Ronseal Chalky Furniture Paint

Ronseal Chalky Furniture Paint is perfect for transforming old and new wooden furniture, doors and cupboards. Unlike traditional chalk paint products, it protects them too, so there's no need to overcoat with a wood wax or lacquer for protection. You still get that chalky, flat matt finish that looks great, but it's tough too, so it will look great for longer.

Please Note: This product is not suitable for use on wooden floors.

Ensure that furniture and other interior wooden surfaces to be painted are clean, dry and free from dirt, dust and any other surface contaminates. Open doors and windows for good ventilation and lay down dust sheets to cover areas not to be painted.

Bare or New Wood

1. Lightly sand furniture and other interior wood to help with adhesion and final finish
2. Sand using 120grit sandpaper in the direction of the wood grain
3. After sanding, vacuum the wood to be painted and surrounding area to remove all traces of sanding dust
4. Wipe the wood with a clean, white, lint free cloth dampened with white spirit
5. Fill any holes or minor imperfections in the wood with Ronseal High Performance Wood Filler or Ronseal Multi Purpose Wood Filler

Previously Painted Wood

1. Old paint or varnish that is in good condition should be lightly sanded with 240grit sandpaper
2. Old paint or varnish that is flaking or cracked must be sanded back to bare wood
3. For the best results, use an electric sander using 120grit sandpaper
4. Sand in the direction of the wood grain
5. Always wear a suitable dust mask when sanding and especially so when sanding back old coatings and finishes
6. Vacuum the wood and surrounding area to remove all traces of sanding dust
7. Wipe the wood with a clean, white, lint free cloth dampened with white spirit

Always do a small test area to assess the colour and compatibility of the finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Chalky Furniture Paint should only be applied in temperatures above 10°C. Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use to ensure a consistent finish.

1. Apply Ronseal Chalky Paint with a good quality synthetic brush in the direction of the wood grain
2. Apply 2 coats, leaving 4 hours between coats

Q. What's the difference between traditional chalk furniture paint and Ronseal Chalk Paint?

A. Most chalk paint products on the market are made to their own unique formulation and usually require a wax top coat, to seal in the finish. Although Ronseal Chalky Furniture Paint is not a traditional chalk paint, it has the benefit of providing a chalk furniture paint finish that does not require a wax top coat. As with traditional chalk paint products, it is perfect for a wide range of upcycling and Shabby Chic furniture projects.
