This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and furniture upcyclers looking to refresh interior pieces. The key benefit is achieving a velvety, flat matt finish with minimal preparation, even over previously coated surfaces. A caveat is to always test compatibility on existing finishes. Rustins Chalky Finish Paint in Georgian Grey is designed to revive furniture, featuring a wax content that prevents finger marking and dries to a durable, chalky look.

It is suitable for most interior surfaces including wood, metal, and previously painted or varnished items. Always test for compatibility on existing finishes.
Generally, no primer is needed as it can be applied over most previously coated surfaces with minimal preparation. However, a test patch is recommended.
Clean your brushes immediately after use with warm water. The paint is water-based.
The paint contains wax and dries to a finish that does not finger mark easily. For added durability on high-traffic surfaces, a clear topcoat can be applied after the paint is fully cured.
Apply multiple coats, let them dry, then lightly sand areas like edges or raised details with fine sandpaper or 0000 steel wool to reveal the layer underneath.
No, this paint is designed for interior use only.
Drying times can vary based on conditions, but typically it dries to the touch within an hour and can be recoated after 2-4 hours. Allow longer for full cure.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If applying over a very glossy surface, a light sanding may improve adhesion.
Apply paint in thinner, more even coats. Ensure the brush is loaded evenly and avoid overworking the paint. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application.
Ensure paint is fully dry before attempting to distress. Use very fine sandpaper (e.g., 240-grit or higher) or 0000 steel wool and apply light pressure.
While the paint contains wax, high-wear surfaces might benefit from a clear protective topcoat applied after the chalk paint has fully cured. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
Preparation: For best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease. Very little preparation is needed, as the paint can be applied over most existing finishes. However, always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with the existing coating.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply in thin, even coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior wood, metal, and previously painted or varnished surfaces. Avoid use on exterior projects or high-moisture areas.
Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with warm water. The paint contains wax and does not typically require a separate wax or varnish finish for a matte look, but for increased durability on high-traffic surfaces, a clear topcoat can be considered after the paint has fully cured. The finish does not finger mark easily once dry.
