FAQs
Do I need to sand the furniture before applying the paint?
No, priming and sanding are generally not required on most surfaces. However, it is always a good idea to clean the surface first.
Can I use this paint on outdoor furniture?
This paint is primarily designed for indoor use. For outdoor furniture, consider using a paint specifically designed for outdoor conditions.
How many coats of paint do I need?
One coat is usually sufficient for good coverage. However, applying a second coat can enhance the finish and durability.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying times vary depending on environmental conditions. Always refer to the product label for specific drying times.
What is the coverage area of a 750ml tin?

Can I mix different colours of Rust-Oleum Chalky Furniture Paint?
It is not recommended to mix the paints. Each color is designed to achieve a specific result and performance.
How do I achieve a distressed or vintage look?
Apply two similar colours, let them dry, and then lightly sand the edges to reveal the lower coat, or the original surface.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean and free of grease. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting.
Uneven finish after one coat.
Apply a second coat for a more even finish or try a different application method, such as a roller instead of a brush.
