The reason chalk paint is so popular is because it's easy to use and covers a myriad of imperfections. Chalk paint is ideal for secondhand furniture that needs some TLC, on dark wood furniture to give it a new look, and any piece of furniture that needs a modern update.
In this feature we transform three pieces of furniture that every home has with a couple of coats of Rust-Oleum Chalked Ultra Matte paint. See how easy it is...
Over-painted Cabinet
With its layers and layers of paint, sanding and stripping this cabinet would be a mission, but with chalk paint it's easy to give it a modern look.
The first step is to lightly sand the finish. You don't need to remove any paint - just lightly sand back until the paint looses its gloss.
What would have taken days of preparation can be done in a couple of hours.
Dated Dining Chairs
Detailed chairs can be difficult and time-consuming to sand and that's when the beauty of chalk paint comes into play.
The chairs only need a light sanding all over before applying Rust-Oleum Chalked Ultra Matte paint.
If you want to give the chalk painted chairs a distressed finish, use a sanding sponge lightly over the edges until you achieve the desired effect. Finish off with Rust-Oleum Chalked Protective Topcoat for a durable finish that's easy to wipe clean.
Re-upholstery the chair seats in a trendy fabric and your new chairs are ready for use.
Old-fashioned Coffee Tables
When you discover secondhand bargains, sometimes all these need are a bit of TLC.
Rust-Oleum Chalked paint is super-easy to apply and gives a stunning result and all that's needed is a little sanding beforehand.
Sometimes you may need to apply 2 or more coats to cover a dark surface.
It's also easy to apply added detail to your painted project. You can do distressing around the edges, add a decorative glaze, or apply a stencil design.
Whatever technique you decide to go with, finish off with a protective topcoat.
