Paint Surfaces & Application

French Linen 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 sanding. However, be aware that tannin rich timbers will firstly require a stain block to be applied to prevent leaching. We love Zinsser Smart Prime for stain blocking. 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 a small amount of solvent/methylated spirits which will clean the surface of any dirt and grease. Surfaces should be sound and free of any mildew or rust. 

Stir well making sure there are no contents sitting on the bottom of the can. Apply 1, 2 or 3 coats of French Linen 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. 

French Linen Chalk Furniture Paint 1 Litre covers between 10 - 14 square metres, depending on your item.
