Product Information

Full details

Hemway Premium Chalk Paint is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to breathe new life into furniture and walls without the need for intensive prep work. This high-pigment, water-based formula provides a smooth, ultra-matt finish on a wide variety of surfaces, including wood, brick, and metal. While it excels at delivering rapid, single-coat coverage, users should note that achieving a professional-looking distressed 'shabby chic' finish requires careful layering and manual sanding, which demands a bit of practice.

Do I need to apply a wax or varnish over the paint?

How long does it take to dry?

It is fast-drying, typically touch-dry within an hour, though recoat times can vary based on ambient humidity.

Can I use this on outdoor furniture?

This paint is primarily formulated for interior use; it is not recommended for permanent exposure to outdoor weather.

How many colours are available?

The range includes 118 versatile colours to suit various decor styles.

Troubleshooting

Paint is streaking during application

Ensure your brush or roller is clean and try thinning the paint with a tiny amount of water to improve flow.

Poor adhesion on very glossy surfaces

While the paint is designed for no-prep, exceptionally high-gloss surfaces may benefit from a light scuff-sand to improve grip.

Paint drying too fast

Avoid working in direct sunlight or areas with high heat; keep the paint container covered when not actively loading your brush.
