Paint Surfaces & Application
Paint Surfaces & Application
Blake & Taylor Chalk Furniture Paint can be used over timber, laminate, metal, laminex, varnish, fabric, water and oil based paint, clay, wicker and tiles without the need for priming or heavy sanding. However, be aware that tannin rich timbers will firstly require a stain block to be applied to prevent leaching. See our FAQ page for more detail
Naturally, your item will need to be clean and free of all loose and flaking material, dirt and grease/oil. We recommend cleaning your surface with a sugar soap solution or methylated spirits, which will clean the surface of any dirt and grease. Surfaces should be sound and free of any mildew or rust. Wipe down surfaces to remove any cleaning product. A light scuff sand is recommended, especially if the surface is highly polished, glossy, or made of laminate or melamine. Scuff sanding means lightly sanding with 180–220 grade paper to create a key for the paint to adhere to. Remove all sanding dust.
Stir well, making sure there are no contents sitting on the bottom of the can. Apply 1, 2 or 3 coats of Chalk Furniture Paint (depending on your item and the look you want to achieve) with either a brush or roller. Touch dry within around 30 minutes. Re-coat in 1 to 2 hours depending on the weather. Finish by either waxing or applying Clear Top Coat. The paint will be fully cured after 7 days.
Blake & Taylor Chalk Furniture Paint 1 Litre covers between 10 - 14 square metres, depending on your item.
