FAQs

Do I need to prime before using Rust-Oleum Chalky Furniture Paint?

No, priming is generally not required, as the paint is designed to adhere to most surfaces without it.

Can I use this paint on outdoor furniture?

This paint is primarily designed for indoor use. For outdoor furniture, consider a paint specifically designed for outdoor conditions.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Typically, the paint dries to the touch in 2-4 hours. Allow for a longer drying time before applying a second coat or using the furniture.

How much paint will I need?

A 750ml tin will cover a significant area, but coverage depends on the surface and number of coats. It's best to estimate based on the size of your project.

How do I clean the paint brushes and rollers?

Clean brushes and rollers with water, as the paint is water-based. Do this immediately after use to prevent the paint from drying on the applicators.

Can I apply a topcoat?

Yes, for extra durability and protection, you can apply Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax or Lacquer.

What if I want a distressed look?

Apply two coats of different chalky furniture paint colours. Once dry, sand down the top coat in areas to expose the base coat.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any grease or wax. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Apply a thin, even coat.

Coverage is uneven or patchy.

Ensure paint is properly mixed. Apply a second coat if needed, allowing the first coat to dry completely. Use a quality brush or roller.

Paint is too thick.

If the paint seems too thick, it can be gently thinned with a small amount of water. Stir well before use.

Brush strokes are visible.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Allow the paint to self-level as it dries. You can also lightly sand the surface after it dries and then apply a final coat.
