, especially for items that will be handled frequently.

The paint is touch-dry within a short period, but recoating can usually be done within 2-4 hours. Full curing will take longer, so avoid heavy use until the paint has fully hardened.

While it can be used on outdoor furniture, it is essential to seal it with a durable exterior varnish for adequate weather protection. It is not formulated for prolonged exposure to the elements without protection.

Yes, Rustins offers a variety of colours in their Chalky Finish Furniture Paint range, including Cream, Pink, Blue, Green, and Grey, alongside this Black variant.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting.

Apply a protective topcoat such as furniture wax or a clear matt varnish. Allow adequate drying and curing time before use.
