Annie Sloan Wall Paint 2.5 Litre - Carnaby Yellow

Carnaby Yellow is inspired by the mustard yellow pigments imported from India and used widely during the Swinging 60s, referencing the iconic Carnaby Street in London.

Annie Sloan Wall Paint typically provides a matte, chalky finish, characteristic of decorative paints designed for a sophisticated, artisanal look.

This specific product is Annie Sloan Wall Paint, formulated for interior walls. For furniture, you would typically use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™.

A 2.5-litre can typically covers approximately 15-20 square meters (160-215 sq ft) per coat, depending on the surface porosity and application method. Two coats are usually recommended.

Drying time is usually around 2-4 hours between coats, but this can vary based on humidity and temperature. It's best to allow it to dry fully before applying a second coat or placing items against the wall.

Carnaby Yellow pairs beautifully with rich browns, deep ochres, and earthy tones. It can also be contrasted with muted blues or greens for a more dynamic scheme.

The paint has a durable matte finish, but it's best cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing to preserve the finish.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and is free from dust or grease. Stir the paint thoroughly before application. Apply a second coat if necessary, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Use a high-quality brush or roller and apply paint with consistent, even strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. For a smoother finish, consider using a microfibre roller.

Lighting conditions significantly affect colour perception. Test a small area first. Ensure the paint is well-mixed. The final colour can also depend on the underlying surface colour; a primer might be needed.

Stir the paint vigorously. If still too thick, a *very* small amount of water (less than 5%) can be added, but this may affect the paint's performance and finish. Ensure the paint is stored at room temperature.
