Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Coolabah Green is for DIY enthusiasts and professionals looking to transform furniture and interiors with minimal prep. Its key benefit is adhering to most surfaces without sanding or priming, offering a rich, velvety matte finish often in a single coat. A potential caveat is the need for sealing with wax or lacquer for durability and desired finish.

For most surfaces, no sanding or priming is required. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is formulated to adhere exceptionally well to a wide variety of materials with minimal preparation. However, it's always a good idea to test on an inconspicuous area first.
The coverage is approximately 13m² per litre. Therefore, a 120ml pot will cover roughly 1.56m² (13m² / 1000ml * 120ml), which is suitable for smaller furniture items, accents, or touch-ups.
Chalk Paint should be sealed with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax for a matte, hand-finished look or Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Lacquer for a more durable, washable finish, especially on surfaces like tabletops or floors. Apply wax with a lint-free cloth or brush and wipe away excess.
Yes, Chalk Paint can be used on kitchen cabinets and tables. For these high-traffic areas, it is crucial to seal the paint thoroughly with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Lacquer or multiple coats of Chalk Paint Wax to ensure durability and protection against moisture and wear.
Drying time is approximately 1-2 hours between coats, depending on humidity and temperature. The paint becomes touch-dry relatively quickly, allowing for subsequent coats or finishing.
Yes, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is a water-based, non-toxic formula with ultra-low VOCs, making it child-friendly and safe to use on furniture intended for children's rooms.
Once sealed with wax or lacquer, surfaces painted with Chalk Paint can be cleaned using a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning materials to preserve the finish.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from wax or silicone. Remove any peeling or flaking old paint. For very glossy surfaces, a light sanding can improve adhesion.
Apply thinner coats of paint. Use a high-quality brush and try a smoother, more consistent application technique. Alternatively, embrace the textured look as a feature.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before application. Apply paint evenly and allow adequate drying time between coats. Uneven sealing with wax can also affect the final appearance.
Ensure excess wax has been wiped away completely. Buff the surface once the wax is dry to achieve a smooth sheen. Apply wax in thin, even layers.
Stir the paint well. If it seems exceptionally thick, you can add a very small amount of water (a teaspoon per litre) and mix thoroughly. Avoid adding too much water, as this can affect paint performance.
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease or loose debris. For heavily lacquered or varnished surfaces, a light scuff sand may be beneficial, though generally not required. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is designed for a multitude of surfaces including bare wood, previously painted or varnished wood, laminate, metal, plastic, brick, stone, plaster, and fabric. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. One or two thin coats are usually sufficient. Drying time between coats is typically 1-2 hours.
Sealing: For durability and to achieve the desired finish, Chalk Paint must be sealed. Apply Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax using a lint-free cloth or a dedicated Wax Brush. Work the wax into the paint and wipe away any excess before allowing it to dry. For a more durable, wash-resistant finish, particularly on floors or high-traffic items, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Lacquer can be used as an alternative or over wax.
Care: Clean application tools (brushes, rollers) with warm water and soap immediately after use. Once sealed, surfaces painted with Chalk Paint can typically be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
