Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Emperors Silk is for DIY enthusiasts and professionals looking to easily transform furniture and interiors. Its key benefit is minimal preparation, allowing for quick application on most surfaces. A minor caveat is the need for a topcoat to ensure durability. This water-based, low-VOC paint offers rich, velvety colour, adheres to diverse materials, and dries quickly, often achieving full coverage in a single coat.

Generally, no. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is designed to adhere to most surfaces with minimal to no preparation. You rarely need to sand or prime, saving significant time. However, it's always wise to test on a small area first.
Drying time is typically 1-2 hours between coats, depending on humidity and temperature. The paint dries quickly to the touch, but full curing takes longer.
It can be used on a wide variety of surfaces including wood, metal, brick, concrete, plaster, floors, laminate, and fabric. It adheres well to old painted or lacquered surfaces.
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is water-based and virtually odour-free, making it safe and pleasant to use in any indoor environment.
Chalk Paint should be sealed with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax or Chalk Paint Lacquer to protect and enhance the finish. Apply wax with a lint-free cloth or brush.
Clean painted surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing to maintain the finish.
The coverage is approximately 13 square meters per litre.
While it can be used on outdoor furniture, it must be thoroughly sealed with Chalk Paint Lacquer for protection against the elements. For items exposed to harsh weather, additional protective measures may be needed.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, add a small amount of water (about 10% by volume) and mix well. Ensure the lid is sealed when not in use.
Ensure the surface was clean and dry before painting. Apply thin, even coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Stir paint well before each use.
Ensure the Chalk Paint is fully dry before waxing. Apply wax in thin coats. Wipe away excess wax thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth. Allow sufficient drying time for the wax to cure.
Check that the surface was free from grease, dust, or very glossy finishes. If painting over a very slick surface like melamine or high-gloss varnish, a light scuff (or a coat of Annie Sloan’s own primer) might be beneficial, though typically not required.
Setup: Ensure your surface is clean and dry before application. Remove any loose or flaking paint or lacquer. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is compatible with wood, metal, brick, concrete, plaster, floors, and fabric. It adheres to most previously painted or lacquered surfaces. Always perform a small test patch on an inconspicuous area first to ensure desired results.
Care: After painting, allow the paint to cure fully (typically several days) before applying a protective topcoat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax or Lacquer. Apply wax using a lint-free cloth or a specialized wax brush, working it into the paint and wiping away any excess. For regular cleaning of painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
