FAQs

Do I need to sand the furniture before painting?

No, Hemway Chalk Paint is specifically formulated to adhere to surfaces without the need for sanding or priming.

Is this paint safe for children's toys?

Yes, it is non-toxic, low VOC, and certified safe for wooden and plastic toys under BS EN71-3 and ASTM F963-17 standards.

How many coats will I need?

Due to its high pigment-to-water ratio, one coat is often sufficient, though a second coat can be applied for deeper coverage if desired.

Can I use this on outdoor furniture?

While the paint is UV and fade-resistant, it is primarily designed for furniture and interior surfaces. For outdoor use, consider a protective exterior sealer.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Because the formula is water-based, you can easily clean your brushes and rollers with warm water and mild soap.

Can I mix this paint with other colors?

Yes, you can blend the chalk paint colors to create custom shades for your unique projects.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not sticking to the surface

Ensure the surface is completely clean and free of oils or wax before application.

Streaks appearing during application

Use a slightly damp brush to help the paint flow more evenly and avoid over-working the product.

Surface feels rough after drying

Lightly buff the surface with fine-grit sandpaper once fully cured to achieve a smoother finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for sanding or priming
  • Safe for use on children's furniture and toys
  • Excellent coverage in a single coat
  • Wide compatibility with various surfaces
  • Sustainable, low VOC formula

Cons

  • Requires careful planning for distressed finishes
  • May require more coats if applied over very dark or porous surfaces
  • Matte finish shows dirt more easily than gloss paints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure your surface is free from loose dust, grease, or heavy debris before application. No primer or sanding is needed. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or roller for the best finish. While the paint is durable, for high-traffic areas, you may choose to seal your work with a suitable wax or topcoat to protect the matt surface from scuffs. Clean your tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water while the paint is still wet to maintain equipment longevity.
