Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ was developed in 1990 by Annie Sloan for decorating furniture and other suitable surfaces. This water-based paint offers countless possibilities for custom furniture and creative projects.
Depending on the surface, Chalk Paint™ can often be applied with relatively little preparation. However, the surface and condition of each project should be checked before painting and prepared accordingly if necessary.
Chalk Paint™ can be used on a variety of suitable surfaces, including wood, metal, and various previously painted or coated surfaces. The preparation required depends on the specific surface and its condition.
Chalk Paint™ offers many possibilities for custom designs, especially when upcycling furniture—from smooth surfaces to vintage, shabby, and patina effects. The number of coats required may vary depending on the color, surface, and desired result.

Project preparation
Depending on the surface, Chalk Paint™ can often be applied with relatively little preparation. Nevertheless, it’s worth taking a close look at the surface before painting—because proper preparation always depends on the material and condition of the piece of furniture in question.
The surface should be clean, dry, dust-free, and free of grease, wax, and any loose or unstable residues. Dirty surfaces should be cleaned with a cleaning agent suitable for the specific substrate before painting and then prepared according to the application instructions.
For woods from which substances, odors, or discoloration may seep through, a suitable sealer may be necessary. This applies, for example, to certain older pieces of furniture, heavily stained or odor-laden surfaces, and some untreated woods.
Very smooth, glossy, or coated surfaces should be inspected particularly carefully before painting. Depending on the substrate, sanding and/or a suitable primer may be necessary.
If you’re working with an unknown surface or if you’re unsure, we recommend applying a test coat to an inconspicuous area. This will allow you to check whether any additional preparatory steps are needed before you begin the full project.
Application
Chalk Paint™ is applied directly from the can. Stir well before painting so that the pigments are evenly distributed. If the paint is very thick, you can dilute it with a little water – often just a small sip is enough.
The paint adheres reliably to almost all surfaces: Wood, metal, melamine, laminate, stone, concrete, glass and even fabric. Depending on the color, substrate and desired look, one or two coats are usually sufficient.
Flat brushes or rollers are suitable for a smooth, modern finish. If you want more texture, vibrancy or a deliberately handcrafted look, Chalk Paint™ brushes are ideal. They leave visible, characterful brushstrokes that give the furniture depth and expression.
Chalk Paint™ dries quickly and allows you to work quickly. You can often continue working on your project the same day or even seal it.
Whether clear and modern, gently aged, rustic or elegant – Chalk Paint™ adapts to your style, not the other way around.
Sealing
After painting, Chalk Paint™ can be sealed with a suitable wax or varnish, depending on the project and the intended use. The choice of finish affects the look, feel, and properties of the finished surface.
Chalk Paint™ Wax creates a velvety finish with visual depth. This can make the color appear slightly more intense and, depending on the application and polishing, range from matte to slightly glossy. Different waxes also allow for decorative effects and custom finishes.
For projects where a lacquer sealant is desired or recommended based on the intended use, Chalk Paint™ Lacquer can be used. This water-based lacquer is available in various finishes. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s current instructions regarding selection, application, and intended use.
Waxed and lacquered surfaces need sufficient time to dry and cure after treatment. Handle the piece of furniture with care during this time and follow the manufacturer’s current instructions regarding drying and curing times.
By choosing a sealant that’s suitable for your specific project and its intended use, you can provide additional protection for the finished surface and give it the desired finish.
Care
Caring for surfaces finished with Chalk Paint™ depends on the sealer used and how much the piece of furniture is used. For regular cleaning, a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth is usually sufficient.
On waxed furniture, signs of wear can be touched up with a small amount of clear Chalk Paint™ Wax, depending on the type of surface. Apply the wax sparingly with a soft cloth, following the manufacturer’s current application instructions.
Avoid using harsh cleaners, alcohol, or solvent-based sprays on waxed surfaces, as these can damage the wax layer. Depending on usage and wear, it may be necessary to re-wax the surface later.
Coasters, felt pads, and appropriate heat protection help protect the finished surface from signs of wear and tear. Also, avoid extreme heat, high humidity, and significant temperature fluctuations.
Minor signs of wear can be touched up or intentionally incorporated into the character of the piece, depending on the surface and the finish used.
