FAQs

How long does Rustins Quick Dry Chalky Paint take to dry?

It is quick-drying, typically touch dry within 30-60 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity. Recoating is usually possible after 2-4 hours.

Can I use this paint on kitchen cabinets?

Yes, it can be used on interior kitchen cabinets. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and clean. For high-traffic areas, consider a topcoat of clear wax or a water-based varnish for added durability.

Do I need to prime before using this paint?

Minimal preparation is usually required. However, for very dark or unstable surfaces, or for maximum durability, applying a suitable primer beforehand is recommended. Always test on a small area first.

How do I achieve the 'shabby chic' distressed look?

Apply your desired number of coats. Once the final coat is dry, lightly sand areas like edges, corners, or raised details with fine-grit sandpaper or 0000 steel wool to reveal the layer beneath.

What is the coverage of this paint?

Coverage varies depending on the surface and application method, but typically one litre covers approximately 10-12 square metres.

Can this paint be used on outdoor furniture?

No, Rustins Quick Dry Chalky Paint is specifically designed for interior use only.

How should I store the paint?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain the paint's quality.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and free from dust or grease. Lightly abrade glossy surfaces before application. Test compatibility on a small area first.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Stir the paint thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use a good quality brush and maintain a wet edge. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint is too thick

Stir the paint well. If still too thick, a very small amount of water can be added (max 10%), but this may affect drying time and finish.

Finger marks appearing easily

This paint contains wax to help resist finger marks. Ensure the paint is fully cured before heavy handling. For extra durability and protection, consider applying a clear wax polish or lacquer after the paint has dried and cured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to apply and dries quickly.
  • Water-based formula simplifies cleanup.
  • Achieves a desirable chalky matt finish.
  • Requires less surface preparation than traditional paints.
  • The wax content helps resist finger marks.

Cons

  • Requires testing for compatibility on existing finishes.
  • May require a primer on certain surfaces for optimal adhesion.
  • The chalky finish can be susceptible to scuffing if not sealed (though the wax helps).
  • Only suitable for interior use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller.

Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior wood, metal, and previously painted surfaces. *Always test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area* of the existing finish before applying to the entire piece, especially on plastics or heavily lacquered items.

Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. For the finished painted surface, clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
