Product Information
Full details
Hemway Chalk Paint is an ideal choice for DIY enthusiasts and home renovators looking to upcycle furniture or refresh walls with a professional, ultra-matt finish. Its primary benefit is a high-pigment formula that eliminates the need for tedious sanding or priming, saving significant time on projects. However, users should be aware that while it offers excellent coverage, achieving a perfectly smooth finish requires careful brush or roller technique to avoid visible texture.

FAQs
Do I need to apply a wax or sealer after painting?
While the paint is durable on its own, applying a clear wax or topcoat can add extra protection for high-traffic furniture items.
Can this paint be used outdoors?
This formula is primarily intended for indoor use on walls and furniture.
Is the paint safe for children's furniture?
Yes, it is certified to BS EN71-3 & ASTM F963-17 standards, making it safe for use on wooden and plastic toys.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint features a rapid drying time, though it is best to allow several hours before applying a second coat or heavy use.
Can I use this on metal surfaces?
Yes, the formula is compatible with clean, prepared metal surfaces.
How should I clean the brushes?
Because it is a water-based formula, brushes and rollers can be easily cleaned using warm, soapy water immediately after application.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush strokes in the finish
Use a high-quality synthetic brush, thin the paint slightly with a drop of water, or use a foam roller for a flatter finish.
Paint not sticking to glossy surfaces
While no priming is needed, ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned of all wax or polish residues which act as a barrier to adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the paint, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of loose debris or heavy grease. While the formula is designed to grip without primers, a quick wipe down with a damp cloth is recommended. For application, use high-quality brushes or rollers to minimize shedding and streaks. Clean your tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water while the paint is still wet. To maintain the finish, wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may degrade the matte texture over time.
