FAQs
Do I need to sand before painting?
Generally, no sanding is required, but a light cleaning of the surface is recommended. If the surface is particularly glossy or uneven, a light sanding may help.
How many coats of paint will I need?
One coat is usually sufficient for good coverage. However, a second coat may be needed for certain surfaces or to achieve the desired colour depth.
What kind of finish does this paint provide?
The paint provides a smooth, chalky matt finish.
Can I use this paint on outdoor furniture?
This paint is designed for indoor furniture. For outdoor use, consider a paint specifically formulated for outdoor conditions.
How do I create a distressed look?
Apply a base coat in a different, but similar colour. Once dry, apply "My Husband Said No" pink and lightly sand areas to reveal the base coat.
What can I use to protect the painted surface?
For added protection, apply Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax or Rust-Oleum Furniture Lacquer after the paint has dried.
What is the best way to clean the paint brushes?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean and free of wax or grease. Lightly sand the surface if necessary.
Uneven finish or brush marks.
Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply paint in thin, even coats and avoid overbrushing.
